terribly early in the morning

A Quick Update

We had a hugely busy weekend.  On Friday, we took Eli and Spiderman to the veterinary ophthalmologist for a checkup (for Eli) and an exam for Spidey.  Eli is doing fine, and Spidey’s story is on Leigh-Ann’s blog.  He’s going to have laser surgery as soon as the Wee Paws donations can cover it.  Then, hopefully, he & Greg will go to their new adoptive parents.

On Saturday, my brother flew in from Sacramento…and boy were his arms tired.  Heh.  He did Bio Cranial on us twice, separated by my nephew’s baseball game (for him and my parents) and walking through Whole Foods, Barnes & Noble, and Relax the Back for us.  Then, on Sunday, we went over to my parents’ house for more Bio Cranial procedures, this time separated by brunch at the Suncoast.  We haven’t been miraculously cured…yet.  From how we feel, we’re detoxing all the icky stuff out of our bodies, so we’ll wait to update for a little while.  We both definitely feel better in the neck area - much looser.  I’ve been waking up in less pain than normal, I think.  Although, I’ve had a nasty sinus headache that’s been hanging around since thunderstorms rolled in last week.  It comes and goes, but I can mostly control it with Sudafed, although this morning I needed two Excedrin to help knock it out.

We’re still off the artificial sweeteners.  The Stevia sample bottles came and we realized that the flavors aren’t strong enough to add to plain water.  It tastes like really sweet water w/ the tiniest amount of flavor.  So, it’ll be better to use the Stevia flavors in other drinks.  The plain Stevia has been good in our drinks instead of sugar.  Also, we’ve tried some herbal teas from Adagio that we’ve made into iced tea.  The Fruit Tea Medley is a hit.

Okay, back to work.  More updating within the next couple of days.  Oh, and Leigh-Ann just finished Harry Potter, so now it’s my turn to have the book all to myself.
