April 18, 2009 Saturday Night

Got up this morning with more of the usual bowel problems, irritable bowel, spastic Collen, and hemorrhoids from all the above. Little more severe today. Sometimes feel I spend most of my morning in the bathroom. Thankfully I have a magazine rack in there. Finally took a pain pill and a hyoscyamine .375 MG to settle things down. I know this always works as a last resort. By noonish I felt a little better so we took a drive in my Mustang Convertible to a discount home furnishing store to see what they had in bathroom lights, mirrors and cabinets. Tony always drives which I tend to like especially now that I do not always feel my mind is working 100%. Ended up buying a real cool mirror light combo I have never seen before. It is unique. Got some fast food at Taco bell and took the long way home to enjoy the 65 degree weather here in Milwaukee with the top down before it gets cold again tomorrow. Sat outside and enjoyed the deck for a while till the wind shifted off lake Michigan around 4 pm and the temperature began to drop. Tony fired up the gas grill and made burgers to go along with the pork and beans. Even made some scrambled eggs to go on the burger. Yes you read that right, if you have never tried it, try it. Make a burger and put a scrambled egg on it. It brings out the flavor like you would not believe. One of my favorite restaurants makes their burgers with an egg made to order on top of the burger. Add barbecue sauce and a little bacon and I am in heaven. First time using the grill this summer. Neither of us were all that hungry from the late Taco Bell lunch. I have to eat dinner around 6 pm ish so I can take my third round of pills for the day that need food and still have an empty stomach when I go to bed around 10 pm and take my Atripla, which should be on an empty stomach. Been watching stuff we DVR'd over the past weeks.
I think today's bowel problems were punishment for eating too much fruit yesterday that I bought that morning at the grocery store. I love fruit if it is fresh. Grapes, apples, oranges, strawberries, blackberries, mixed sliced combo of melons, and an occasional banana. If it is old or bruised it is then good enough for Tony. LOL. I wish it was not true but he will eat anything. So he knows the fresh stuff is mine. So I always eat too much right after buying it because in a few days it just won't be 'fresh enough' for me. Apples and oranges are of course a different story.
Tony is already snoring on the couch and it is just 7:36 pm. Guess I'm in for a fun night. He misses so much TV and then the next episode comes on and he wants to know what happened and how did he miss it. You were sleeping! It has started to drizzle now and the weather does not look good through Monday. Rain tomorrow and Monday.
