My thoughts released; a mind set free
These pages contain my thoughts, from meandering ideas and persuasions to deep cerebrations and serious mentations.

Why, for what purpose? To release my mind and set creativity free. Somewhere inside the constraints of my mind dwells a writer, a poet, an artist who paints with words. In here I release those constraints and set the artist free.

Perhaps, lost somewhere in the depths of thought, is a story or a poem, waiting to be written.

I'm docked at Talent Pond's Blog Harbor, a safe port for bloggers to connect.

Yesterday was rough, I felt like road-kill. But, as I mentioned in yesterday's post, my doctor informed, unofficially of course, that if I suspected I had contracted a stomach virus or bacteria, I could possibly stop it with a few shots of a good strong beverage. The idea is, if it's still in the stomach and hasn't gotten a firm start, the alcohol in a shot or two could kill it off.

So, yesterday I seemed to have symptoms of catching a stomach bug. Last night, before retiring for the night, I poured a few ounces of brandy in a glass and sipped on it while I wrote in my blog. I refilled and repeated this a couple more times, not chugging it down, but sipping it slowly and enjoying it. After, I went to bed, went right to sleep, and slept sound until early this morning. I woke up in need of a drink of water and a trip to the bathroom, but I wasn't feeling bloated any more. I was still half asleep, so I couldn't tell you if I felt a lot better, but I didn't feel as miserable as I did when I went to bed. I returned to bed and went right back to sleep, waking up later this morning feeling fine.

I had some coffee but didn't eat anything most of the day, for fear that if I ate, unsure if the food would settle alright or start the problems again. But by dinner time, I was starving and ate a healthy portion with no ill effects. In fact, I had a pretty full day since I was feeling better and managed to get quite a bit accomplished. I got a good start on a few projects that are kind of related, but now I need to create more storage to complete them. If all goes well, that's tomorrow's plan, to put shelves up in the laundry center.

So, tomorrow, I need to haul the recyclables, then go pick up materials to build the shelves. Since the temperature is supposed to drop through the night and the day, it's a good time to do some work in the house. Once I get that part done, I need to do some organizing and work in the garage, so I'm hoping the cold snap is short and we get more mild temperatures for working out there.

So, it seems, we have a plan. Now, if things just work out so we can stick to the plan...
