Well, I'm a little embarrassed but after fighting this pain since 1:30am it went away as suddenly as it came!


Thank you all for your suggestions and well wishes.

So happy for you

ER visits are never fun!

What about your gallbladder? Mine was so bad a cup of chicken broth and crackers sent me into an attack. I never realized how much pain I had all the time until I had mine out. Sounds like it could be gas pain too. Sometimes that is worse than anything!

Yay first egg for my flock! Goldie my BO layed this one yesterday, but no egg today

Congrats 1 of my 2 7-8 mo. old RIR's laid her 1st egg Friday, nothing yesterday but I saw her in the nest this morning

She laid one this morning, but not in the boxes, the first one she popped out on my back door step this one was in the shed on top of the coop, I think it's too crowded in the coop right now, I have three little Roos that are going to be culled and are not permanent residents, but I think they cause too much havoc in the coop at night. Maybe once they are gone she will use the boxes, but for now it's like an Easter egg hunt every morning!

Good Morning Fellow Texans!

51 degrees here, the moon is shining and the stars are out!  WOW what a site to behold!  In case you can't tell, I love mornings!

Have a great day!

Good morning to you too!  It was a brisk 47 degrees here before sunrise.  The sky is blue and clear.  It should be a lovely fall day.

It was 43* at our place this morning-still feels cold in our old 1938 house

I kept feeling like I needed to "stretch out" my abs so I stood over the counter, bent over and put my head down and let the gut hang.   Nothing happened but it felt better.  JaJeanPierre suggested something similar so she must have been sending my psychic instructions! 

I had a Lemon Zinger tea, took two aspirin, took my diabetic shot - blood sugar was 155 this morning which is a little high for me (I'm only mildly diabetic and can usually control it w/o meds) and I went into the bathroom to ralph and get it over with.   So I sat on the tub and waited....then I suddenly felt MUCH better!!  It was like a light switch.

The pain is GONE and the nausea is gone.

I have a high tolerance to pain but I was seriously thinking about going to the emergency room!

Thank you all for your suggestions and well wishes.

Glad whatever it was has passed

On our Texas Master Naturalist aquatic life field trip yesterday, we got up close and personal with more than aquatic life.

Used to see Copperheads all the time when we lived in NE TX but haven't seen one in years now

I 'found' one while clearing leaves out of one of our landscaped beds. I probably could have won an Olympic medal for the long jump. The pattern on them looks very cool like oak leaves. I did scoop him up in a shovel and relocate.

Yes, they really are well camouflaged in the dry leaves.
