On Wednesday night at around 3am I woke up a little sick to my stomach and woozy - little did I know that it was down hill from there. Y’all know that terrible stomach virus that is going around? Yeah.. I got it. I’m renaming it “the toilet hugger” - because that’s what I did for TEN hours. Believe me- If we had medical insurance my sorry ass would have been at the doctor praying and begging for that fabulous shot that stops you from hurling up your toenails for hours on end. I was so ill that the husband had to take Munchkin to the bus stop and pick him up because I couldn’t move from the floor where I had crashed out earlier in the day.. I’m also NEVER eating Jamaican food again- since I seem to have no taste for it after the previous nights ‘festivities’.
I thought I was going to get a break and sleep last night.. but Munchkin ended up with the bug at around 730 at night. Poor thing was sick until the wee hours of the morning - the husband took over around 3am when I was walking into walls and blubbering like an infant due to lack of sleep. Fortunately it was all over by then and we were all able to sleep well into the afternoon..
Today it seems that we’re done hugging toilets and trash cans and are doing better with the exception of a little fever here and there. Both of us have no energy what-so-ever and have been living on bland foods like toast, ginger ale, and chicken with stars soup. Munchkin and I hung out on the sofa and watched Charlie & the Chocolate Factory (with Johnny Depp), Godzilla (the newer one with Matthew Broderick), and a few Star Wars movies (episode 5 & 6) most of the day.. and I’ve tried to catch up on a little blog reading when my stomach has allowed me to sit upright without feeling nasty. I’ve got about 150 feeds to go through and a mailbox full of comments and emails - so I’m going to be a bit behind for a few days with correspondence.
Take care of yourselves out there in blogland !!
