I seem to touch base here every 7-10 days lately. Ideally I would prefer to blog a bit more often, but there is so much else going on that I don't seem able to do it.
Hmmm.

So, the travails continue. My life has been extremely stressful this past month, what with writing the report, thinking about my dissertation proposal (on hold until this week), working really long hours and not exercising enough, and eating inappropriately.

Thus, I have been one with the enema bag over the past few weeks. My system is so unhappy with the stress! As well, we took a short trip to Colorado to see my brother and his kids - had a great time - and the travel on top of weeks of stress just finished off any remnants of regularity.

This week I have been talking with my friend Liz - and her travails remind me how it used to be. Glad I am still beyond that era - even with the setbacks of late, I am nowhere near the ill health of several years ago. Thank you Liz! And I know, from experience, that if you persevere you will gain health.

We are comrades on the road to perfect health!

The irregularity of late has been a combination of gas and blockage. The gas is the main culprit, acting as a barrier to elimination and requiring the power of water to release. I am determined to arrive at perfect health in the near future, so this little setback has not discouraged me. It has only reminded me of the irritability of IBS (pun intended)!

Today was a good day. After two days (or was it three?) of enemas and major gas release, I finally returned, even if briefly, to some regularity and the comfort that brings.
