stomach aches

Day three of the stomach bug invasion at Mandy's Castle...for me, David, and Chloe, I made grits this morning (easy to keep down), ginger ale, soup and eggs for lunch (easy to keep down...I thought so, too).  Went with ginger ale and sandwiches for dinner.  No tomato, no mustard, no nothing spicy or that can possibly upset a stomach.  We'll see.

Managed to run some errands, and came home to a surprise in my mailbox...a beautiful card with a gift from a friend.  Sometimes knowing that your family and friends are thinking about you makes you smile.  Then I got a silly text from my cousin, Bobby.  I know I'm his favorite cousin.  :) Silliest texts ever from another friend...the kind that my mom would scold me for sharing if I shared them.  Still laughing out loud. Got a text from another friend...she gave me a gift today that is so kind and generous that I can't say thank you enough.  Then a phone call from a friend miles away...  Between my mom, my sissy, my sisters by heart, and my friends, I'm a lucky girl.

Also got another interview for next week - this one with the school district!  That would be uber cool.  :)

Sat outside for a little while to enjoy the not 100 degree weather, and realized I think the strangest things.  I was thinking, when I got my hair cut, that's the ultimate go to spot for a criminal looking to plant DNA.  When I get my eyebrows waxed, hair cut...a criminal could go through the trash and plant all sorts of evidence.  I think the strangest things.  I think things about people I see when I'm people watching...absurd things.  I have a monstrous imagination...it's amazing to me that I haven't wandered off somewhere.  This morning, I think the cat was mad.  Actually mad about nothing.  I could've been imagining it, but I could see disgust in his eyes...at nothing.  Just to be mad.  I felt sad about it...tried to pet him and tell him I love him, but he bit me and wanted to fight.  I tried to think of what he could be mad at.  I wonder if he has bad dreams, like humans do.  But I didn't feel like fighting him, so I put him down and left him alone...I think he likes that a lot.  :)

Laundry going, sandwiches made, toilets ready...pepto in the cabinet, and ginger ale in the fridge.  FSU game is starting, so y'all have a good night  :)
