Exile...

Hello my Darlings!

 Greeting from an on-the-mend (finally!) jspot!  As the 3 week time period approaches, I am at last feeling better.  It was total insult to injury to be sick during this gorgeous July weather.  But, I tried to do my best to make the best of the situation.  Above pic shows me on my birthday where I struggled to drink ONE glass of sangria.  Shudder!!!

While being sick, I caught the Jeffrey Epstein documentary as well as the Aaron Hernandez and the docu of Athlete A.  I heartily recommend all three.  The psychology of the people involved are fascinating to me and if I wasn't such an unmotivated bubblehead, I would have studied Psych in college.  Until then, I'll read, watch the telly and educate myself.

And since I'm usually late (fashionably, of course!) to the party, I have finally got into watching 'Orange is the New Black'.  Yes, the series of which came out in 2013 is now my 'party.'  I read the book when it first came out, but stubbornly refused to catch the series.  The book is ALWAYS better-right?  It's the perfect escapism, when you can't escape your house!

Consequently, July has been a blur for me.  As August approaches, I plan to catch up on the list of things I made while convalescing.  Or not...

One thing for sure; I will get back to Angelina's to enjoy a glass of that delicious sangria.  Or two!

P.S.  This virus is very contagious,  superniece Nicole, is still struggling after 9 days and Randy came down with it on Saturday.  EWWWWWwwwwwww.........

Gaslighter...

So how is July finding everyone?  Mask on and mask off!  I have complied and washed my hands incessantly, so after having stomach pains for a week, I landed in the hospital for numerous tests to determine the origin of the pain.  And to just check to make sure no unnecessary organs haven't blown up. 

So from 4 p.m. till 12.30 a.m. I was held hostage in a chilly room with a paper robe and sheet.  I was wheeled off 3 separate times for tests and was made to drink two glasses of some weird stuff.  I was pumped full of liquids for my dehydration.

The findings-no faulty organs and no corona virus; but one that is just as uncomfortable.  It was finally determined that I have a bacterial food poisoning issue.  I was given a script to help with the cramps and sent out into the night.  There is no meds that will 'cure' it and lots of water is all I can do.  Follow a boring, bland diet when you have to eat.  But you won't feel like it.  In 10-14 days I should be fine.

And....it's contagious!  My poor niece Nicole is currently going thru the same symptoms.  So, even with caution, I have contracted a random virus and passed it along.  So much for all the hype regarding 'safety.'  Take it for what it's worth.

Stay healthy and avoid all nasty viruses! 
   

Baby Love...

In a Saturday snugglefest with baby extraordinaire, Sebastien I had a few relevations...
How great is it to be a baby!  They soooooo have it made. 

Pot bellies and thighs rolls are adorable and worshiped as the cutest things ever.  The smell of bath and peanut butter is perfection.  A smile coaxed from a baby is something worth cheering about. His head on your shoulder or foot on your leg is heart melting. 

He is not judged for anything nor does he judge.  His opinions are simple and necessary for basic survival.  He naps at will.  His world is filled with comfort and love with no expectations other to grow and be healthy and happy. 

Nice gig if you can get it.
Thank you Sebastien for the snuggles, smiles and hugs.  We love you.  XO

Three Lock Box...

Enjoying an extendo July 04 weekend at the beach house where the chicks are smiling and the Internet is spotty.

Tres amigos and our boys had an amazing day on the water, enjoying this perfect summer weather.

Life is good-that's all.  See you all next week while my internet struggles will br resolved.  Hopefully.    Have a wonderful week.  XO
