Well Thursday was one of those days where we weren't sure if we going to be throwing up or heading to the toilet as Nancy seemed to have passed her bug onto me. At times I felt both but never really did they ever come to pass; (no pun intended) just an uneasy feeling at times; so we stayed home, rested, read and ate sparingly. I did head out after a lite lunch of some peanut butter and celery to the library for a couple reads I had ordered.
I got up late and did my morning routines and initially thought about some pickle ball as the knee is back to normal as much as normal can be for 75 years of activity. It feels great and I was hoping to play when I felt this constant ache deep inside the gut thinking I might have got her bug which sent her to the toilet several times during the night before and day time, oh boy I thought I have let the bug get inside me. I immediately after taking my vitamins and supplements peeled a garlic clove and chopped it into small pieces and swallowed it whole which is an antibiotic. Well it did the trick and while I did have to take some ground ginger later in the afternoon to help settle the tummy, I never had any of the obvious effects Nancy had.
I did my quiet time giving thanks and lifting several up for comfort and healing to my Creator and Lord. All seem as well as can be expected. As the morning wore on I ate a crisp apple for breakfast which always seems to fulfill my desire for more food and I do believe they are so good for you. I bought a 5 pound bag of Fuji apples yesterday on the way home at Sam's Club and they are so fresh like I just picked them from the tree. Such sweet flavor. For lunch it was just peanut butter with some celery sticks and we ate lite for supper with some canned peas and egg rolls we had in the freezer. The tummy quit aching after a cup of Thai tea after supper which was delicious with some creamer. We watched the news after supper and saw where the actor was found guilty for creating another racial hoax to get attention and belittle real racial injustices that do and have occurred; basically there is no systemic racism except among the race baiters who use if for political or economic gain or who are always wanting something for nothing. I've worked both in the military and in law enforcement and have many friends of all races.
I read all afternoon and finished a great non fiction story that occurred in the 1800's of a sailing vessel that crashed in the Auckland Islands and how they survived with the 5 of them working together and were eventually saved and rescued. The title of the book is ISLAND OF THE LOST by Joan Druett. It's a real page turner from the journal one of those men kept throughout the ordeal and was preserved for her to write this story. Fantastic read and there is a parallel story of another ship wreck at the same time just north of them and how they fared when there was much division among the crew.
I did tune into the Lightning game in Toronto and they won against a tough team without many of their stars 5-3. I flipped back and forth to the NFL game and the Steelers were getting whupped by the Vikings. The playoffs are starting to become an issue for many teams and thus far our Buc's are looking good in their division. Maybe a repeat who knows, LATER
