Food Poisoning Ain’t Fun

One of my favorite places to eat has lost it’s Top Ten ranking. After eating my normal order of two pieces of chicken, I got so incredibly ill. It happened on Thursday and I’ve been recuperating since Friday, with today being Monday. It only took about 30 or so hours to get the garbage out of my system, but its residual affects lasted all weekend. I’ve been lethargic and sleeping to let my body get some sense of normalcy again.

I haven’t had that type of illness in about three years and not surprising that it was fried chicken. Not sure what it is about this place, but every now and then, I get the not cooked all the way through breast piece that leaves me debilitated for a few days. Cool thing about living here is that it’s a short walk to a pharmacy, no prescription required for meds that work within an hour or so. Plus, the added benefit of low cost does somewhat ease the pain.

Today, I’m a bit more mechanical in my writing and going through the motion of writing more so than for the connection on the content. A little bit of a hangover from my recent bout of illness, but there’s always room for improvement. Tomorrow, if I’m granted the gift to see it, I’ll do a better job of documenting how great the weekend was, in spite of my illness.

Today, Monday, July 17, 2023, I am grateful that:

I’m back to a normal health condition. The longer I’m alive, the more I’m getting the meaning of “health is wealth.” With so many people struggling, I forget that for the most part, I’ve had a good run of things in that department. Of course, there’s room for improvement and it’s been something I’m gradually moving towards making a decision.

Sherman helped me out this weekend. There was no need for him to commit himself, but he did. I am happy he did, as he saved me from what would have been an incredibly long and arduous day.

I’m back to writing. I’ll probably work on this aspect of my professional development a bit more in the coming months. There’s a few projects I want to start and complete before year’s end and I’ll be more secluded in the coming months, so it’ll definitely be an area of enhancement.

When was the last time you thanked your Creator for life?

For your health? Your very existence?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
