Today we had a
gorgeous teaser day. After miserable snow showers Friday, and expected nasty, cold weather again on Tuesday, it was sunny and in the high 60's today. We could not pass up the opportunity to get outside! But I'll get back to that after telling you about our weekend first.
Friday night, we went over to our friends, Jordan and Katherine's, house for dinner. Katherine's birthday was Thursday, so we were having a belated birthday dinner with them. Katherine cooked some delicious pot roast, carrots, snap peas, mashed potatoes, and for dessert, she made a peach pie.
So delicious! David and I ate until we were about to pop. Well, pop I did, at about 4 am. Only after being up since 3 am with a miserable stomach ache, diarrhea, chills, and basically wanting to die. I finally threw up everything my stomach was holding, as David jumped out of bed and ran into the bathroom to help. About 4:30, we got back into bed and slept until 8. I continued to have diarrhea all day, relaxed and napped, and drank gatorade and ate crackers. Then, my legs and back decided to attack me. I was so sore and my muscles basically locked and knotted up. It was the worst feeling. My back and legs were in
so much pain. I took a hot bath and attempted to stretch, put the heating pad on my legs and back, and finally David and I went to sleep around 11pm.
This morning, I woke up feeling so rested with no more pain. As I stood up though, my stomach ached from being so empty. The price to pay for trying to not throw up any more. And one I was happy to pay. I slowly ate, and with this beautiful day, David and I took Lylah and went out on the trail behind our apartment. People were everywhere, doing everything. Tons of bikers, walkers, dogs, mommas running with their strollers, roller skaters- everyone was soaking up this beautiful day. Lylah does so good out on the trail. We don't keep her on the leash, and whenever people pass us, we have her sit and stay, and she just watches people walk or ride by. She is a really, really good girl. I took my new camera and decided to practice taking some pictures. The ground is pretty dead, but Lylah is stinking
CUTE.
