Well hello..!
That seems to be my standard greeting now; ‘Well…hello.’ I might as well say ‘come here often?’ But then that’d be a bit awkward..since I already know when I check my analytics :]
Anyways, how has everyone been? I hope all have been fantastic, and for, like, the hundredth time..I am very sorry for all the Bloggaries just taking a millennia! Their multiple photos being added through my googledrive and preparing for typing up what I can remember of every day a year and a half ago had been set back on the back burner which was completely turned off for a while. A while being, yaknow, three months.
The first month (or two) I was just being my typical procrastinating self, telling myself that later I’d get photos completely attached to their corresponding days and finally just get moving on with typing everything out. Of course…that didn’t really happen, nor did my mass of the month of March blog post. Because on random days we’d end up watching a bunch of movies, or I’d just watch different videos from people I subscribe to on YouTube, or I’d actually read, like, a ton, besides survey things getting done.
And then came last month and a half. There was rain. So. Much. Rain. Unbelievable amounts of rain. So much rain, that Lake Travis is full, there have been tons of floods, and uh…yeah the ground is a sponge, besides the fact that the power had been off over two days worth of time, not to mention the internet being off and worked on multiple times this past month. Just in the last couple weeks, there’s been probably 15+ inches worth of rain, and it’s starting to get extremely ridiculous. The yard? What yard? It’s now a jungle, because usually as soon as it starts to dry maybe a little bit, some crazy storm clouds from the gulf decide they’re going to blow on over and just open the dump valve of water on us. It’s sunny today though, and it was…a smidge sunny yesterday. So I guess that helps a little.
Now to other reasons, that are actually not excuses, but viable and completely understandable reasons why I hadn’t been working at all on Blog posts. Finny boy had overeaten on the 20th of May, in his excitement for his food coming in and it upset his tummy…pretty badly. It gave him a nasty batch of IBS that was excruciating for him and nearly just as excruciating to watch and try to help him get over. It got really bad until the 25th, which is when my mom had rediscovered a recipe for a healing and stomach calming tea. It took just two days of the tea and cottage cheese in doses for him to stop having any cramping up, spasming or pain in his stomach and intestines. It did take until this past Wednesday for his system to start really getting back to normal, as in..completely normal looking poo, ability to actually eat more and not just have it all soupy and soft. It’s amazing what this tea actually has done. Things got pretty scary for a bit, and it was a few days I didn’t get any real sleep, none of us did. Because it was just..horrible. And now, right now, as I’m typing this; he is sleeping so soundly, snoring and curled up near his bed, waiting for his next serving of food, which is going to be bland scrambled eggs, bland (not salty or too sugary) pancakes, and baked potato cut into chunks, all topped with a dose of tea to be sure everything is calm in the tumtum.
That’s what’s been going on with us. A bunch of things kind of piling up on each other, and then finally the sun’s coming out and everything’s looking better and brighter. My sleeping schedule righted itself through all of this, (after binging Dexter in mid may it went WAY CRAZY) and now I’m waking up pretty dang early. Still feeling the effects of the lack of sleep a week ago, but with things starting to right themselves, I know all will be back on track in a short time. Just today, I actually did get 5 Bloggary posts (which are each 7 days) loaded up with photos, and I estimate within the week, if I work a few hours each day at it, all the pics will be loaded up on the posts and be ready for my writing skills to take effect. You all can expect some random subject blog posts coming in these next couple weeks, too, including a pretty big one from march!
So, all in all…things were acting a bit crappy and now it’s been shoveled away and finally getting better. I’m looking forward to actually, finally getting these blogs all posted and caught up to me just putting out random blog posts that I feel like doing. Now before I conclude this with a fitting picture of the sunshine, here is the amazing and miraculous healing tea recipe:
One cup pedialyte or an electrolyte source like lemon lime Gatorade.
Two tablets of 180mg echinacea or something smaller can work too, just has to be echinacea. Dissolve them in a small amount of water beforehand, just enough water to slightly cover the tablets or powder.
Two chamomile tea bags, and one small garlic clove sliced very thinly.
Let the liquid and all ingredients heat up so the tea gets into it, stirring every so often, then let it cool after, adding two drops each of mint and peppermint extracts, stirring them in. It can be refrigerated and the teabags/garlic left in the liquid. It can be doubled if you need more..and then on serving. For Finn we started with three teaspoons from a dropper, and then he moved to drinking 5 teaspoons out of his bowl excitedly. We do it every hour, or if he slept past an hour, when he woke up. And after the tea, some very light food. Then for continued use, the tea can be mixed in with food after the stomach is well on its way through the healing process.
I hope this recipe does some good for others as it has for us. 🙂
Take care and TTFN!~
