flu and other ramblings danger will robinson long post about nothing

after two days of feeling crappy this morning i do not have a headache! finally! i hate it when that happens. i could even go outside to walk the dog and not feel a chill other than how cold it is out there. bird update...she still can't fly but is only trying every other time i take her out of the cage. she's still adorable. last night she let the dog know that she is not afraid of her. she has more guts then brains. the bird not the dog. though the dog isn't too bright either. after all the postings about vitamins, i'm making more of a point to take all the suppliments. i've even packed alittel baggie with extras in case i make it to work and have forgotten to take something. in fact i have used it a couple of times too! i've lost 5 pounds in the past 2 weeks YEAH! tried really really really hard. just like before but this time it worked. the things i changed was i cut out pretzels, croutons, that type of thing. i didn't think i ate that many carbs my calories were right were they should be to lose but i didn't. i'm also putting in a strong effort to drink before meals. that has been helping to hold me til the next meal. i also cut out my favorite thing in the world...peanut butter. lots of sugar in that stuff. even alittle tablespoon on a cracker can add up quickly. oh well so long peanut butter for a while. MY DAUGHTER ISN'T MOVING TO NH!!!!!!! while i'm feeling bad for the kids i'm thrilled for me. purely selfish. sorry can't help it. her financee's brother backed out of their deal to a partnership in the company. they were doing so great but the time frame was coming to sign the papers and there was a dispute between the fiancees brother's ****ty girlfriend who broke up with him in the past 6 months 5 times, doesn't work, doesn't pay her bills and runs around i'm suspision that there might be some drugs in there too. she wants more money to spend so they've canceled the deal. THANK GOD. i put on a sad face when they told me and did a happy dance when i left. time to go good luck and god bless to all

Glad you're feeling better, Pam. The cold and flu season i****ting early this year in CT. M.

Hi Pam; I'm glad that you are feeling better. Just a reminder: When you have a flu or any bug that affects your stomach, it's really easy to get dehydrated. Dehydration is serious for most folks, but we "Pouch People" really get hit hard. I ended up at the emergency room on an IV last time I got dehydrated. One of the early warning signs of dehydration is headache, so please be careful. Take care. Mike
