Better

Better. Much better
I'm feeling so much better this week. Given the doctor didn't actually DO anything and all I did was take a couple of the migraine pills she prescribed for me, I am not sure why I'm feeling better. The constant nausea is gone, as are the headaches. I am not paranoid to eat, though I'm certainly avoiding foods that I know will cause a problem. It's a nice feeling to not have to plan my day around feeling sick starting about 2 pm and getting worse from there. Yipee! And just in time for Mexico next week!

I'm still trying very hard to watch my added sugar intake, but that's a tough one for me. Very tough. I had a few weeks there where I wasn't having any added sugar, but lately I've been having major chocolate cravings again. I think since I've virtually abandoned added sugar consumption via things like Starbursts, Fruit Roll-ups, etc, I've just shifted to other sugar ... like chocolate. Right now I'm obsessed with Ghiradelli dark chocolate squares with white mint.

Curtains to replace closet doors
I hate traditional closet doors. Always have. They're inefficient and hog up space and are frustrating. But when they're closed, they look good. On the other hand, I have also never particularly liked curtains in place of closet doors. Yet this is what I'm considering for Avery's room. Her closet door is behind her room door. It's awkward and has bothered me for 4 years.

I looked at a bunch of closets with curtains instead of doors on Pinterest. Observations:

• The ones that look best, imho, are those where the curtain is hung on the outside of the closet vs. on the inside. This is good for me since I want them on the outside because I want to be able to access the whole closet when they're pulled open. 
• While I like the idea of a fabric with a bold pattern for the curtains, the ones with bold patterns don't look as neat as plain curtains. However, the ones with a bold stripe here and there look best. Basically, to meet my taste, the curtains need to have a certain tailored look without being formal. 
• The fabric needs to have a bit of heft to it. Otherwise, to me, it looks half way done, like you hung up a sheet as a temporary measure. 
• I hate, hate, hate curtains that touch the floor. Very few of the examples of closet curtains do this, but I my hatred of this look is so intense that I must note it. We had custom made curtains at our house in Denver that touched the floor. I was THRILLED when the buyers of the our house wanted the curtains included in the sale of the house. 

Normally I love this woman's decorating decisions, but not the  floor length curtains.
