Old-school Adventist

My last post was me venting and whining, two things I do pretty well, if I do say so myself.  So, I’m assuming everyone has been breathlessly waiting to see if I recovered from my serious illness (a cold).  Whatever it is that I have, it’s been going around here like wildfire, and it’s been keeping people down for weeks.  Well, I got righteously angry about being sick again for such a long time, so I decided to go old-school Adventist on this one.  I’m certain there are only a brief number of you reading this who will understand what I mean, but here’s what I did.  I completely cut sugar out of my diet.  I drank only water and orange juice.  I doubled up on my vitamins and then I slept.  I mean, for three days I’ve been in bed.  And that stinks, because I’ve had to ask many people for help, which is embarrassing and humiliating, but I knew that, unless I wanted to be sick for weeks, this is what I had to do.  I remember being told a long time ago by a wise Adventist doctor that your body could either repair your illness or repair any strain you put on your body during the day, so unless you rest, you will draw your sickness out for a longer period of time.

So this is the end of day three, and I feel so much better!  And remember, I have the immune system the size of a pea.  I’m certain there are doubters out there, but should you feel that cold coming on, you should try this!

Now, on to more important things.  How do I break Callie Grace from the idea that to wipe her runny nose, she just picks the nearest person to her and uses their pants/shirt/jacket/scarf/etc.?  Not that it’s not hilarious and cute, in a gross, I have snot on my clothes way, but I can’t let it continue.

And, due to my self-imposed confinement to bed, the nativity scene is in utter chaos.

Before I end this, I should add that none of what I said above could have been done without a husband who is so incredibly kind and thoughtful that he would do anything to make me feel better.
