Ta Da! I got to leave work after 3 1/2 hours. There's been light snow off and on all day, but so far the roads remain passable.
WindSparrow, how are you feeling?
My throat is all better. I'm hoping to avoid a repeat of a couple of years ago, when I had the same thing every month for 5 months. Thinking about it is a little panic-making.
I'm sorry to hear that you are getting itchy again, smonster. How is your sister? Holding steady for now?
It would be great if your almost-ex-roommie joined us.
Ginger, I trust you were able to collect Mr. Peabody and get on the road. Also, safe driving.
Pix, sorry to hear about the drama.
Spidra, I hope you get some peace for your gut as well as for your higher functions.
omnis, feel free to bring anything that won't make dishes, J's family leaves for skiing early tomorrow. I'm bringing green olive tapenade on toast points. I think MK is bringing pie.
All y'all heartburn people, try eating yogurt. My digestion has been so much better since I eat it most days.
Thanks, WS.
Thanks, Erika. In my case, it's a mechanical issue rather than a content of my diet issue. As soon as I lose the weight, the majority of symptoms will go away. However, live culture yogurt is a great thing in and of itself.
Just had my first meal of the day - onion soup.
Took a bike ride to pick up a bunch of diet soda for my mom. The boxboy did a double take when he saw me load 5 12-packs of soda on my Xtracycle. I love freaking out supermarket people that way. On the bad side, the supermarket STILL doesn't have a bike rack. Thisiswhyyourefat.com should include pictures of businesses with no bike racks, towns with broad car lanes but no bike lanes nor sidewalks.
Continued good wishes for all of those with medical issues, holiday family stress, travel stress, etc. I hope those who celebrate this holiday have a good 'un!
I was just trying to eat more calcium...the digestive relief is a great side benefit.
I need to start my probiotic again. It really did help.
I'm kinda regretting that "Serious Chocolate" crumb cake I did not buy at the grocery store today.
WindSparrow, hope your issues are gone for good.
Sis is hanging in there, and says thanks for the good thoughts.
I finally made it to the homestead, after a longer than expected pit stop at my beloved indie video store that is finally giving in to the inevitable. So long and thanks for all the fish, Visart.
Now for drinks, snacks, and children's Christmas stories.
