to clarify a little about talking about # 2

Hey so that you all know and are not confused. I don't talk about poo with strangers. I don't say to the person next to me, "WOW that was the biggest greenest poop I ever had .....and oowwee the smell."
NO generally it is with people that I know, mostly people that I work with, and some close friends who I know have the same interest or pooing abilities that I have.

I rarely if ever talk about the color, the viscosity, or the smell. I might, however, done this at one time or another if it was quite remarkable. I do however talk about the frequency of my poos, the schedule that I am on for poos, and the greatness of the poo if it is noteworthy.

I will tell you how this talking of poo began. I was in the hospital once for a few days (15). I had a hard time having a BM there. In fact I went 5 days with out a BM. It was the most painful experience ever, I wanted to die. I was crying because there was nothing I could do. Suppositories were the only thing that worked. EMBARRASSING. I made a promise to myself to never let that happen again. When I am on pain pills I try to get off them quick...part of the problem. Since that time I count my poos. I have quite a few in a day. Some are shocked but it is true. I poo a lot. 3-5. yes 3-5 times a day. not a week a day.

If I get off schedule I know it. I think about it. I think that more people should be as aware of things like this. If you know what it looks like or the frequency of it. You will be able to determine a lot about your body if something starts to go wrong. Doesn't your doc ask about poo and urine when you visit if you have a prob?

Poo is alright. I try not to talk about it with strangers. Just kidding I don't unless they bring it up. customers at tables at ppine have done this. If they bring it up it is fair game.

Thank you all for your input. I will try to keep me poo knowledge to those who appreciate it. You know who you are. Most importantly I know who you are.

hmmm normal

so I just want to pose a question to everyone out there in blog land. Poo

Do you think it is normal or abnormal to talk about it?

I wan to know your opinion.

Commuting

Hell yeah....I have been commuting. I just want to give it a try and i think that it will help me get up so that I am not always running from my car to the time clock.
Well in my minimal few days of travel I have witnessed something odd. I has to do with people and public transport.

I have a link to a blog about people and what they read in SF. Well if I were to do this blog in SLC it would be short. On one day in, one car, just looking at about 12 people....that is two rows of people. I witnessed 3 book of Mormon readers. Yes they were marking and taking notes also. So you can see how the blog would be boring...it might be interesting to see how often they read it and if they read any other types of books.....HM an idea?
Any way on this particular day sitting across from one of the gentlemen (yes they were all men) there was another man reading a book....you will love this. The title of the book was "Group Therapy in the bed room" seriously where else. I was dying...but then it was like 0620. I just wanted to do that but it was really early and I didn't have coffee.

Wait for more....everyday is an experience on TRAX....really a whole new world of people take public transport.

new job

i got a new job. I have been wanting to do this for awhile, but lacked the motivation to do anything about it. I started applying in May and had some interviews. One went really awesome. I didn't get that job but she gave me a great reference. Told me that she would have loved to hire me but they had only one opening and I just didn't have enough experience. She asked if she could give me a reference or a recommendation for future position in the hospital. Hell Yeah anything to help a girl out. I got a call like 3 hours later setting up another appointment. I got that job. Seriously it is awesome when people give a little more effort and I totally benefited from someone giving a little more.

I will be working as a CNA at the University of Utah hospital on 6 north. I am taking a pay cut. I have to commute. I have to work a lot more and probably a lot harder than I do now. I am so excited about this. REALLY. I think it couldn't have come at a better time.

It is crazy how things just fall into place when you are ready to move on or just ready to step into that next phase of your life. I guess that is why it takes me so long to do anything I wait until it falls into place rather than making it happen. Well I guess I am making it happen just by doing the things that I am doing.

KILLING ME

So I have been sick for about 4 days.....yeah some may say that isn't that long. It is killing me. I won't go into details about what it has been like. Just know that I haven't been able to eat and and I am starving. Seriously it took me 3 hours to finish a subway sandwich. It shouldn't ever take that long. What's worse than that....it comes out way faster than that.

So I thought I would be able to handle a bike ride on Wednesday...stupid...stupid...stupid. When you are feeling down and all you want to do is be active and you have no energy do not ride the Temple quarry trail......you will feel like an ass. I had to walk stuff that I never walk. It took me forever and someone was waiting at the top for me. It totally sucked. So instead of making me feel better, I just felt worse.

I now know not to do things when I am sick. It is killing me 'cause I have been trying (and succeeding) in getting out and running/biking every other day. But not now. It drives me mad. But I know if I take it easy that I will be able to do it again sooner than if not and I will feel lots better.

I think tomorrow I will be able to be active again. I will try not to push it. I can at least eat today. YEAH. But the energy level is still really low and it is used up quickly....lots of sleep, water and good nutrients.

Does anyone else ever feel this way?
