Greg and I met with a lawyer today. Our financial advisor urged us to get our "estate" in order. The beautiful, wood-paneled bookshelves lining the wall behind the reception desk caught my eye. They were filled with rows and rows of legal books. We were escorted into the firm's swanky board room. There we were introduced to an estate attorney. It was super educational! We asked lots of questions and left with a questionnaire to fill out so that he can help draft our will and family trust documents. I was fascinated with his stories about other clients and potential situations that can come up in estate planning. It was actually really fun.
We left the law firm and picked up pizzas for the kids. Then Greg and I met Stalee, Clint, Sunee, and Kyle at Pizza Factory for a triple date. We were all thrilled that the Westons were in town for the weekend! While the kids played at home, we sat around the table at the restaurant and laughed and talked our hearts out. It was great food and great company. Stalee and Clint came back to our house after dinner, and we were able to visit a while more.
While we were talking, my stomach started to rumble and hurt. Eventually I went back to my bathroom. I have had a few nightmarish stomach incidents over the last six months or so, and this turned out to be one of them. I get such intense stomach cramps that I start to pass out. So, I was back in my bathroom in a cold sweat, fighting for consciousness, while trying to stay on the toilet. Lovely, I know. At one point, I was able to send a quick text to Greg. He told the Westons good bye for me and sent them out the door. I tried to go lay on the carpet in the closet, but every time I stood up, I became so faint that I couldn't even see. All the blood had drained from my face, I was moaning in pain, and my stomach hurt so bad!
And then, just a short time later, the feeling subsided, and I was fine. I changed into my jammies and climbed into bed. We can't figure out what causes these intense, but short-lived, bursts of stomach pain for me. The last two times, I had eaten squash. It definitely seemed related to that. This time, I had ordered the Vego pizza. It didn't have squash, and I normally eat lots of veggies, so I'm not sure what did it. But it scares me because it is SO painful!
I was happy to climb into bed because tomorrow is a big day. Stalee and I are going to attempt a long run together. Our first one. I hope I feel okay.
