That's great to hear! Now be careful to not over exert yourself...you'll still be weak and it is oh so tempting to finally be able to do something before you are truly better. I do that and it lands me back in bed...yeah...do as I say...not as I do...LOLOLOL

Hey...I'm sure you got some reading material for your new KitchenAide and a catalogue of attachments...might be a good time to relax and read up on it

I ate a meal! Up until now I was lucky to be eating 200 calories a day. But I just ate cottage cheese, fruit and ravioli. Oh, I was so hungry and it was so good to finally feel like eating. But now my tummy is doing flip flops trying to figure out what to do with so much food. Eh...but it'll get over it.

The not being able to eat thing was the real worry for me. No food means no energy. Heck, last night my laptop started feeling like it weighed 500# and this morning I could barely lift it from the night stand.

But that meal should mean that I'm on my way to leaps and bounds of getting better! Ok... *huff* *huff* That little run took away what little energy I'd built up

Only a couple of days more is all that I'll allow for a weakened state. I have lots to do. Next Saturday is our BIG BASH. We're having our 15 year anniversary vowel renewal and a bonfire to celebrate DH's 40th birthday this year. Too much to do and I'm not good at delegating without helping!

Well sounds like we'll have 9 more ducks arriving on Monday. All fully grown. A variety of breeds but including "the Aflac duck" as my mom puts it (pekin).

Thank you RTG, I am now craving zucchini and pecan pie!

One of DH's friends gave us 3 Jumbo Pekins this morning. Here is the new Quack Gang:

Hardy is in LOVE. Smokey is ticked off since she's not the biggest duck anymore. Laurel could care less. And we threw Fudge into the pond today to prove to him that he is a duck and not a chicken. He loved it and now believes us when we say "Fudgie, you are a duck not a chickie" These three new ducks don't have names...not sure if they'll get one or not.

I would love to have ducks DH says no

And here's my new KitchenAid:

I am so jealous! I want one maybe if I beg my DH for one

It absolutely surprises me how HEAVY it is. Or maybe it's that I'm still weak from a week of consuming virtually no calories and being sick

DH is excited for the attachments that are coming later this week, one being a grinder. His response was, "so you'll make me some bologna salad then?"
