iPhone update

Another painstakingly typed entry from d's phone. I have more pity now for those who use shortcut netspeak. I'm one of them now! I am feeling better. I feel wiped out and 5 pounds lighter, but happy to have survived that bug. My sil and nephew were sick, too, so I guess it wasn't food poisoning. Still, nothing could have better prepared me to cut the last non-vegan foods (read as: cheese, ranch dressing, and milk chocolate) from my diet for good than praying for death as an alternative to constant, unmerciful vomiting. I could *feel* how filled with toxic food I wAs, could feel, quite viscerally that it is killing me every bit as much as it kills animals, and that my recent weight creep is nothing less than a last ditch warning to me to change. Consider me convinced! Now back to rehydrating and resting up for 2010. Miss you, dear friends, and am holding you in my thoughts for this new year of hope and adventures. Hopefully i'll be back with Internet and keyboard early next week!
