I slept like a log last night here at Mom's, for the first time in days.  Today, I actually feel okay.  Nothing I've eaten today has bothered me.  I am shocked but delighted by both.  Also, I'm hungry for the first time in the 12 days since this all started.  I'm hesitant to actually *eat* much at any one time in case my system goes straight back ( Read more... )

I'm in one of those extremely rare (for me) moods where I want to blog but want the composition thereof to take less than 10 minutes.  Blogging never takes me that short a period of time unless I stop after 2 sentences.  So, we'll see how far I get before I give it up as a bad job.

Though I'd expected that my four-day weekend would seem extremely busy (and too short) due to all of the things I had planned, it turned out to be very relaxing.

Thursday:

Lise's first words upon seeing my hair were, "Oh!  This isn't as bad as you made it sound!"  Translation:  "I can fix this!"  :-)  And she did.  She cut it in a really cute style ( Read more... )
