much better, thanks

I spent the entire day sick....sick....sick yesterday, I am MUCH better today. My tummy has deflated about 1/2 way and will be "normal" soon. This is a chronic condition, so I am used to it.






I was able to go to the gym this morning, thank goodness. Exercise is very good for me belly. I am in the studio working on new grubs for the rest of the day today. I will make chicken pot pie for Chris and Will this evening. I am making a big spinach salad with kiwi and strawberries for moi (and anyone else who would like it) Oh, yes, I have some left over salmon I can heat up as well.


Tomorrow morning Ma, Grandma (she is doing great), Pops, and myself are going to high tail it to Mohegan Sun casino in Indian country Connecticut. I have a bit of money put aside to feed to the black jack tables. Grandma fits every stereotype around about older female gamblers..... she will be perched at a slot machine playing 8 cents a hand pushing buttons and drinking her red wine. Pops is somewhat of a mystery. He floats around, has a few beers, plays a hand or two, sit down for awhile in front of a wide screen TV ans watch whatever game is on, float around some more etc etc. Ma and I find a yummy black jack table, sit our big buns down and play. period. Ma drinks red wine and I have coffee or water. Ma and I yell when we play black jack. We know all the lingo, it is a blast. Ma is precious.

Hi Care1 You would be a hoot at a black jack table, I am sure of it!

Hi Amy, it's a heck of a thing. I have tried many different meds`diets`remedies. Some things help a bit.

Hey lisa~ have you ever been tested for allergies.. wheat, gluten...?? my friend was having similiar issues and finally went to a naturopathic dr. and was tested for allergies. turns out she is allergic to gluten and dairy.. just thought I would throw that out there.. seems that dr are so willing to diagnose things which I think can be diet related... just my opinion...please don't take offense.

Carolyn can hang with you all at the black jack table...I think I'd be wandering with your pops somewhere....kinda browsing around...people watching. :)

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE!

So glad you are feeling better, Tummy trouble is the worst, I've been tested for all sorts of things, but they still don't know why I blow up sometimes.
-hope you win some big bucks!

Sherice ~ It's not an allergy, I thought it may have been a reaction to dairy etc long ago, it turns out it's not.

So glad you are feeling better; have a great time with the family...I love casinos...we have a brand new one just inside the OK border. We went a couple of weeks ago...very nice, but no winnings. Hope you win big bucks!

Lisa, I'm glad you're feeling better & I agree with Jaim, Lulu looks like a little toy herself. I hope you have fun with your family. Your dinner sounds great...I love a good salad.

Happy to hear you're feeling better. So strange what happen to your tummy. Have you ever try detoxing? You can get a kit for detox at a health food store. I heard they can help a lot.

Have fun at the Blackjack tables and when LOTS! :)
