When you are ill, oatmeal is a good choice no matter the day. My trainer calls oatmeal the 'best' of the carbs...plus it is bland which is good for an upset belly.
Oh no! Not again, Wii! I hope this time you recover quickly.

Thanks SFO, Bobbi, and Being Me! It's been a tough year! Last year in June I was struck down with that never ending virus that took 3.5 months to get rid of. The result of which was apparently a case of Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome, which took six months before I got that diagnosed. In that six months and up until now there were endless crisis one after another: best friends wife left him, next best friend on verge of a breakdown, another friend diagnosed with a brain tumor (passed away recently), D16 decides it's a great time to start having sex (since stopped, to my knowledge anyway), brother loses his job, Christmas stress, car accident, then the old blood in the urine (no problems since anti-biotics. I haven't heard from the doctor since the tests...that's good!), mother falls and has a concussion (fine now) and my work is a mad house! Oh, and a few weeks ago my brother told me his marriage is on the rocks and another good friend told me last week that his W is talking about hitting the bricks too. Otherwise, it's been a pretty healthy and dull year and I can't complain.
Btw, the above are just the ones I can remember off the top of my head! I've probably missed a couple somewhere in there...but I think we can all live without hearing any more...I know I can. So, enough bitching, on with the show!
Hey, I just remembered the one I forgot! In Novemeber STBX's mother needed emergency heart surgery and STBX flew off to China for 2.5 weeks while I looked after the kids and, naturally, battled the stomach flu. (mother in law came through fine!) Ah, all these memories...the year after I separated was a picnic compared to this last year! Am I bitching again? Too bad, it's my thread and I'll bitch if I want to...that would make a great line for a song, don't you think? But, just so you don't think I'm all negative tonight, I've been selected to lead our staff seminars on Stress Management! Lucky me (basically, the managers are scared to do it, so they asked me!) Well, I gotta run(s)
I knew somebody would get it! Today, I am exhausted. I slept almost 11 hours last night and today still feel pretty wacked out. I was hoping I'd have the energy to go to our church service tonight but I don't know whether that's going to happen, we'll see. I also don't want to spread anything either, so I may just stay home. I have a habit of rushing off the second I start to feel a bit of energy but, maybe luckily, I don't feel any yet. But it's so damn boring here! I did watch Sahara this afternoon, which was on TV and I've never seen it. I have the kids but one is out and the other is quite content to sit around doing nothing. So, the night is young and who knows what exciting adventures await Whatis...will he be awake past nine o'clock? Stay tuned for the exciting finish of Whatis's Sicko Weekend (it's a National Lampoon flick). I'd type more but my fingers are tired now. Btw, the first year of separation wasn't that hot either, come to think of it. My Dad had cancer and was on chemo and my workplace burnt down.
Last night just before I went to bed, I picked up a book from my bookshelf and opened it randomly and this is what I read:
"I am gradually learning that the call to gratitude asks us to say, "Everything is grace". As long as we remain resentful about things we wish had not happened, about relationships that we wish had turned out differently, mistakes we wish we had not made, part of our heart remains isolated, unable to bear fruit in the new life ahead of us. It is a way we hold part of ourselves apart from God"
Hmm, I just thought I'd drop my bitching (for the moment) and share that.
