Balmy & Beautiful

Today was balmy and rainy, but for some reason, I found the weather beautiful. If it weren’t for the orange leaves everywhere, it would have felt just like the beach after a storm. The foliage has been just gorgeous lately, and I’m hoping this warm weather will encourage the leaves to stay on the trees for a few more days because I’m headed to the mountains the weekend after this one!

Despite the downpour earlier today, I still took Jon to soccer this afternoon. I usually catch up on blog reading during practice, but my phone died today and I was left alone with my thoughts. My stomach was also growling, even after my usual afternoon snack. I haven’t updated you guys on my stomach issues in a few weeks, which is a good thing because, if it hurts, you know I’ll probably complain about it here:) I finished the antibiotic last week, and although I doubt my stomach will ever feel completely wonderful, I think it might be at least a little bit better lately (knock on wood). It’s also hard to tell because I ate so much cheese and buttercream this weekend, but it’s definitely not cramping like it was when I visited the doctor back in September.  The Doc recommended a special probiotic (apparently the only one that has research supporting its effectiveness?), so I’ll be starting that tomorrow.
