Healing, Heeling

[talktooloose]

Ack! Only about five hours of sleep last night as the pup had massive, horrible, stinky diarrhea that needed to be cleaned up not just once starting around 3:30 a.m.

Poor pup and poor us. So he's not eating until this evening when his food will be mostly white rice.

I finally gave up on the pretense of sleep at around 5:30 and went out to the backyard with the dog so Snake could get another hour of sleep before teaching. I then spent a fairly enjoyable hour rescuing our berry bushes and roses from various opportunistic weeds that were rising up to choke them out. This isn't the worst thing to do in the early morning hours and it brought me a lot of peace.

I'll have to crash for a couple of hours later but altogether I don't feel as sick as I did yesterday.

While on the subject of healing, please send out healthful vibes to a_trick_mind whose blood is finally free of infection after several months in hosptial. He's still too weak to get up from his hospital bed and he has a lot of recovery left to do, but it seems the situation is less grave than it was. His boyfriend is a hero of epic proportions who has worked days and nursed nights to help his boy get better.

Glad to hear both you and your friend are feeling better! The dog however...ick! It sounds as bad as a sick baby, although I suspect he howels less. What's made the dog ill- something he hate?- or simply a virus going aorund?

Get some rest today to take care of yourself. Just because you're feeling better doesn't mean you're 100% yet.

As you once admonished me, sir, take the time to recover. Summer illnesses, I think, are the worst because of the notion that "you're not supposed to be sick in June!" (unless you're in the Southern Hemisphere).

So sorry to hear about the pup. Having two dogs, we've done the "eww at 3 a.m." thing plenty of times. White rice for dinner? I'm curious.

White rice is binding and easy to digest. So are bananas.

But just look at my new icon!
