What The Heck?
I’m sorry to say that I had another bad night (IBS) but, this afternoon, the signs were pretty sure that it was over. No more runny bowels (sorry about that visual). But I spent most of the day either on my back or asleep (and there IS a difference there). I clutched my pillow on my tummy like an anchor. Then I passed more gas than anything else and felt great!
At least I was up when Chewlee got here. Good thing because the bus driver wanted to talk to me. Chewlee was telling him that he had to pick her up when she had her sleepover. I guess she was so worried about it that he had to tell her several times to sit down. But he decided that she might actually have been worried about it so he wanted to talk to me. I told him about picking her up on Friday morning and he wrote it down. He told me to look for him about 6:45am and that he had other passengers he picked up here now, too. I was so glad to hear that it was at 6:45am because Chewlee and I would have been outside a long time, waiting for him since he picked her up at 6am for summer school. Now, at least, we can sleep in a bit later.
The Beast is always trying to be helpful and spent some time reading up on diabetes dietary needs. He is now going to use ice, yogurt, apple cider and fresh fruits for my *smoothies*. Honestly, I could choke him although I know he means well. I told him to lay off the grapes because they are too full of sugar and eight of them is the total amount I am allowed IF I eat them. They have quite a *kick* to them as far as sugar is concerned.
I still haven’t made my pork chops and country gravy but I am determined to make them tomorrow. The pork chops look excellent for that. The Beast will use the gravy over some biscuits I will throw in the oven and I will nuke a small potato for mine. I have some fresh green beans that I want to steam but the Beast wants me to boil them since it takes longer to steam them. Once I start supper, his stomach starts growling and he gets UGLY about wanting food. LOL!
I’m really kind of disappointed about having to wait another week for my carpeting but I’ll survive, I guess. No choice there. It also DOES give me a bit more time to find where to put the stuff on and in this desk for when we have to move it. I’m keeping all my medications on the desktop just because it’s much easier to put together the daily pillbox for each week that my sister Bee sent to me. I never realized just HOW MUCH I would appreciate it. Even Chewlee loves it because I let her close the empty holder tops when she gets here every day. She looks for them just about the first thing when she gets here. Actually, it’s the second thing. The first is her pickles..LOL.
I know it was hot here today (although I slept a lot of the day away) because even with my door open and the fan running at it’s highest speed, it felt hot and muggy. The Beast had all four AC window units going and the doors open. He even put the ceiling fans on low to help circulate the air. That’s really HOT when he does that.
Baron wasn’t even sure he wanted to go out for his run although the Beast made him. Otherwise, Baron gets too hyper and doesn’t know what to do with himself. He plopped down on his bed in the bedroom when they got back. The Beast said he kept the pace a lot slower than normally because it was hot. Baron kept on the grass and in the shade most of the time but was glad to see the house when they rounded the corner. He tore ass back to the garage and was waiting for the Beast to park the scooter so he could get into the house.
Gotta go and get this posted. I may be moving my post to blogspot but I will be sure to let you know when that happens. Love you all. Be happy. **Grin**
