I spent last week sick. REALLY sick. I only missed a day and a half of work, but I was really sick! I feel human this week. Yeah!
Friday was my birthday and I worked. I managed to eat. And then I laid on my in law’s bed while Brian watched the BSU game. And I was totally cool with that. It was what I wanted to do. I only wanted to do something that involved me not moving.
But I came home that night to find out I had WON SOMETHING! Something lovely! Something I really really wanted! And I won it on my birthday! WEEEEEE! Many thanks to Alexa whom I adore and also to Tania who’s wicked creative genius is behind all of this! Thank you so much!
And now I just have to decide what I want on it! CHOICES!

When tea ceased being my friend
Posted by nothingwitty in Sick on November 19, 2009
My body and I have had an understanding since I was about twelve that when I was sick I wouldn’t puke.
I threw up at least twice a day when I was pregnant, but I was totally cool with that. I got a baby out of that deal.
Yesterday at about 1 in the morning my body threw a perfectly good 18 year contract OUT the window. And I spent the rest of the night completely ill. Even chamomile tea was killing me to drink. I woke up about 5:30 from a cat nap and crawled to the bathroom, waking Brian in the process who then went to a convenience store and bought me Gatorade, which might have saved my life. I took Emma to daycare, went to work long enough to process a credit card and send a direct deposit for a client and then went home and slept for the rest of the day.
I called my Dr, who I really like and they said (well, the nurse:):) “Yup! Probably H1N1. We don’t want to see you unless you need an I.V.! Or you can’t breathe!” Comforting, what?
Today I’m better except for a dry cough and sore stomach muscles. I even feel a little bit hungry.
I’m alive! Yeah! I can totally see why this bug is SO bad for small children. Thank God Emma got the immunization is all I can say!
