Memorial Day

This year, Memorial Day seems to have a lot of meaning to it.

Based on what I saw on Easter weekend, I'm sure outdoor recreation places like the dunes will be packed. For some, it's a time for leisure and doing activities they enjoy. For Hollywood, it's movie blockbuster weekend (think X-Men 3).

I know some that are overseas (one just got back). My Dad was Air Force in the 1960's, but was never sent to Vietnam.

So I can say a silent thanks for those that gave their all. But I do that anytime I read the latest casulty reports.

Again, for those that gave everything, and to those that they left behind, I respect your sacrifice. I will live the "American dream" and appreciate the freedom I have in being able to do so.

over?

I think it was a stomach bug of some sort.

It finally dawned on my yesterday when I was feeling crappy and having symptoms similar to my celiac, that I had chills. Sure enough, I had a little fever going on.

Fever broke late yesterday afternoon, and didn't come back.

Ate some of the same foods that I had been eating when I was having symptoms. This time, no symptoms.

Just in time for a road trip to San Diego. I stocked up on gluten-free pretzels, breakfast bars, and L"a"ra Bars. Wish you could find some of this stuff at gas stations so I didn't have to bring the arsenal with me before I hit the road. But at least I won't go hungry either.

Boyfriend gets Memorial Day Monday off too (wasn't sure for the longest time). So it'll be nice to spend a couple days with him. Maybe we'll go to the beach or something.
