Soon after my last post I got sick. REALLY sick. It was a flu thing, I guess, hit me like a ton of bricks. I felt sleepy and took a nap one afternoon. Woke up and it was dark out, I had a fever high enough that my body was trembling so badly I needed help to walk. And I had nausea - awful nausea! Which, because of my "wrap" was so much worse than nausea in pre-wrap days since vomiting is now impossible and wretching is excruciating. And a headache like I hadn't experienced since my last migraine (in 1990)...pain from head to toe. I was literally asking God to take me Home...

I gradually got better, but it took 3 weeks. A strange thing happened while I was so sick though: I lost interest in the things that I always had enjoyed - or even done but didn't enjoy - before. Playing my keyboard. Playing with my parrots. Church activities. Cooking.  Blogging...

A couple of weeks ago I decided to force myself to not only do these things, but enjoy them. Enjoyment truly is a state of mind, and of course we have the choice to enjoy or not to enjoy the things we do. But it's hard work...

Will I keep blogging regularly? I don't know. Will I stop blogging altogether? No. Doing it now, I am enjoying it. If you follow my blog, just don't expect posts every day, I guess. You have been warned. :)

(Oh, and my grocery receipts? Yeah, I have been obsessively saving them all since March...I have a BIG stack of them here. Big enough that I'm not going to detail them all, but I will catch up. Maybe today, definitely by tomorrow. So I can start June already up-to-date!)
