On the mend

I am back on solid food! Life is good! I can't believe how wonderful a bowl of bran flakes tastes (please humor me, I'm old you know).

The good news is I am down 8 pounds since Sunday, the bad news is I probably just gained it all back by eating afore-mentioned bowl of bran cereal.

The way I've got it figured I'm just 3 or 4 bouts of the flu away from my idea weight.

Thank you all for your loving comments in the last several days. They saw me through some dark times and I love you all.

Have a fantastic weekend, my dears. Be well and hug the ones you love close.

Did anyone get the license plate number of the truck that hit me?

I've had many nice comments and a few concerned emails in the last couple of days, and now that I'm able to lift my head, I thought I'd update you. I don't have anything deadly or life-threatening, just a case of the summer-time flu (which I can assure you sounds a lot more glamorous than it is).

For the last several days I've not been able to keep anything down, including water, but today I had a breakthrough! Not only was I able to drink water, but I ate a peppermint lifesaver too! Woohoo, I'm so on the mend.

In better news, my diet effort is going better than ever. Another month or two of this and I'll look like I did in high school!

Hugs to all my favorite people (from afar so's I don't infect you).
