Life Lately (October/November)

October was probably the worst month of my entire life. I was so sick from the detox and just kept getting worse every day. I lost around 30 pounds and got so weak. I even went to the Emergency Room because I was so weak. Michael started working from home and started sleeping downstairs to be there to take care of me. I could barely walk. I was getting up 5 or 6 times a night with diarrhea, and I had such intense nausea. I also had a whooshing in my head...I think that was dehydration. I don't have very many photos because I was just so sick...and mostly on the couch.

Here is what is happening here lately:

...Michael put in the French doors

...Cam had another date with Kelly

...another date with Kelly

• Started taking Aloe Vera and Fiberzyme (digestive enzyme), and it really helped the post nasal drip and stomach churning...at recommendation of Health Food Store owner I am working with

Life Lately (September)

I became really sick during the month of September after the brain phase of the 90-day detox and starting back again in the body phase. I am not really sure much of what happened during this month. We also had massive wildfires in Oregon (burned over a million acres; over 2,000 fires tracked; over 3,000 structures burned; and 11 deaths), and we had to evacuate our house for 5 days (thanks to Kyle and Karmyn for a place to stay). It was really scary! The fire near us, called Beachie Creek, was over 200,000 acres and was the largest one in Oregon. We woke up to darkness and ash and smoke. So, between being sick and the wildfires, September was a blur. I have some photos that show what was going on in September.

Here is what has been happening lately:

...I did some yard work and pulled out some bushes and trimmed others

...I got the boys a shower caddy

...I decorated for fall

...I cleaned out the pantry - Joe and Brenda took it

...Imperfect Foods order

...everything in the pantry that I had to find a place to put

...more kitchen demolition

...the day before we evacuated for the wildfires

...wall completely down

...we woke up at 8 a.m. to darkness, ash, and smoke. We packed everything up in 3 hours and headed to Kyle and Karmyn's house

...at Kyle and Karmyn's house

...working away from home

...time with family while evacuated

...workouts still happen away from home

...hanging out 

...Michael and Cam traveled to work together on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from Kyle's house

...this was at our house the next day - so red and scary

...tired after the whole ordeal of packing it all up and leaving home

...more workouts happen

...sleeping at Kyle's house

...Lily climbed up in the suitcase on her own

...my 50th birthday happened during the wildfires (we will celebrate at a later time because I was also sick from the detox)

...we drove back home on Sunday, September 13th - my birthday - this was the drive home...so smoky

...Jar evacuated his cologne - he loves it so much!

...we had to clean our vehicles out because they were full of ash

...a week later we started to get some clear skies

...first time Cam spent time with Kelly (she is on the end beside him)

...Cam going on his first date with Kelly (Sept. 19 - Insomnia Coffee and Powell Books - 5 hour date)

...Michael at work
