DH found a GE washer repairman for our washer. DH was fiddling with the washer this a.m., it did a quick rinse, without the screen display saying: PLEASE CLOSE LID! and beeping! However, he tried it again and again, and it did that warning and beeping again. The repairman comes between 10 a.m. - noon tomorrow/Fri. 28th. I cleaned the utility room counters, swept, and worked so hard!
Then I dusted the great room, dining room, kitchen sills and eating bar shelves, the entry way and worked ONE HOUR!
Now my muscles feel so worked on, as though I've had a massage head to toe by Fabio!
I rested after lunch and feel good today, too.
I guess the dairy thing was my problem. I had no yogurt for breakfast, no cheese sticks for snacks, and feel so NORMAL!
I went on a lactose-free diet years ago, lost weight in about 5 months down to a normal level, too, and felt better.
DH got Pedialyte, Rice Milk, some fluids with glucose in them, a B-Complex Vitamin, and other things. So if the IBS returns with a vengeance, I'll be prepared for the 24-hours fluids diet. After that, it's the BRAT diet, but today I'm so OK!
I scrambled 2 eggs with some ground course sea salt in them, which help my particular electrolyte problem, (Low blood sodium) and 1 slice toast with margarine. It agreed with me, so unlike the yogurt breakfasts. I'm so happy!
DH said he'll eat the last 3 yogurts and the cheese sticks, too. I have PB, mini bagels, rice cakes, and there may be English muffins on hand.
My weight was down, but like DH said, I was depleted, weak, and lost from being so ill.
I felt good today, to get housework done.
Last night, I did a "Google" search on myself, which showed a contest short story win I had on-line last year.
Then, later, I went to a pen pal site, where a woman posted she'd been looking for me. I put a message into the lady who runs the site, with my info, but only my email address, not full snail mail address. She emailed me back how my old pen pal lost me in March of 2009, the P. O. mark was over my return address label, and she's always wondered whatever happened to me. I got her email address, emailed her a friendly email and am awaiting a reply.
Then, today the crochet magazine came with a letter in it they'd printed from a lady looking for an afghan, which folds into a pillow. I HAVE a pattern for that! SHE ALSO said she wanted new pen pals, too, I think she said she was 60 and I'm 62, so that will work out fine, too.
And then, another pal of mine, I'd not heard from for about 2 months wrote! She's fallen at work in Dec., broke her right wrist, her left upper arm, had surgery on the wrist, was in rehab for several weeks, couldn't write, and now she CAN write! She's working on knitting with both hands so she uses both arms/hands, too. I'd sent her a Christmas card and Jan. b-day card, but felt I shouldn't hound her with a lot of snail mail, in case "something serious" was going on, which it WAS!
I'm thrilled she wrote today. She's such a lovely person, too. Her brother's driving her places, since she can't drive yet, so she can do errands. Isn't he sweet? She's a single lady, a widow, with step-children, and she's recently retired, too. I'm so glad that she's okay now.
I need to figure out with DH something that's non-dairy for dinner tonight. Or we'll do separate dinners for each other.
I need to dust/dust mop the bedroom, he's vacuuming the gr8 rm/dining/entry now. It's nice the washer man is coming. The house will look so nice before the weekend!
OKay, sorry you had a LONG wait at the S. S. waiting room! Goodness! It's frustrating to go through a long wait, because you can leave!
You're just "stuck" there waiting.
Helia, You sound so busy! You must be about 20 years younger than me with a lot of energy!
Dee, We have Spooner's Farms strawberries here in the Puget Sound Region of the Pacific NW that we LOVE! The community goes absolutely NUTSO about them when they're ripe and their stands are out and they're at the Farmer's Market, too. ♥
Kathryn, I hope you get a good and fair property assessment, too!
Waving hello to
MT, Harriet, Nancy, Sadie, Lucy, CathyS, Booksaver, and
Harmony , too. Sorry this got so long!
