Meditatively Obtained, Novel, and Observational (MONO) Lessons
300. Some places are just not worth spending the time, energy, and money to eat (particularly gluten-free) at. I apologize for ending that sentence with a preposition.
301. It’s hard enough for me without the perpetual snide comments.
302. Mood changes can be sudden and unannounced with an obviously noticeable shift as well as sudden and announced with no detectable actual change.
303. Flash drives can never be solely trusted.
304. I feel extremely gratified when my re-petition is approved and I got everything I wanted in the first place.
305. Pride will forever be a gluten-free food that I will be swallowing regularly.
306. I can even survive 8+ vials of blood being taken from my arm!
307. It’s really weird knowing more than your own doctor…you know…the one who knows everything.
308. Back on May 3, 2010, I realized I was in limerence with her. That’s what happened! You can be in limerence with the “wrong” gender. Now I finally have a name for it!
309. These foods, oddly, have gluten in them:
a. Soy Sauce
b. Teriyaki Sauce
c. Blue Cheese
d. Marinades and Seasonings

f. Malt (malt anything comes from barley)
g. Caramel Flavor
h. Caramel Color (but usually not any more)
i. Roasted/Glazed/Candied Nuts
j. Vitamins
k. Gravy
l. Oats…kind of…but not really. They are all too often contaminated with gluten, but don’t possess any of their own gluten. This is always a wonderful conversation starter. (See Lesson 274)
m. Tofu. Wha?! I know, right? Stupid wheat fillers. (As a side note, Kofu is 99.999% pure gluten. Note to self: Definitely avoid Kofu.)
n. Licorice
o. Imitation seafood, like imitation crab310. These foods are shockingly gluten-free
a. Buckwheat
b. Glutinous rice
c. Corn gluten
d. Wheat grass
e. Fruity Pebbles – For some odd reason I assumed they were gluteny…
f. Rumbi’s chicken. I swear to you, everyone else’s chicken is marinated in gluten!311. My potassium STILL isn’t as high as I was hoping. What the crap?!? No wonder my heart still has episodes.
312. It’s nice to be on the same page this time around. Thanks for giving me a break this time around, universe.
313. “Don’t look for Mr. Right, be Mr. Right and the rest will fall into place.” – MB
314. As usual, summer brings people out of the woodwork.
315. Scalp Oil + Shower Cap + Big Gun Acne Spot Treatment + Extra Lotion Around Lips = Jason Looks Like a Freaking Monster at Bedtime
316. I now have empathy for people with scalp issues ranging from mild dandruff to full-fledged scalp psoriasis.
317. Writing and mailing letters to people is really rather fun.
318. Sometimes I go WAY too long without writing mono lessons. They then get backed up (constipated, if you will) in my brain and then finally spill out all over the place.
319. A lot can change in a year. Namely feelings. Stupid fickle feelings.
320. Oddly, confusion is sometimes rather peaceful. Wha?
