Egads, this has been a bad week. Stomach bug for about three days starting Friday. So, silly little me, I decide that for the first meal I’d felt up for since I started spring cleaning on my GI tract, I’d use the canned ravioli from Aldi’s a friend gave me for babysitting. I forgot - Aldi’s and I have a love-hate relationship. I love the price, and in general their cheaper meat products make my gout flare up like you wouldn’t believe. I hadn’t been able to sit, for the pain, since then. Getting to the bathroom was a special slice of Hell. I’m limping better, now. And I can actually sit down long enough to score this silly thing tonight. Again, my apologies to all involved. ---
