Trickle Down Theory

A much better day than yesterday. Stomach pain persists; that is to be expected, I guess. However, much less time spent sleeping today. Rain meant that my planned walk to the beach for recuperative exercise never happened, but instead I walked up and down the ten flights of stairs in our building for one hour. I also managed to type Year Two's reports. One other little victory was (stop reading now if you are of a delicate disposition) managing to poop after six meals without the aid of a laxative, something of an improvement over the previous nine meal hiatus with the aid of seven laxatives. We're getting there.
