No sugar update--I am in the full swing of sugar withdrawal. Thankfully, eating protein has helped me keep the worst of withdrawal at bay. But I'm 1) very tired 2) mentally listless 3) unfocused. But a few days of pain is worth a life of clarity.

Reduced/no sugar diet update: I'm realizing just how dependent on sugar I actually was. I'm tired in the middle of the day for no reason. Must be because usually by this time, I'd have had a cup of coffee and a cup of tea, both with sugar. Hmmmm....

I'm significantly reducing/eliminating sugar from my diet. I've learned how sugar can exacerbate brain inflammation, which leads to a host of problems, including mental health issues. I want to be able to kick my mental medication out the door, so if sugar's got to go, then bye.

I haven't seen #TheSunIsAlsoAStar yet, but back when I had a little more time to review trailers, I tried to tackle some of the brewing controversy that developed even as the trailer was building positive buzz. http://colorwebmag.com/2019/02/20/trailer-talk-the-sun-is-also-a-star-looks-cute-enough-but-heres-why-its-getting-hate/

My latest #CloakAndDagger review, in which I reveal my increasing irritation with this season, which is a real shame. https://www.slashfilm.com/cloak-and-dagger-two-player-review/

At least the Alabama Congress is doing this: https://abc3340.com/news/local/alabama-house-approves-equal-pay-legislation

Trying to see what #TheSunIsAlsoAStar talk is about today. I’d like to see the film soon, since I feel like there will be a lot to dissect.

I live in an area where screaming frogs come out at night. Sigh. But I’m glad they’re having fun.

Am I going to be angry once again after this episode of #DragRace?

#CloakAndDagger finally did something I’m not happy with. Will get into it into the review.

Feeling a little under the weather, so I’m going to try my hand at making some hot and sour soup. Ready for the challenge.
