The Undiscovered Country

My New Companions

I’d like to introduce to you a few of my new, and ever constant companions.

Warning: You of the male persuasion may want to skip the first one.

Pain: And not just any pain. It plays in but one - make that two - locations. Some days are better than others, and sometimes this pain decides to sit still for a while during the day to give me a small measure of relief. If not for my Victoria’s Secret support bras, this pain would play even more, methinks.

Indigestion: Not full-blown morning sickness, I still can’t eat anything without less than an hour later my stomach flip-flopping around with so much enthusiasm I wonder if it’s bruising my liver and intestines. I have yet to develop a deeply personal relationship with John, but I anticipate I soon will.

Not all of my new companions give me grief, though.

Allergies: I should say lack thereof. Right now, especially with the constant rainfall for the last week, I should suffer from a plugged up nose, itchy ears, nose and throat, simultaneously dry and watery eyes, and constant sneezing so hard my chest feels like it will implode. So far my worst symptom is an occasional sneeze or two.

Appetite: I’ve always had a healthy appetite, but at least now I have an excuse to make a glutton of myself. Ha! To eat with little or no guilt, I kinda like it.

Anyway, all I have time for today is write my entry. I have a house to clean. Not because the 'nesting fever' has kicked in, but our new garage is about done, and Dave invited a bunch of people over for a 'garage warming party' tonight.

Gotta have a presentable house for that.

Hope you all have a wonderly Saturday!
