I finally fully appreciated the wonders of TCM today; cramps have eased tremendously, so I was about to last an entire day in the office AND go for tuition without needing those pink pills. And this was achieved only after round after round of nagging and persuading by Mum and Jack. But fighting against the remaining crunch wasn't easy; I had to trawl all the way home with my 2.4kg lappie after tuition. Only to find out that there wasn't any dinner at home for me. So I had to make do with leftover soup, bread and a banana. Great start to a low fat diet.
