After the flood.

Well, this was quite a week. I got very sick on Mother's Day with some sort of intestinal flu and spent the day sleeping. I woke up Monday morning to find the overflow from the Merrimack river to be two feet from our back door. Our condo association brought sandbags to put around our bulkhead, but we were told that we would definitely lose our basement. This was very upsetting as we have a finished basement full of electronic equipment. However, our condo association brought in contractors who built a sand dam at the edge of the property which kept the water from getting any higher. We never got any water in our basement! We lost power for a while and spent the week without water, but we were very grateful that we never got flooded. The best news is that through it all, I stayed on my food plan!

Happy Mother's Day

I got great Mother's Day presents today! My daughter and son sent me beautiful flowers and a box of organic fruits, vegetables and greens! I will be able to cook a healthy meal and decorate the table on Mother's Day. The day will be special for me even if they can't be with me.
