Monday

I just caught the tail end of a story on the news. It was talking about Children in my county and the number who have tried drugs and alcohol by the age of 10.
10?!

I realize I am abnormal, but at 10 I didn't even know drugs existed. The abnormal part is that I am 28 and have never drank alcohol either (not counting cough syrup). I have always thought that beer smelled horrible and I am such a picky eater I have just never even been tempted to try. Also, with my health stuff and taking several medications, alcohol probably wouldn't be a good idea.

I'll admit that I do not need my inhibitions lowered. I shudder to think what I would do and with whom if I were drunk.

On a different subject, my intestines hate me. I am so very careful about not eating anything that will mess up my colon (If colon talk bothers you, leave now). I am kind to my digestive system. For some reason it just decides to turn on me. This time it thought "we'll give her 4 straight days of uninterupted nausea for no apparent reason." It does this to me every so often. I have had enough morning sickness to have had about 10 kids. It's also been crampy. Not bad enough to leave me doubled over like it does at times, just enough to be uncomfortable. I had a bunch of errands to run this morning and I had to do them feeling queezy and crampy. I also had to visit the bathroom once or twice during my errands. I'm feeling better tonight, but haven't eaten much today. No point if it's going to go through me anyway.

I will at times talk about my Ulcerative Colitus and Irritable Bowel. Poop does not bother me. I am open about it. I wish I could put a link to a definition of Colitus, but I don't know how.

Happy Valentines Day! The extent of mine was a box of candy from my dad. Russel Stovers Caramels, my favorite! I got my nephew two valentine balloons (yes I know you don't give balloons to baby's, but he is not old enough to try to eat it) He looked at them and creased his brows as if pondering what these shiny floaty things were. It entertained him for about 20 minutes. A great improvement over his usual 30 second attention span. He has discovered his hands. He has found that they can go in his mouth and that they taste pretty good.

I am off to bed,
