I almost went to bed at 3 pm, as I had not gone to bed or slept today. Ron begged me to please try to stay awake as he was at his sister’s and insisted when he got home he would make supper.
I struggled to stay awake and fell asleep many times at my desk until Ron got home. I helped him prepare supper while falling asleep. He did offer that if I couldn’t stay awake, he needed me to try to eat a quick sandwich. But I was able to help help by peeling the potatoes.
Ron made the four pork chops we bought today with shake and bake that I love, and he made brown gravy to go with the potatoes. And he made corn. I was so excited that I took one pork chop and a huge amount of potatoes and gravy. A big mistake but I was looking to what I most enjoy.
I cut up and ate about a total of about five pieces of the pork which was grand. But I wolfed into the potatos. I ate most of them but soon ran out of steam. I only had a couple of small spoons full of corn. Then I sat there trying to make myself eat more.
Ron walked by my office and noticed I was struggling and asked me how I was doing. I explained to him how happy I was for the meal and how good it tasted … but I was already full. He looked at what I ate and was thrilled. I was like why, I took too much and did not finish it all. A sin in my childhood that could get you beaten.
He picked up my stuff as I helped and told me “Scottie you ate and ate a lot for you at this time of night”. “I was very afraid you would just go to bed with out eating like you have done for weeks”. He was very happy I ate. But I am so tired I have to go to bed. He is taking care of everything because when I tried to help I almost fell down. I wanted to do comments today and to tell the story of Ron’s catheterization, but instead I got two days of the cartoons / memes roundup done. So if I fail tomorrow at least they will be there for everyone. Again much thanks to Ali who has been so wonderful not only with her posting, comment answering but also in sending me encouraging emails. I would have closed the blog if not for her efforts. Hugs
Scottie's Playtime 
I don’t know where to start. I guess:
1st, I’m with Ron: you ate, and you ate more than usual-great! And you’re not throwing up or suffering from heartburn; also great! Sleeping afterward is fine. You’ve been fatigued for a while. Sleep and let your body digest what you’ve fed it, and send the fuel around your body where it needs to be. I’m not calling you an infant, I’m just saying that that’s what babies do when they’re infants; they burn an amazing number of calories even though they sleep quite a bit; after eating, they sleep so their bodies can distribute the fuel.
Also, one time I got really ill from flu, was comatose for a week, and when I came to, would sleep after eating, because eating just wore me out. But each time I did, I felt better than the previous time, and could get more down, and do more after awakening. So you’re good, and that brings me happy tears.
I’m pretty sure you don’t want to close the blog, right? And you’re welcome. I know I’m not posting all the things you post, but I’m trying to keep a balance of politics/government, fun, and resources and/or news for LGBTQ+, as I did when I began here. Just tell me if you want something posted, though.
I think that’s it. I need to get my 5:00 steps and take Ollie outside for a bit before supper. I’ve been very happy to read this! You guys can do this.
