Adios, Ibuprofen and Bulging Muscles

Day 7 Vacation is over, zip, through, kaput, done! My time had ended. It was time to brush the sand off my feet, wave good-bye to the dolphins and whale, pack my junk up and start my journey home. The time with my friend was incredible….we talked, laughed, cried, shopped, drank, ate, sun bathed, slept and raised money for an oh-so-worthy cause!
So after a bumpy start; seems during all the talking, laughing, crying, shopping…..I somehow misplaced my ATM card. My car is on E and i have $2.00 on me. I made a phone call to a friend to help me locate the nearest bank, took care of business and made my way home. You know, no matter how wonderful and relaxing a getaway is, it seems you are more wiped out at the end. I hate that. I hate that vacations have to end.
All the while driving home it’s in the back of my mind that my significant other had gotten very ill while I was away. If I had been a good girlfriend I would have gotten home sooner but he reassured me he was o.k. Now…..we have a problem here because it is now obvious that his definition of o.k. and my definition of o.k. are in separate categories. He had had an upper G.I. bleed from taking too much Ibuprofen. ‘Nuff said, I will spare you the details….he is “o.k.” though. A bit on the pale side….
So I was hoping I would lose 20 lbs. prepping and participating in this walk. No. If anything I gained (muscle weighs more than fat, could it be?) Could it be muscles are bulging out my gut and butt and that’s why my clothes are all on the snug side? I have gone through the whole ‘everything’ must have shrunk, shrank, shranked, gotten smaller. Nobody would buy it. I do know I am a sleep eater…. this is a new hobby of mine. I am on a new medication which apparently gives me a burst of energy sometime between 1:30 and 4:30 a.m.
I have managed to rip my nose ring out, call my son….just because. Peel and eat a banana, removing it through a 2 inch slit on the side, devour pudding and last night I ate a box, not a bowl, a box of Fruit Loops! I need help!
I got a new toy I will share about in the next day or so. No, I did not get it from the naughty lady party but still the same I am very excited about it!!! Woot-woot….stay tuned!
