Lord Voldemort Needs Rest

Mist and friend as Lord Voldemort. She and her friend have so much fun dressing up together. They've decided to dress as wizards every Friday at school. Mist has such a fun sense of spirit--chip off the old block, I dare say!

So...I write tonight because I have spent the entire evening in my bed. Mistaya is at yet another sleep over party, Peter brought the little girls home pizza and I canceled everthing off my schedule and lay here--head on pillow...practically in a coma. And just now...I am starting to feel alive again. I was a mess of exhaustion: getting up early, little sleep, going hard working out and working on my papers etc.
I had even stopped eating. Every once in a while I loose my appetite and start to get too thin. I know I have crossed the line when the bath tub becomes uncomfortable because of the bones in my butt. That is what has happened again. So, it is so important for me to get my appetite back.
I think how it happened is that I eat a low sugar diet (I believe this to be of optimum health) so I naturally keep quite thin on this. And then I developed the mother of all bladder infections and was in bed with a fever for a week--no appetite. And it just kept going....
The good news is just moments ago, I could raise my head off my pillow and felt hungry! I ate some left over spaghetti squash au gratin I had made last night, and some chocolate for dessert.
 I feel much better. Rest was so needed. When I am stressed I tend to just want to be out, working out: running, hiking, dancing , etc. But what I really need is to just lay flat on my back in bed for a night and talk to and or see absolutely NO ONE!

This rest will be short lived, I am working for the rest of the weekend starting tomorrow. Peter will take Tabs and Pip to Kamloops to pick up our new LG washer--my dear, sweet parents found one on sale for us and bought it before it could be snapped up by others! Mist will be home afternoon--and she will entertain herself as I write like I've never written before.
