Another day

I'm staying home from church today because my gallbladder was keeping me awake last night. It wasn't pain exactly -- just some discomfort. It's about time for another cleanse. Yuck.

So I thought I'd blog a little today. Not much to say. I'm going to straighten and de-clutter around my desk today and try to finish up some of these half-finished projects I have lying around. I'm not a naturally organized person. At all.

Ian goes back to Little Rock tomorrow to get his wires taken off. He'll have rubber bands for 3 weeks. He's looking forward to being able to get some food in his mouth. I have the feeling it's going to be pretty difficult for him for awhile.

Scott rented What Lies Beneath on Friday. Scott was sure it wouldn't be too scary for the kids. Now Christopher (9) sleeps in our bedroom and I have to sit in the bathroom while he takes a shower. He has had so much anxiety that he's almost thrown up the last 2 nights. It stinks to be right all the time. I've never been a fan of scary movies. They don't bother me as much now, but I think I will have to watch an alternative movie with Christopher next time.

Not much else going on at the moment. I'm going to go take a shower now. Hopefully, there won't be any ghosts...

I have to ask: How do you cleanse a gallbladder?

Still holding a good thought for Ian, poor guy!

I drink a mix of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice with cold-pressed olive oil (blergh!). It's nasty, but it sure works. I do it a couple of times a year since I started having gallbladder problems, and I haven't had an attack since. I was supposed to have my gallbladder out 3? years ago, but I have been fine so far.

And thanks for the good thought for Ian. :)

Yeah, Psycho freaked me out big time. The Birds too, in a different, more everyday way ...

I know what you mean. I used to LOVE scary movies, until I watched 'The Ring'. Then for the first time in my life I developed a fear of the dark. It didn't help that I watched 'The Excorsist' right after it. :b

That sounds perfectly disgusting. Hope you're feeling better!!

I cannot watch a scary movie by myself! I'm such a chicken. I hope you're feeling better, 2flower!

I used to be a wimp as a kid. No one could even tell me about a scary movie without me having anxiety over it for months afterward. I guess I had a vivid imagination. Stephanie, I don't know HOW you could watch those! :O I'm afraid to even read about The Ring. ;)

'The Ring' I thought would be just another scary movie. But it made me truely afraid of the dark among other things. (Like the TV just turning on and some walking out of it. Dumb...I know. But I was scared like I was 8 again.
