Double Dipping

 

Everybody knows why you go to Costco. 

It's the samples.

But if you are Tessa, you have to pass them up. 

I know how she feels, and now that I am back in the boat with her she is very happy to have someone share her ore.  It's not that misery loves company.  She feels like we are partners.  She gets a kick out of sharing her rice milk, her gluten-free cereal and her dairy free cheese.  We talk about how it feels to be left out when goodies show up.

 

So Saturday I took Tessa someplace where she could double dip her ore if she wanted to.

The little local Gluten-Free Specialty Market

 in Sacramento had their anniversary party with vendors, sale items

and SAMPLES!!!!

 

Tessa invited Ellie.  I invited Natalie.  We had a girl's day out.

We sampled. 

And sampled some more.

(Yea for PB&J granola, nay for seaweed snacks!)

It was so fun to see her feeling normal.

It was just plain fun.

In other news...

Had a leg scan today.

It was unclear.

There have been some new symptoms.

We are waiting to hear more, maybe tomorrow.

Could be more clotting.

Could be an arterial problem.

Could be my body is just trying to find a

new normal.

 

I'm not worried.  Things are going to be okay.
