I usually love this time of year. Well, actually, I love the food. But not this year. This year all my favorites are off limits (sniffle…pumpkin pie…boohooohooo). I have learned that it’s really not worth it to feel that badly over food. But still, I would like to be able to eat something at Thanksgiving dinner. But I am not holding my breath. Have to go eat at the Hubby’s family and I would never ask them to change anything about how they cook just for me. But still, I figure it’s going to be rather boring to sit there and watch everyone eat. Luckily the kid needs help staying distracted so I’ll hang out with him. How do you handle going to places for things like this? I have no idea what I am going to tell my host when I am the only one sitting at the table without a plate in front of me. They really don’t know about IBS and all that comes with it. Hubby’s immediate family is used to me not being able to eat anything, but the extended family is not. Fun! Fun! Fun!
(side note: Have I already bitched about this?? I get the feeling I’ve already said this lately. sorry if I am repeating myself. it just really sucks. It doesn’t help that I have to work the day after Thanksgiving and won’t get to go shopping.)
Anyway, enough complaining.
Happy note: I am cooking a Thanksgiving meal this weekend. Yummy! I can’t wait. I am trying to decide what to do with the left overs (I bought a relatively small bird this year, I’ll have to plan carefully to use the left overs! haha). mmmmm…. I’m starving now just thinking about it! 
so last night was a repeat of Nov 4th. Not good. I am still in a lot of pain this morning. Really not good. I have to go to work because I am working on a big project that has to be done this week. I would rather stay home and sleep.
I really thought it had been longer since that episode Nov 4th episode.
I think it’s time to call the doctor.
Maybe if I write this down I will remember it:
DON’T EAT PASTA SAUCE! Not even a little bit. Stay away!
How do I manage to forget that pasta sauce gives me stomach aches???? I must block it out because I keep trying it (by that I mean I have some every few weeks, when just enough time passes for my brain to block out how I feel after I eat it). I try not to put to much sauce on, because really, plain pasta is gross. But I guess I put too much on last night. I used to live on pasta, it was a pretty large part of my diet in college (I would eat it with butter salt and pepper and nothing else), but not anymore. So I need to find someway to cook pasta so that the Kid and the Hubby will eat it too. Any ideas?
That’s me! Farts that smell like a skunk.
That is just SO FREAKING ATTRACTIVE huh?
It’s so much fun being me.
I don’t know about you, but my routine is pretty strictly timed with medicine and food at specific times of day. If I follow the schedule, I seem to do ok. If I don’t follow it, woe is me.
So, of course, when things like daylight savings time comes along, it gets me all messed up!
It’s amazing how much trouble an hour can cause.
I’m waking up too early and I am ready for bed way before I can actually go to bed, so I am not getting enough sleep. My stomach that is used to eating at noon wants lunch at 11. And the Bentyl police in my system want my meds earlier than I want to take them. blah. It’s all made for an interesting couple days.
Am I the only one that gets all messed up?
I was.
Unfortunately.
Up and in a lot of pain. A LOT. First in my stomach then my intestines. So much pain that I was starting to wonder if I had my doctor’s phone number on speed dial. It was not fun. I had to wake the poor husband up so he could help me (get a drink, get some Bentyl, a different shirt because I was too hot, get the bucket because I was so nauseated I was sure I was going to start vomiting. You know, fun stuff like that that husbands do for their poor wives in the middle of the night. It’s a good thing they don’t read the fine print on the marriage license).
ugh.
So today I have been sitting on the couch and not doing much else. Trying to eat things to “calm” the raging beast within. Watching too much television and staring at the computer too much. I hope your weekend went better than mine!
Since I spend so much time in the bathroom, things like this tend to catch my eye:
“World Toilet Summit gets down to business “
I don’t like Halloween. Well, maybe I should say I don’t like all the candy. There are little bit size chocolate bars all over the place! In all the stores, everywhere I look! AHHHHH! My willpower has been having quite a work out the last couple of days. I want chocolate. Thank goodness it’s November. I can start looking forward to Thanksgiving. mmmm…. turkey…
