October 20

Today was a really good day. I ate breakfast without any "stomach" issues. Took Paxton for a 20 minutes walk then had a shower. I decided to bite the bullet with the "jinxed" sweater and go down to Lettuce Knit to see how to get it fixed. I stopped at the Hallmark first and picked up a card. I spent about 1 1/2 hours at the knitting shop and now I know I should have taken a snack with me. Once I got home I took the nausea medicine again and then ate lunch. I probably should have just eaten first. So.... I ended up AGAIN taking a 2 hour nap (due to meds). Paxton just curled up with me on the couch and stayed until I woke up. He's such a good pup. I spent a few hours outside knitting in the sunshine. I was a beautiful day today. I think I have figured out that I need to eat small protein based snacks about every 2 hours to keep something in my stomach. From now on when I go out I will be prepared with peanut butter and crackers. I also discovered that I really enjoy pinto beans straight out of the can. They tasted good and seemed to work great as a snack. Steve is pretty grossed out by it (beans are not on his most favorite list) but I'm happy that they taste sooooo good to me. Took Paxton for another walk this afternoon with a neighbor. Another neighbor brought chicken piccata for dinner tonight. It was all good. I actually ate the entire meal but was really full afterwords. Things are going well, I think. If I can get this minor episodes of nausea figured out things will be great.
