Needed: Barf bucket

I got the barfies . . and not the good kind either.

OK, really, I just threw up majorly this morning, but now my stomach feels like a wreck. I had to go to work cause I had 4 visits, and not really other times I could reschedule them for. All day I just prayed for bathrooms to appear when I needed them.

I have a meeting tomorrow that I rescheduled because I didn't feel good-that was the coming off of the carb high day. Sheesh-

I thought this new diet thing was supposed to make me feel better.

Oh well. I lost 6.1 lbs this week.

That'll do pig, that'll do.

How we gonna pay ..

Guess who's going to see RENT tomorrow??? OK, give up??

I am!!! I am very excited. RHB got me tickets for my birthday and she and I will going into town tomorrow and see it at the Academy of Music. I have seen this show 7 times now I think (3 times with RHB), and each time I walk away with a new appreciation for life, the challenges if it, and the wonder and magic of friends and loved ones.

If you have never seen it, you should. I also have the movie and that was a pretty good adaptation of the play, and even starred most of the original Broadway cast.

Things here are going well. I think I am beyond the withdrawal of carbs and sugar, and I am now feeling really good. We had a fabulous dinner tonight of Alice Springs Chicken and caesar salad from Outback. That place is great for low carbing. We went for a walk yesterday in the cemetery and then we went and visited a local dog park to check it out-you know you can never be too prepared! There were a ton of dogs and we are just longing for the day we have a woofy to bring there and play. I thought it was funny-throughout the park they have scoopers and signs that have funny little sayings on them about picking up poop and such. Oh I simply cannot wait!!

We also recently saw the Great Debaters. It was a fabulous movie and I highly recommend it. I also really like Denzel Washington and have seen most of his movies.



OK, off to bed. I have 3 home visits tomorrow before going to pick up RHB for our date!!!

Hope all is well-Hi to the new visitors here--Tom and Lynilu!! Nice to have some new-and increased readership. Hang on, and enjoy the ride!

Word of God

What a few days it has been. I am seriously detoxing from the crap I have been filling myself with. Yesterday I was just hungry, and today I just felt nauseous most of the day. Amazing I would choose to eat things that make me feel this bad when I don't have them. You would think I would learn.

I had to curb my water intake this morning as well, since I am on the road visiting with families I cannot just pee when I want. Luckily the first visit I went to had a bathroom I felt ok using. My second family wasn't there when I showed up, and so I went to the third one a bit earlier. I was feeling crummy about my job performance tonight, and then I thought today was probably NOT the best day to evaluate things of such importance.

Instead I just kept listening to this song that I love. Just very comforting to me . . .music is so very comforting to me. I would choose music over anything else-like TV or movies, or anything. I find I connect most to music. These are the lyrics that are comforting to me tonight. May you find something as comfortable when you feel crummy . . .


Word of God Speak

I'm finding myself at a loss for words
And the funny thing is it's okay
The last thing I need is to be heard
But to hear what You would say

Word of God speak
Would You pour down like rain
Washing my eyes to see
Your majesty
To be still and know
That You're in this place
Please let me stay and rest
In Your holiness
Word of God speak

I'm finding myself in the midst of You
Beyond the music, beyond the noise
All that I need is to be with You
And in the quiet hear Your voice

I'm finding myself at a loss for words
And the funny thing is it's okay
