Perpetual Ruminations

Good, Bad, Ugly

The weather is being very rude! Yesterday was in the sixties, but dropped into the fifties when the rain moved in. Today was supposed to be in the sixties again, and sunny, but instead we barely made it into the forties, and it was cloudy and windy. I need to keep three sets of clothing on hand this time of year; winter clothes, spring clothes, and summer clothes.

I'm still able to eat, which is great, but after four days of only liquids, it's taking my stomach some time to get used to having food in it. Yesterday I made a pot of homemade beef and barley soup for dinner and enjoyed it. After, however, I had to contend with my digestion restarting. Today it's going better, I had toast with jam for breakfast, a cup of yesterday's soup for lunch, and for dinner another cup of soup with a grilled cheese sandwich.

It's like "The Good, The Bad, And the Ugly"; it's good to be eating again, it's bad that it causes some stomach distress, and it's ugly that shortly after eating, I'm running for the bathroom. But, today was a lot better than yesterday, and tomorrow will be better yet. Of course, I should add that some nicer weather would help out a lot as well.

I put on ten pounds over the winter, but with the eating problems I have taken them back off, so there's always a bright side.
