I'm Back!

Sorry for the longer than expected hiatus. I'm just coming out of a taffy-induced sugar coma. My diet on this vacation was piss poor. I subsisted mostly on pastries, taffy and boardwalk lemonade. It was fantastic.

Now I'm back from vacation and have no excuse not to resume eating well. Though, I do confess to waking at 1am this morning to the siren song of the taffy sitting on our kitchen counter (wherein said taffy was transported into the bathroom for 15 minutes of ravishing). You'd understand if you'd actually tasted this stuff (and, yes, I do think the fact that I eat my midnight snacks in the bathroom is quite odd and, no, I do not know why I persist in this questionable habit).

Anyway, I was happy with how I felt this vacation considering the long car rides involved. I can honestly say that car rides have become much more palatable since having the stimulator implanted. They still aren't "fun" but they are much better than pre-stimulator.

I did experience some nasty pain when I went to church with the in-laws this past Sunday. I forgot to bring a pillow for my back and when I sat against the pew, the edge dug into my incision. I unleashed a stream of expletives (though only in my head, lest I be smoted) and spent the rest of mass hunched over-Quasimodo-style . I'm adding "purposefully uncomfortable seating" to my list of grievances with the Catholic church.

Well, that's my update for now. But before I sign off, here's a picture of one of my favorite August flowers (which Mr. B and I spied on our afternoon walk...).


Alright, here's a second pic. I should note that I hid in the bushes to take these pictures as I didn't want my neighbors to mistake me for a flower stalker (which I most clearly am..).
