The second

Whew! It has been a rough week for the ol' clan. First Shealyn got sick, then Shelden, then Laurel, then Logan, then Susie, then Patrick, then Marc... Basic symptoms of up-chucking, intestinal distress, aching joints, fever, and milasse. Not everyone got every symptom but we each got enough to lay us low for a couple days. There is only one good thing I can think of to say about vomiting, diahrhea, and not eating for days. You lose weight! Three pounds in three days for me. Now you ask, why should I even be thinking of that? Hey, I'll take it wherever I can get it. That's pathetic but true. I don't want to get on this subject really but whenever a drug company comes up with a safe pill to take to get one's weight down to a tolerable level and still allow eating and drinking, I will be there to take it. I admit it. I like to eat; I like to drink; and lately I have had trouble keeping to a regular exercise routine because of the move, the wedding, the honeymoon, and then the plantar faciatis. Hey, that's another good thing that has happened since I got sick on Saturday! I've had to lay around and stay off my foot and it feels alot better. Maybe by next week I can start walking again. I got a new pair of running shoes with Marc's and La Foot's help and am anxious to try them out. Anyway, back to the weight thing...The only time I didn't struggle with weight was when I taught aerobics and did an average of nine classes a week. Now that's alot of calories burned. I'd have to guess that was an average of 3000 calories a week burned exercising. Wish I could do that again.
As you can tell I gave up the idea of no punctuation and no caps. It was too much effort on both sides of the blog, I'm sure. Erin has suggested that I consciously make an effort to write fairly often to get into the habit of it and I think she's right. It takes a little time but I am finding it fun to just have a stream of consciousness going and I feel like I'm actually talking to those of you who take the time to read it.
So, enough for now. I'm feeling ever so much better and ready to add back those three pounds at Thanksgiving Dinner at Chris and Alexis'.
Happy Thanksgiving to All and think peace. Boy, what a concept! A peaceful mind could bring a peaceful home, a peaceful city, a peaceful state, country, world. Oh, if it was only that simple!
