Drama-Free zone

I hate Drama.

I love drama-fee!

I have been fortunate to have lived in a drama-free zone for a long time now. I find that if I mind my own business, don't try to mind others' business, and keep my "friend" area tiny - confiding only to my husband, that I am able to maintain this status quo!

I have also realized that it's easier to love my family and friends for who they are and where they are in their lives; and pray that they feel the same way about me.

For other people it is not so easy and therefore they always seem to be a big target for the drama arrow!

Someone I love is just being pelted with drama spears and it just breaks my heart!

:(

When It's Ovah ~ It's Ovah!

I never, ever thought I would type these words: It's Over (Ovah)!

My love affair with Wine.

My quest to 'heal' my growing stomach problems have taken me through tests, tests and more tests, some heavy-duty prescription Prilosec and a new adventure to Glutenfreeville!

Yesterday I felt pretty darn good - still pain - but better than I had felt in a long time. Then, I drank wine - well, a couple of glasses actually. This morning I wake to an all-too-familiar pain in my tummy. Ouch! I've never been great at Math, but I was able to put two and two together and come up with an ah-ha moment!

Wine + last night = stomach pain today

Previously I had waved off stomach pains as being part of whatever the problem in my tummy was (ulcer, gastritis, reflux....), but then I cut out gluten last Monday. That, along with the Prilosec, began to make me feel so much better - and no heartburn or reflux! It hit me this morning that the wine had gluten and here I am. Feeling like I have swallowed a side of beef - whole, I'm nauseous and my tummy hurts.

So...I can't purposely make myself feel like this again.

It will be a hard row to hoe without wine but... I will survive!

Peace
