I am an East Coast expatriate hiding out in the Midwest...

I am an urban gal living in the suburbs and occasionally hiding in the country

I am a yoga practitioner, fitness enthusiast, believer in the mind-body-spirit connection...

I am a mid-life "revert" to the Roman Catholic faith in which I was raised and which has become an enormous source of support, encouragement, inspiration, and joy in my life...

I am a mom, sister, daughter, and wife...

I am an explorer; adventurous and curious about the world and people around me...

I am educated in the formal sense but I gain insight through everyday living...

I created this blog at a time of great fear and apprehension in my life. I chose to sustain it because of the discoveries about myself and the world around me that it has revealed.



What you can expect to find here:
  • the documentation of a love-hate relationship with the greater Philadelphia area
  • reminiscing about the good-ole-days (the 80's!)
  • complaints about my various ailments and injuries, both real and imagined
  • pictures and stories of gardening, decorating, shopping, sewing
  • my love of irony
  • links to kooky news stories
  • way too much scatological musing for sane people

    Tea, Popsicles...and Amoxil

    Sooooooo...

    Last night after dealing with a 101 fever and BAD throat pain I suspected that I was not dealing with a mere "cold."

    A quick trip this morning to the 24-hour acute care center confirmed it: Strep Throat.

    Delicious!

    The good news is that the doc put me on a mega-dose of antibiotics for today and then back to two per day for the rest of the week. I already feel alot better, but am still contagious until this time tomorrow, so hubby has confined me to my room, lest he or kiddo catch the Strep Bus to Paintown.

    Lesson Learned: If it hurts and Advil doesn't help, go see a doctor!

    Oh, my word, please get your rest and get better! Strep is nothing to sneexze at (sorry). Let hubby wait on you, hand and foot. Give him lots of assignments.

    After a course of antibiotics I usually take some probiotics (acidophilous, etc.) when complete to replenish the good bacteria ...
