Falling behind on the blog

This has been such a crazy week. I have really fallen behind on my blog. I don't know where to start.
I went to a SCORE Women's Breakfast (there were men there, too) on Friday. It was a great networking event plus I sat with a woman I had met through Working Wardrobes (www.workingwardrobes.org) when I first began www.giftsfromadistance.com. Small world - indeed it is.
Along with many other Americans, I suffer from diverticulitis due to having diverticulosis.
For those of you who are blessed not to be cursed with that, here is what it is. Diverticulitis is swelling (inflammation) of an abnormal pouch (diverticulum) in the intestinal wall. These pouches are usually found in the large intestine (colon). The presence of the pouches themselves is called diverticulosis. To date, I cannot figure out what sets it off so, tomorrow, I am going to begin an "elimination diet" - much the same kind of diet someone suffering from allergies goes through - in hopes of determining what makes me feel bad. I am hoping to chronicle my diet in hopes that if someone else who reads this blog also suffers from diverticulitis, they will gain some insight and some benefit from what I am attempting.
