Hope you're better today, listener. NOBODY does vomiting well; about the last thing anyone wants is expressions of sympathy or interest while praying to the toilet...

It seems Obama is trying to rein in threats to Iran, after (IMO) having encouraged them:
One of the other dangerous games Obama seems to be playing is attempting to hold onto the Hispanic vote while carrying out incredibly draconian anti-immigrant enforcement actions. I expect a lot of potential Democratic voters will sit out this Presidential election, and Obama's gains among right-wingers will be trivial. Oh, well.
Knee continues to improve. Gotta start doing tax returns today.
Alan..."praying to the toilet" says it. :-D That really made me laugh! Thanks! I'm stable and not eating much of anything until I feel truly hungry again. I've had only spring water and a few bites of plain yogurt.
The illness came on suddenly, but I really should have expected it. After all, dinner included tomato sauce, and for the first time since I can remember ALL my jammies were in the laundry chute.

I just realised that one town that was hit is where a friend of mine moved to last Summer. I don't have her phone number. Will try to write...but what must the postal service be like right now?
Beautiful warm day here, but I am forbidden to work in the yard yet. I managed to surreptitiously get started changing the fluorescent bulbs in one of the kitchen fixtures--got far enough along that I could do most all of the job.
Finished Richard Harding Davis' In The Fog. A dandy read, good fun all around. Four stars, I should say.

The panoramic photo (click on it to enlarge it) shows the left two-thirds of Mount Mansfield, with some lower hills to the right in the foreground. The photo with the towers shows the right one-third of Mount Mansfield. That latter is hidden from view in the panoramic. We can see the whole mountain from here, though.
After a "regular" winter, today would have felt warm -- it was over freezing. After the winter we've just had, the overwhelming sense is that it's been bitterly cold. Snowed for a while, but left just a dusting, a skiff, a skosh. I *want* being cold to be over, to be done with, to be in the past!
Sounds like you're healing a bit, listener. Keep it up.
Dang! They just changed the chance of snow tomorrow from 20% to 70%. . . . Normally no big deal -- an inch sticking, maybe -- but I wasn''t much wanting to drive in a snow storm without wipers. Guess I'll have to make sure the car is well heated up before I leave, and just melt it off as it falls. . . .
Well, *not* tomorrow, but a week from tomorrow, it's supposed to be 75ยบ!!!
I just went back to Atkins, and am in ketosis. I've been off of diuretics for two days now, and my legs look better tonight than they have at *any time* in the past two months while I've been *ON* diuretics. . . . This time, following my favorite cardiologist's recommendations, I am also wheat (and corn and soy) free. http://www.wheatbellyblog.com/ (Yep, there ARE low carb wheat products -- my favorite waffle mix for one, dang it.

ReplyDeleteStomach bugs are last.
That they are. Both "theys."

It's a dangerous game.

listener--in the photos at the top of this thread--why the big towers on top in the larger photo, but not the smaller?

ReplyDeleteOn the mend here.
ReplyDeleteIt's snowing here overnight...expecting 2-4"
Son and DIL made it home from NYC okay, even though his car was having coolant issues.
Dang! All the ill fortune I'm reading on here reminds me of a sign I saw recently:
ReplyDelete"We are born wet, naked and crying.
And then it gets worse."

So true. Nausea is part of the "worse."
ReplyDeleteCompensations in life include love, gentleness, kindness, and laughter,
and these are to be cultivated for the sake of balance.
Good work, puddle!
ReplyDeleteSo here I am 24 hours later.
ReplyDeleteI'm much improved, but not 100% yet.
The hard part is that because my stomach feels just a little uneasy
it feels as though I ought to eat something.
But I have eaten today and that odd feeling doesn't abate.
Idears?
