Pip and Mommy out for lunch with Daddy.
Pip is a little under the weather today. She seems to be getting a cold virus and has an upset tummy.
Mist and Tabs have piano tonight.
I desperately need to purchase landscape logs to place under our fence in several places as Fernando is a snake and can get out of our yard easily. Yes, it is a tragedy that we spent $4000 on a fence and the Bleeping dog just slides his wiry body right under it!
As boring as it may be, I am still in recovery. Gastritis is not something that goes away quickly it seems. I thought I could stop my meds and be back to normal. However, that was not the case. The nausea returned. I did go for a great massage yesterday and discovered my back muscles have been seriously strained and have remained so since mid december when I did all that heavy lifting. Of course the massage seemed to cause my back to behave worse than ever: spasms that cause a wave of pins and needle to run down my arms periodically.
I am a wreck it seems!
How Zen is that?
But for all you souls out there that are on an ambitious treadmill of trying to be superhuman–let my tale me a lesson to you.

This crazy obsession with working my body to the max only proves that too much exercise does not make one immortal–it only drives one into the ground.
