Everything is slowing down. Still gurgly but not as bad.
It really hit me out of left field. I had started a new medication on Tuesday and was feeling fairly off when I went to bed. Obviously found out in spades that wasn't it Wednesday morning

Most likely something eaten early Tuesday or late Monday. The operative phrase is "this too shall pass". (Oh, bad boy, Charlie, BAD boy.)

Definitely time for those little pills. And lots of fluids.

I do hope you're feeling better soon, kk. What you're going through is certainly no fun.

One of my favorite phrases, now with a whole new meaning.

That would be me, straight man for the funny guys. Still gurgling but not as bad. (I had forgotten that I ate an entire bag of cinnamon gummi bears. Not after the sweet, after the cinnamon. )

And not the gumminess?

No, I have a semi serious cinnamon addiction

Maybe we could start a support group because I do love cinnamon a lot.

My rant:
Cycling to a supplier this morning to pick up some things was not a good idea. A week ago I woke up with a very painful lower back (just above my tailbone). Luckily, on Tuesday morning the pain was gone but because I had moved/sat different than I normally would the muscle from in my left thigh was very sore. In the last couple of days it got better. But after cycling today the lower back pain is back, though not as bad. But even worse; bending down isn't an option because my back just refuses to move beyond a certain point.

Despite it having been a warm day today I've just turned on the electrical blanket (aka The Buttwarmer) on my bed, that helped last week.

I do not like the book titled Moby Dick.

How many unnecessary and distracting words must we suffer to get to the end of this blithering yapper's story?

Seeing a chiropractor could help a lot

I might look into it if it doesn't go away. But today was better. I noticed that my back is less painful (especially in the evening) if I keep moving. Sitting or standing still (or relatively still, when working on the store) makes my back lock up. This afternoon it was quiet in the store so I did a lot of chores, making my father crazy by moving around a lot. In the evening The Buttwarmer prevents me from seizing up.

Had been in the garden under brilliantly blue skies but was chased in by hard rain and skies that looked like Mordor.

Warming up while watching recorded TV. I've been watching Helix, but it continues to get more and more bizarre to the point of, is it worth it anymore?

I thought Helix lamed-out last year. I tried it this year, and made it to the point of the bees-honey, and just gave it the hell up. It's like...all drama, no plot. There's too much soap-opera for my tastes, and worse, it's shallow soap, too. Everybody is a psychopath--the modern tastes in TV (SOA, The Tudors, I mean, I could go on and on and on). And it's DUMB as crap, with all sorts of plotholes and idiocies. Shows all seem to start out well--for example, Suits, with a lot of repartee and wit--and then descend to the usual tropes, stereotypes, and the dreaded 8th grade plot-lines. (Another show that went in my trashbin, for which I'd had high original hopes. When I started hoping that the girlfriend character would get murdered, I figured, enough's enough. It's like they switched writers and started writing for 8th-grade girls).

In fact, even with my Roku, Directv, Acorn, Netflix and Amazon Prime, it's increasingly difficult, IMHO, to find anything new that's fun. We're not comedy fans; we mostly like mysteries, sci-fi, that sort of thing. Soapy soap is definitely out. I admit that my inner kid had high hopes for Netflix-Marvel's new Daredevil, but so far, it's not blowing my skirt up. That other new MFN (Made for Netflix), Bloodlines? Man, I thought that was going to be a mystery, and that's just pure nightime soap, from the jump. (When you start rooting for them ALL to die in a Hurricane, that's a sign that it's not for you.)

{sigh}. I guess that's the downside of a billion channels, and so little content, when you think about it. And if you're old enough, you've seen everything.

The world is telling you to read a good book!

I actually watch a lot of PBS and have decided if I don't give about 250 this year, I'm a thief. Still, there is Game of Thrones and so on. One thing about DVR, I pay little attention to the network
