I was exhausted last night but couldn't fall asleep at first. I thought it was because I had spent so much time sleeping the previous three days but I did fall asleep, finally. I slept well until early this morning when I suddenly woke up to THAT feeling again. Yes, you got it! Another episode of IBS. Not quite as bad as the previous one but still unexpected since I had felt so good the day before. After a bit of time, I knew I was not going to be making the trip over to the Princess' house for our dinner. I called her and told her and had the Beast bring over the food I had made. I did ask her to send over some food for us later (which she did via Tara). I had to laugh at Chance, who was so cute and gave me a big hug. He was in a great mood. He was in no hurry to get home, either.
I know I had to have looked awful because Tara said I looked both pale and kind of grey. She has no clue what IBS is and I really couldn't go into it with her just then but I did manage to eat some of the great food. The Princess has turned into a great cook. She made a banana pudding that was incredible! Her turkey was moist and tasty. We had green bean casserole, some dinner rolls and even a slice of pecan pie that Johnnycakes dad had made. The mashed potatoes were great but I missed having some gravy for it. Oh well! Beggars can't be choosers....LOL!
I found out that Sheepie and Teach didn't make it either because Sheepie was sick. I don't doubt it after working for 12 hours straight on Black Friday! But she sent over the green bean casserole for everyone. That was sweet of her. Two of us down sick. Sad.
Tara stayed for a while and brought us up to speed on what's going on with her kids and her ex's. She said she knew she was a bad niece and needed to come and visit us more often. I just laughed and agreed with her. I know she's busy. It's tough working and managing a household. I remember. I also remember how much help my sister, Cee, was back then and don't know if she ever knew just how grateful I was. Cee is Tara's mother.
Anyway, she said everyone at the Princess' ate well and enjoyed themselves. I'm so glad they did. I just went out to get myself some tea and discovered the Beast had put away the food before he went to bed. He always goes to bed early on Saturday night due to church tomorrow for him. But too often, I find the food out when I get up to get some coffee, tea or ice water, even if he says he will do that.
How are I feeling? Much better but that doesn't seem to mean much and I won't trust it until/unless I wake up normally in the morning. All I can do is wait and see and hope.
Weatherbug is saying warmer weather tomorrow. Since it's almost midnight and it's still 54 degrees out, I would have to agree with that forecast. Sure hope other areas of the country get some of this but I see more arctic air coming down to plague the mid-section of the country. Brrr.
Love you all. Please keep warm and dry and drive carefully. ***Hugs***
