On the Path to Wellness

Turns out, it wasn't food poisoning after all! It was a stomach virus, and it eventually landed me in the ER twice in the past 3 days. I won't get into the nitty gritty, but those so-called docs up there ran a bunch of tests only to come back and say that they couldn't do anything for me but let the virus run its course. Ugh. But I'm feeling so much better today. I've actually begun to eat again.

Me today:


Ahhh...


I've started reading an interesting book by Tom Robbins.



That guy's a bit strange. It's as if he takes his dreams and incorporates them into a novel that doesn't make any sense at first, but then when it comes together it hits you like a ton of bricks. So much insight! Fanciful writing that I normally wouldn't like, I think, but I'm really diggin' this one.

This is so unlike another weird book I started reading a few months ago and had to put down. 100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. It came sooo highly recommended...by critics, by my Dad who I borrowed it from, and by the queen of them all...Oprah. It sucked. Too weird. And after the first 100 pages (which felt like a century to read), I thought he was taking me in circles. Like the guy who got lost in the jungle and finds footprints to follow, only to realize hours later they're his own. Maybe I was too intellectually immature to just not 'get it.' But dad made me feel better when I told him I didn't like it when he said that some people just don't like the guy. That'd be me.

That's my life today. Tomorrow's another.
