I felt even better today, even though I still have fluid stuck in my right ear, which continues to make me slightly dizzy and nauseous. The oldest came over with her puppy and our dogs played and played. Then we went to lunch for Mexican where I had a really good margarita, lots of chips and salsa, and half my beans and rice and enchilada. I’ll eat the rest tomorrow. We came back to watch the dogs play some more and then she wanted another margarita so we went to my blues bar, which looks weird in the middle of the day.
I came home and took a bit of a nap and instead of eating dinner before choir I went out for strawberry rhubarb pie and coffee. That’s the first coffee I’ve had since I got sick. I had a cup of hot water, the first water I’d had all day, and now I’ll make some tea. Not too great on the fluids today but I had my good black tea this morning, twice, and a smoothie. Oh, and a piece of toast. Not so healthy today but much more fun. I forgot, when I got back from choir I had one chicken thigh and some baby carrots.
We sang The Rose tonight and I got to sing with the tenors. We had a new tenor. She was dressed up like a woman but I think he’s in the middle of a sex change. She is a good singer and was confident.
The Canadian is not calling or emailing and admitted that he is not over his wife. She was nice to him on his birthday and they are having an easier time communicating so I am pleased for them. He is gone this week, too, working in California. He tried to tell me his schedule last week but it was too much travel to keep straight. I did that for 20 years and have no interest in doing it again.
I do miss him, though. His shrink told him he had to wait to begin a new relationship until he had put his marriage to rest. And we were just being friends but I suspect he was advised not to call. We will probably have a better chance at friendship now. Plus, I can flirt again without him trying to kiss me. I’m so bad.

You know, Xanga needs to add a private comment option. Oy, I guess that’s what messaging is……….
there’s a way to get private commenting called “whisper” I have it on my site. I think you can click to it to find out how to put it on your site…. I keep track of my foods on http://www.sparkpeople.com I easily get off track tho! Better to start the relationship with the guy without the wife baggage. Hope your sickness is gone completely asap!
My friend and I were talking about rhubarb pie the other day. I’ve never had it. Would you recommend it?
Good luck in relationship land. I’m not allowed (by my own internal rules) to date any men for at least 6-12 months since I just ended an almost 9 year relationship. It’s hard for me to think or see clearly in that area just yet.
You got protein, today, so that was good, but it doesn’t seem like you ate much at all, in total.
What’s your choir?
It’s sad that all the baggage gets in the way when all you want is just friendship. Flirting isn’t bad as long as it’s a reflection of genuinely enjoying the person’s company and you’re clear about your intentions. Trouble is, people who say they understand, don’t always. Hope this works out for you.
Enchiladas might be my very favorite food.
Sounds like a pretty wonderful day to me . . .

Rhubarb pie is fantastic — such a wonderful mix of tart and sweet. And I love to eat it with a nice cold glass of milk . . .
Any doctor will tell you that tea, coffee and juice do not count toward the intake of water!!! I point this out knowing quite well that you already know that fact.
As for the married guy…say la vee…
Rubarb Pie…now that I could get into …must ….look…at….the….ranch for wild rubarb…there’s plenty when the irrigation season starts. Dave’s dad loved it and planted it all over the ranch…I seem to be the only one that likes it. I also like it with strawberries in it too…marilyn
