Greetings from Stockton&#33;  i am back in the Land of the Living.  fnally broke down and got some OTC meds.  Whether it was that or the illness tunred the corner on its own, I started feeling lots better yesterday and am pretty much back on track today.  It was a joy to be able to drink my coffee and only have to experience it one direction - if you know what I mean. <br />
<br />
Thanks for all the support and kind wishes.  The ten pounds didn&#39;t stay off for long and the dial on the scale is pretty much back where it started.  Oh well, it was nice while it lasted.  <br />
<br />
I&#39;m planning to do my bit at SCT this afternoon, but lay low the rest of the week.  Last thing I want is for this to come back on me.  how could anyone cruise and try to go on excursions and such?  <br />

Keith - you have a cutie on your hands.  Her name?  While I love our kitties, dogs have a special way of making you feel loved.  This is why I love dog sitting for our friends so much.<br />
<br />
MelBelle - isn&#39;t it great how  love makes everything taste good?  I remember decorating cookies with Wendy when she was five and she would lick her hand to press the sprinkles onto the cookies (of course, we all know where all the sprinkles ended up).  We ate those ourselves.<br />
<br />
Tonia - we&#39;ve done lettuse before, but it pciked up a really nasty flavor from our soil - then we did a container of it, but only had two harvest before it was gone.  It&#39;s easier to buy it at the store or farmer&#39;s market.<br />
<br />
Now to go do battle with the disability company again - I couldn&#39;t imagine what it would be like if I had to survive on my own while these guys hem and haw and continually request the same info again and again.  <br />
<br />
Have a grand day all.<br />
