Sorry for the disappearing act

Hey everyone,
I know I've been off the boards the last couple of weeks, especially my beloved living room. I've had a busy couple of weeks. I sublet my apartment a couple of weeks ago, and have been all over NY, NJ, MA, and PA. My tummy has not enjoyed the traveling at all, and I had my most severe D episode in recent history -- at my boyfriend's parents' house! Let's just say it's a good thing they have a bathroom on the 3rd floor!
The good news is my tummy is starting to settle down again. My acacia finally arrived and I've been adjusting to that. My SOYFEE showed up and I LOVE it. It's amazing. Order some ( www.soycoffee.com ). And also my IBS 100 CDs showed up, and I will start them as soon as I get on a routine.
I am leaving for London on Sunday (sooner if I can get an earlier flight)! I am really excited to spend the summer there, but also super anxious about living in the dorms, sharing a bathroom, not being able to cook for myself, and living in the same city as my boyfriend for the first time ever. It's kind of a lot to deal with all at once. Everyone assumes I am anxious about getting used to a new city and all that, but after living in Spain for 6 months and Manhattan for 10, I think I can pretty much handle anything. Mostly I'm just hoping my tummy will behave, and that my boyfriend and I will still enjoy each other's company after being together every day for 7 weeks.
I worked out today and got an incredible massage, the kind where they really dig into your muscles, so I am feeling a little less tense. Too bad I decided to get on the scale afterwards, especially during PMS. I saw a pretty unfamiliar number and was not happy. Hopefully I'll shed it this summer. 
Unfortunately my dinner plans were spoiled when my best friend (who I never see) insisted on bringing along her annoying boyfriend, even though she's been cheating on him for a month. Man did I feel awkward! He also makes fun of my food restrictions, which you know really makes me feel good.
On the upside, I've been at home keeping my dad company while my mom is in Miami helping my grandmother move. My dad and I never have this much one-on-one time, and we are getting along really well. Last night I made him an amazing dinner as an early fathers' day present -- duck with a delicious sauce (don't worry, I ate salmon!).
Okay really I know nobody is this interested in what is going on in my life, but I feel bad for being so out of touch. I've been reading the boards while staying at everyone else's house, but I haven't had time to sit down and give everyone an update. I don't think I'll have too much internet access this summer, but I'll read and post when I can!
I hope you are all having happy tummies!
Spicey -- How's it going, living with the 'rents and doing the long-distance thing?
UnhappyTummy -- I'm glad you are leaving the pub, but I guess that means I can't swing by for a beer (or an iced tea, in our case) this summer.
Bevrs -- You are crazy not to like the Dark Roast. It's the best. Send me your leftovers!
Everyone else -- I hope all is well!!!!
 Love, Panda
