In times of old, The Furies protected Mother Right. If a mother (or any woman) was harmed, The Furies swooped down and took their vengeance. They were one of the last vestiges of a world that existed before the patriarchy. When we feel righteous anger, it is The Furies who are calling out to us to make what is wrong right again.

Blueberry Bliss 

So right this second except for the sweats, slight nausea, and dizziness, I feel good. I just ate blueberry muffins in cake form. Very, very good. I told Mario how great it was and he patted my leg and said, "It's the drugs, honey." He was right; I did just take some drugs. That's why I have this window of non-moaning. Let's see if I can remember everything I've eaten today. Poor Mario. You know how most people don't eat when they're sick? That's about all I do. Once an hour. Let's see. Woke up at 6:00 a.m. in mucho pain. Made oatmeal so that I could eat half a percocet without throwing up.

Mario got up at 8:00, and he's been feeding me ever since. He's made and served me aduki bean soup, mushroom veggie soup, organic chicken soup, carrot/kale/chard/spinach juice, organic turkey sandwiches, garlic toast, blueberry cake. The soups and juice are great because I can just drink them. The other stuff I have to chew very carefully on one side of my mouth. I did make myself banana blueberry ice cream. (Frozen blueberries and bananas Cuisinarted.) Was able to get my butt off the couch for THAT.

I think it is all getting better, knock wood. Last night the drugs didn't help at all. This morning they helped a bit. Tonight they helped a lot. That must mean improvement, right?

Okay. Back to being the zombie television watcher.

Yes, Kim...I know you are getting better. I've had that root canal thing. Isn't it wonderful that we both have good cooks that take care of us when we are not well? They both are irreplaceable!

ICK root canals - a whole symphony of pain. Glad you are feeling a little better, and Mario's splendid feeding has to be boon when one is coming around from dental procedures.

Yes, I'm so glad one of us likes to cook. I think he's fairly sick of it by now.

Knock wood I'm feeling better!
