Am a bit drained, I am

[wiseheart]

... as Sam Gamgee would put it - according to Larner's stories, at least. My stupid digestion kept me up for an hour in the middle of the night; apparently, that apple cake wasn't baked through properly. I wonder how Mum could eat it without consequences. She's clearly the tougher one of the two of us.

Then we had the usual bi-weekly cleaning, which meant I didn't have much time for anything creative. At least I've finished the page base of Janka's castle puzzle page. Now I can fiddle with the small details for the next week or so.

But first I had to go for a food run, as we had barely any bread, milk and yogurt in the house. We also needed some apples and bananas. While I was in the middle of the shopping, my friend Evie called to tell me that the strawberries we'd ordered arrived a day earlier and were now waiting at school for us to fetch them. Needless to say that the school is in the opposite direction from the supermarket I was doing my shopping. Fortunately, our other friend, Eenie, who had also ordered, offered to pick up my strawberries as well and deliver them to me. She has a car, while I haven't.b

So Eenie came, and we had coffee and apple cake together, had a little chat, and then she left. By that time I was so tired I fell asleep over my crossword puzzle. *g*

So, it was a busy day, but at least things are done for now and I can rest a bit and look forward to the re-runs of the GBBO. ;))

Hope you feel better soon! My tiny, frail mother has a cast iron digestive system. It’s a mystery.

Sorry about your belly.
Glad you got your strawberries and a little chat, though.

Meh @ your stomach ... not fun.
I hope you feel better soon.

Friends with cars are a blessing for those of us who do not. How lovely of her to fetch your strawberries.

That really was a super-busy day and I'm glad you can rest a bit now!

Your stomach problems are worrying! I hope you will feel better soon!

Oh, Mum does struggle with the same problem — just at different times.

Meeting a friend is always a delight.

It is not so bad — just annoying and unpredictable. There is no rule what will bring forth an episode, but at least it's usually over in one day.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

It is. Granted, she had to fetch her own ones anyway, but it didn't mean she was obliged to bring me mine. But she's a doll, she really is.

So am I, believe me! :)

It is already over. It usually doesn't last longer than a day. The women in my family have been struggling with a sensitive stomach for three generations. Mum started with it around the age of 50 or so; I'm actually lucky that I was free of it until last year. And there is no pattern to it, no particular food that starts an episode — it just comes and goes.
While we were still able to travel, the first thing we took notice of in each new place was the location of available loos. *g*

Sorry about your stomach problems, hope you are better soon.

They usually last only a day, but have become recurring. Well, if it doesn't get any worse...
