The Post That THANKS You!
First I would like to wish you all a very happy Lag B’Omer!!! (I’ll tell you my exciting plans later- or maybe not at all!)Now that that’s out of the way, did anyone notice that I blog a lot? A real lot. You might think that I don’t have a life. (And that’s a good guess!) Well, there is another reason. Basically, blogging is the only thing I have strength for. You see boychiks and maidels, my thyroid packed up, went south and didn’t even send me a postcard. I am the proud owner of the title of hypothyroid woman. Now for those of you who read my Marvellous Magnificent MeMe, you’d know that one of my phobias is getting fat. I have gained 7 lbs from air, because I hardly eat but since the thyroid controls metabolism, I ain’t burning nothin’ off! I have reoccurring nightmares where the fire brigade has to remove the side wall of my house and remove me with a crane because I am too fat to leave the house on my own. (Shudder)
I usually live on adrenalin. I used to give the Energizer Bunny a run for his money. In fact, he was eating my dust. Now, I have no energy left, there is no adrenalin.
In other words:
My get up and go had got up and gone.
I have lost my mojo.
Elvis has left the building.
The Doc says that I have to be patient for a few more weeks until the meds kick in. Bezras Hashem it will. In the meantime, I’m bloated and lethargic. Kasamba with no ‘samba’. My exercise sessions are far cries from the manic outlet they used to be. There is no more kick in my kickboxing, I prefer my pillow to Pilates and I’m using my cross trainer as more of a Zimmer frame.
Every day is the same, I keep thinking that today is the day I will feel good, but it isn’t. It’s hard on Hubby and the kiddies because it’s not like I have the bubonic plague or anything discernable that they could see (like boils and such). They just have to take my word for how I’m feeling. But I think they are suspicious…
However through it all, and excuse me here because I am getting a little emotional, you have been here for me, writing wonderful blogs and leaving lovely comments on mine. I felt like a virtual human!!! (Get it- virtual?) I just wanted to thank all of you for being here when I needed you. Sniff.
All of you write so well that I feel sincerely humbled. I almost feel like smashing my computer keyboard and using the keys as scrabble pieces.
If I never blogrolled you or put up links to you, it’s because I am technically challenged and I don’t know how. (Does that show my age?)
Come on give me a group hug!!!
Therefore in your honour, I have written and dedicated a poem especially for all of you:
If my bathtub were full of ink
And all my makeup brushes- pens,
I wouldn’t have sufficient supplies with which to THANK YOU enough,
If all Hubbys air miles were good wishes
And all the hotel soaps in his suitcase- appreciation,
I wouldn’t have sufficient vibes with which to THANK YOU enough,
And if all my discarded chocolate wrappers were roses
And my blog posts- orchids
I wouldn’t have sufficient fauna with which to THANK YOU enough.
I really mean it.
You’re the best!
(Oh no, maybe my hormones have gone as well…)

Well, while you are taking it easy at home, around the jblogosphere you're living it up! :) Love all the comments around the place, and your posts, always very well written and entertaining and a unique take on life! :) Great poem.
But Refuah Sheleimah, hope your get up and go returns to you soon!
(I blog a lot because my current job is not really very taxing or interesting!)
(If you want to put up a blogroll or whatever, i am happy to help... just email me.)
I just came across a comment from you in another blog and wanted to ask you something about that. Would it be possible to email? (my email is on my blog profile.)
When I read your answers to the meme, I though it was typical Kasamba humor, I can't and refuse to believe you're the kind of person who let herself get down by a couple of extra pounds!
This said your poem was cute and I thank you too for your comments and fantastic posts.
adorable post. hope you feel better fast!
You mean I'm not the only one who brings home those little soaps for his wife?
We're like a great big family Kasamba (and I can't believe the samba could EVER be taken out of you)...
:)
I love your self-biting humor.
The fatigue must be the season.
Hope you feel more oomph soon!
WOW!!!
What FABULOUS comments to come home to after spending the day following a group of seven year olds frollick on the british coutryside through howling wind and spitting rain!!!!
I was so exhausted that I ended up falling asleep on the bus ride home.

My attempt at poem writing
(to the tune of - the candy man from charlie and the chocolate factory)
Who can take a blogspot
Who can take a blogspot
Make it lots of fun
Make it lots of fun
Hysterical for absoulutely every one
Kasamba can
Kasamba really can
Although it might sound a bit delerious
She is actually very serious
And makes the world look good
Just the way it should!
Lol ...okay - you are not really delerious, in fact you are quite the genius - BUT I NEEDED A RHYME!!
Take that zimmer frame and dance the blues!
We're always here for hugs.
Sorry to hear re your Thyroid- FYI I got over something similarly exhaustive and lethargic once- and you will too, P.G. (See, even my inner frummer agrees with me)
PS theonlywayIknow- not half bad! Especially as she often sounds delirious!
Kasamba-- a couple pounds-- that's more for your kiddies to hug. Anyway with your spirit, they'll vanish like a bad first date in no time at all.
Thank you for making my day-- every day you blog or say hello on my blog. It's nice to know there are other people in this world-- even if they are virtual.
This post...sheds so much light on you...on blogging..
It's wonderful..entertaining..touching..just wonderful..
Youre wonderful..
:-)

Plus- NEBECH he just called and he is gutted. (Ha!)
Hang in there, it will get better.
Jack: Thank you!!!

My sister has hypothyroidism and as soon as she got on Synthroid....bam, she lost a bunch of weight and had more energy.
