Life's a Stitch

And more recently life’s a creative adventure with some travel thrown in.

Label this one under "poor me," a 100% feeling sorry for myself post. I went to San Francisco and all I came back with was a severe case of food poisoning. Thank goodness I was under the care of my daughter, the nurse, and had an understanding hotel manager who let us stay in the room for five hours past checkout. And now it's my birthday and I'm eating bagels, bananas and ginger ale. There are a lot worse things in the world right now than food poisoning, but when you're in the thick of it it's difficult to think of anything farther than the bathroom. Blecchhh.

    If it makes you feel any better, on my 16th birthday I had the worse case of chicken pox.

    So sorry, but Happy Birthday anyway! When exactly were you there? I was there too! I got there Thursday and came home Sunday. What a hoot if we were there at the same time. Fortunately, no food poisoning for me.

    Poor, poor you! What a horrible birthday. But anyway: Happy birthday to you – I do hope that Chuck and the kids will celebrate later – you deserve to be pampered! Love from Denmark.

    Well, happy birthday anyway, even if it involves recovery from food poisoning! I hope you get better soon!
    Actually, now that I think about it, I don’t know why people say “get better soon”. Get better NOW!

    Happy Saint Patrick’s Day Li! Not going out…. taking delivery of a new
    Elliptical Machine. That should help get me in shape. I only have a few pages left to read of “The Tender Bar” and just loved it.

    Food poisoning is certainly one of those situations that tends to singularly focus one’s brain upon it, another I’ve noticed is sore/tired feet. Next time I get food poisoning I’ll try thinking: At least I don’t have sore feet and see if that distracts that single-focus. 😉
    P.S. Please send me the pattern for the Herringbone Rib Scarf
