Today was a good day with no sign of my IBS. I got my room semi-straightened up and the Beast even threw in a load of clothes for me that needed washing. I threw the last load in this evening but haven't dried it yet. I was reluctant to go out in the main part of the house due to the Beast and his buddy schmoozing.
Looks like we had another problem with someone cloning MY telephone (of course it would be mine the last two times!). We have to find a different carrier. I told the Beast I wanted to do a bit of research and also did NOT believe that they cannot clone a 4G phone. Dennis' phone was a 4G and it was cloned. That was just a way for Verizon to try to get us to buy a new phone and extend our contract, which is up in a couple weeks.
But that is not the mystery that I believe I may have solved. It's what brought on my IBS. I went over each and every thing I had eaten in the days prior to the attack. I also did a bit of research. It was pistachios, which is a shame since I love them. But those are the only out-of-the-ordinary food items that I ate in the days previous. In fact, it was just the evening before the attack hit me. It figures the Beast would bring them home. I swear, he IS trying to kill me. LOL!
We still have some in the house but I told the Beast to put them in his desk drawer and out of my sight. Out of sight, out of mind. Now that I am feeling decent again, I do NOT want to go through that again. In fact, according to the information I read, IBS is often brought on by nuts and legumes. I am going to avoid them like the plague since the way Mustachio is talking, the trip to Florida may be coming up sooner than he originally thought. I think he's actually getting kind of anxious to make a dive....or two....besides seeing his buddies down there.
Which brings me to a concern of mine. My gf, Carol, notified me that I should expect another package from New York PLUS she is sending me a check to help pay for my trip down to Florida so the Beast can't complain a whole lot. It worries me because I feel like she is trying to leave me a legacy and makes me worry about the state of her health. I know she has her two sons and her hubby so it's not like she could actually leave me anything in a will (shudder...a gruesome thought to me) but since I have seen so little of her online, I am worried. She has so many health problems and she's 10 years older than I am, too. I do NOT want to even consider that has anything to do with her generosity to me. The very thought makes me cry. My world will be a bit emptier without her so it cannot be allowed! You hear me, Carol? You had better get better QUICK!
You are more important to me than THINGS are. I would rather spend my time talking to you and sharing some of the things we have already shared in our lives as well as our hopes and memories. I wish I could share some of her with everyone that reads this. She is an amazing woman with a great heart. She has one real regret....the absence of grandchildren in her life. I offered to share mine with her....well, the great-grandchildren since they are the youngest ones. I believe love is to be shared and the more it's shared, the more it grows. She hoped on that bandwagon with both feet, so-to-speak, and I know Chewlee loves her and misses her notes. She always asks me if she's gotten a letter from Carol and is so disappointed when I tell her no.
I need to get my butt into bed and get some good rest so I don't set myself back into a bad place. I'm a bit tired since I stayed up pretty much all day today. I love you all. Stay warm, dry and safe. Be aware of your health and take care of it. We only get one life. ***Hugs***
