When I was younger

When I was younger I always seemed to have trouble with my stomach in the summer. I am back to that again this year, and I am no way young.
I may have gotten dehydrated again. Or maybe the foods I ate yesterday were too rich. At any rate, it is not great. So I am just doing little bits here and there and staying cool.
Maybe I ate too many sweet treats.
So today I am sipping lemonade, and ginger ale, and other clear liquids. I ate oatmeal for breakfast and that was good.
I am appreciating the discussions that are here. I will likely be around quite a bit, unless I go nap.
A nap sounds pretty good to me right now.

When I was really young I'd get the liquid trots at the start of summer, but I realise now that it was because I suddenly had a lot of fresh fruit (instead of canned). When I was about three, I couldn't wait for the currants to get ripe and ate a bunch of green ones. I was ok until the middle of the night when I threw up.

Once my dad's parents brought us a large grocery sack full of apples from one of their trees in Arkansas. They were on the small side, but it was such a treat to have such fresh fruit. No one was paying me much mind so I ate three of them. Man!! I had the worst belly ache you can imagine.

I am finding that I take a little nap during the day and it gets me through the slump.

A thirty minute nap is often just the ticket for me.

It took a day or two for my stomach to improve. I cannot remember exactly what I ate. I also know I am eating a greater variety of raw vegetables, and that can throw me off.

You are right, the hot weather means that many of our staple meals are quite unappealing. I agree about the nerves as well. Sometimes I have that problem.

I was hoping to have that kind of a lazy summer, but it just did not happen. I am reminding myself often to get drinks even now, a week later.

I got over it, and I have kept really busy.. Today, Saturday July 16, is one of the more energetic days I have had in about a month. I am glad to be doing okay. Thank you for asking.
