Alright, alright. I’ll post! I’ll post!

October 6, 2005

So, I am feeling better—not 100%, but significantly better than I was. Thank you all for your prayers, thoughts & well wishes as well as all your suggestions to deal with the nausea. Nothing worked. I just ate alot. Nothing sounded good, of course, but for some reason I figured that as long as something was going down, it was unlikely something would come up at the same time. I ain’t got much to show for it but a few extra pounds around the middle. But hey, I gained 40 pounds each time I was pregnant before so why should this time be different? I was running a fair amount each week before I got sick and I had such outstanding intentions to continue to walk a little each day to minimize the weight explosion. Yeah, OK, whatever. My other problem was that I could never eat the same thing twice and cooking was enough to make me scratch my eyeballs out, so we ate out A LOT. The kids thought they died and went to heaven. We don’t eat out much due to our very wise spending choices (OK not really, we just don’t have the money) but the little extra I’ve gotten from my childcare profession (read: I babysit the little girl across the street a few hours a week) came in handy.

AAAAnyway, I do believe we’ve come out of the woods. Now hopefully the budget and my “middle” (what’s left of it anyway) will benefit. That will be hard though, because I’ve developed some very bad habits. (That’s funny. I say that as if bad habits are so unusual for me.) In fact, the other day I ate nearly an entire bag of wannabe Cheetos in the course of 36 hours or so. And let me tell you people, they were GOOD. Every last one of those puffy, chemical-laden, “Made with Real Cheese!” little morsels of unhealthy goodness. And another thing, I had no idea how CHEAP generic junk food can be. That entire bag of fake Cheetos was exactly $1. ONE BUCK! What a steal. It’s like the whole world is opening up to me.
