As you know if you’ve been paying any attention, I am going to be happy. I AM going to be happy. Really happy, no matter what or how hard it is or how bad I want to drink gin out of the dog dish.
This week, I am exploring the happiness involved in stomach flu. There are many things to be grateful for when you have stomach flu, although I admit it took me a long time to think of them.
1) The rumbling pain reminds you that not only are you still alive, but that your pain sensors inside your intestines are still working.
2) The best thing of course, is the fabulous amount of weight you can use. Never mind all that scientific clap trap about water weight and putting it right back on. It comes off. That’s all that counts.
3) Stomach flu leads you to contemplate the state of your Last Will And Testament. Did I ever finish it? Where did I put it? Did I take out all those people I’m not speaking to anymore?
4) This most recent bout also made me evaluate and appreciate the efficiency of my bathroom air freshener.
5) Last but by no means least: stomach flu brings the same result as certain relatives: The world is so much brighter when its gone.
