Family ate at a very nice restaurant with a beautiful view of mountains, river, and eagles. I am vegetarian and had a salad and baked potato. The potato was charred black on the outside so I couldn't eat the skin (my favorite part). The shaved veggie salad was small but I think that is what had me running to the bathroom every little bit for four hours. I should have called the manager but didn't. I am sure it was the veggies that caused my distress - seems to be a lot of that (Chipotle) going around.<br /><br />On a happier note I found a squirrel that was flat on its little back looking like he had given up on life. My three dogs were just standing around looking at it. I called my husband and asked him to get the cat carrier and then I picked the little guy up and carried him into the sunroom. I placed a few peanuts in the carrier and covered it with a towel. I checked about 5 minutes later and all the peanuts were eaten. Did it once more and those peanuts were eaten too. I took the carrier outside and out the squirrel ran. He was kind of dragging a back leg that had a deep scratch but otherwise was fine. I too am the one who has to take care of dead animals at my house. One corner of my backyard under the fir trees is where the squirrels, crows, and cats I have picked up off the road and brought home to bury. I have even brought them home from downtown when a car hit them. I am a softy with animals because mine bring me such joy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09339749130099543012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-83283274236268782782016-01-30T22:29:41.489-05:002016-01-30T22:29:41.489-05:00Monica, thanks for the good wishes.

He was very defensive. I have no idea if anybody else got sick from eating there. <br /><br />I do hope next week is better.Betty Hechtmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00383156853864962696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-36013317992977245902016-01-30T08:23:12.333-05:002016-01-30T08:23:12.333-05:00May I add my wishes for a better week to follow su...May I add my wishes for a better week to follow such an awful one.Monica Ferrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03722045113589668612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-19362239882739238042016-01-30T04:20:18.811-05:002016-01-30T04:20:18.811-05:00Maybe the squirrel ate at the Mexican restaurant!
...Maybe the squirrel ate at the Mexican restaurant!<br /><br />All kidding aside, food poisoning can be very serious; so glad you're recovered now. You might consider reporting the problem to the restaurant. Maybe others had the same problem, and they need to know.<br /><br />Rest in peace, little squirrel. I always think of squirrels as indestructible lively creatures; it's hard to think of them in any other way.<br /><br />I hope next week is a wonderful one for you! Be well.Plannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00941066763360063332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-6894850975954746672016-01-29T22:27:10.788-05:002016-01-29T22:27:10.788-05:00Idosborn, It's hard to work when your stomach ...Idosborn, It's hard to work when your stomach is upset.
