The sun is shining and my spirit so much wants to be outside, perhaps working in the garden at LM's, walking or just birdwatching, but my body is not cooperating. Since the colonoscopy on Wednesday, I've not come back to myself and today has been spent curled up in bed with Ms G.
Realizing I had not eaten more than a very small bowl of rice krispies early on in the day, I got myself out to buy a few groceries at 3:30. By the time I returned, I was in a cold sweat. Not sure what is happening, but this condition only has until tomorrow to disappear. In one hour I have to get myself back over to my dog sitting post and settle in there for the evening. Sad not to be with LM. He is checking on me regularly.
Feeling this way taps into my grief and it makes for some very sad thoughts.
Hopefully, you are all enjoying this spate of sun. Rain again tomorrow.
A random question to my readers....my mother used to make the most delicious cake with crushed graham crackers. Have any of you ever heard of such a recipe?? In missing my mother today (always happen when I am not feeling well), her graham cracker cake came to mind...in her last years, I collected many of her wonderful recipes, but that one escaped.

Gee, I can't imagine you are feeling puny. I've never known anyone to feel bad afterwards. Perhaps it's something else. Maybe your just hungry? or maybe not....At any rate, I do hope you feel better by tomorrow. I have never heard of a graham cracker cake sorry to say - I hope someone does and we can all share it!!...debbie
I am so sorry. I think something else is going on with your body.
Good Well wishes are being sent your way.
