Life imitating nature imitating pain
 wrote this at 8:38 pm

A few days ago I cooked our favorite dumplings for supper & wound-up giving us both food poisoning.

[at least that was the initial arm-chair diagnosis]

It took Eric less than a day with his iron stomach to get better. Me?…Not so much with the iron stomach bit.

Although for EricĀ I think eating only 3 different kinds of MRE’s for the firstĀ 6 months during his time in Iraq helped train him to deal with stomach pain.

MRE – Meal Ready to Eat:Pre-packaged food love courtesy of the Army with a shelf-life of 10+ years. And yes – honest to God, the boy ate the same 3 kinds of MRE’s for 6 months straight. It’s all they had.

But my stomach doesn’t seem to want to get over whatever this was.

And this lone remaining bird house gourd from our backyard is a perfect depiction of how I feel.

Twisted, tortured…with no foreseeable escape.

Ugh.

I can’t even look at it without wincing.
