The Amazing Ali

Where do I start? (LOL - that's always a clue that y'all in for a long one, eh?) We all have our stories, our trials and tribulations, and after this, I'm off to drop some words to dear ol' (shoot, I forgot the name - cozal?) who spent last night spewing slugs and chaff from alternate ends. This ain't no garden party we're at. Anywhere else, "the morning after" certainly wouldn't be referring to a descriptive, post-parasite night.

So, Ali, my dear. You've really been going through it! I wonder if when you are all done, if you will be but a shadow of your former self, albeit brighter and sparklier (if that's possible)? You've been passing so much stuff I think any day now, you're going to post that you're empty. And you've braved it like a trooper, an "on the scenes" reporter, huddled in a war zone, content with discontent in order to be right there in the moment, reporting on the action.

Fortunate for us, not so fortunate for you!

You've even had the opportunity to start your own speciman zoo - kinda like they do with rodents or reptiles for 4th grade science class. Toilet pics? Under cellophane? With actual specimans neatly labeled beside the pics? You know, this stuff is so repulsive and yet so fascinating, it's almost a GERM of an idea (AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA - okay. Bad joke). You may yet end up the weird one in the family - and everyone ELSE will have to parasite cleanse too, just to appreciate the full scope of your science project.

So it sounds as if you are definitely achieving a high level of health, as witnessed not only by your LACK of sugar craving, but the insistent return of it, which no doubt will be short lived. Hang in there and be tough. (That's the one thing that has kept me from eating THIS thing or indulging briefly in THAT thing - even a turkey and swiss on portugeuse roll - parasites like the bread? THEN I'M EATING SOMETHING THEY DON'T LIKE!)

Ali, hang in there. I don't know if your ride has been tougher than anyone else's, but I sure you know your ride has been tough. I'm sure, behind your brave face and sense of humor, it's often been tough and alarming. But remember what Neitchze said, "That which does not kill you makes you stronger." And once you've done the tough first one, the periodic maintenance will be a breeze. YOU GO GIRL!!!!

HAPPY DANCE TIME!!!!!!!!!

Many blessings to you!
