you haven't missed a thing.

lapis_lazuli022Tuesday morning I felt iffy, tuesday afternoon I felt lousy, and tuesday night the stomach flu hit full force. I curled up in bed with my laptop, staying mildly connected in between drifting off to sleep for five minutes and waking up just in time to run to the bathroom. Finally around 3:30am my stomach stopped rejecting stuff, though the high fever lasted well into wednesday, and I didn't go to work.
I managed to crawl back in today, though I wasn't good for much. Still not feeling good for much, but at least I'm feeling more human again. That's a start.
My comfort food when I'm sick, really sick, is orange gatorade. Powerade is fine too, but it has to be orange. Not having any of either to hand, I decided that orange jello was the next best thing. Luckily we have plenty of jello in the house and it's the easiest thing to make, even when you're shaking and you can't see straight. I've been pretty much living on jello for the last two days. Jello, water, tea... spelt toast occasionally, or a handful of spelt pretzels. I tried soup broth for lunch today and my stomach didn't like that too much, so it was back to toast and jello for dinner. Which is fine with me. If my stomach isn't complaining, neither am I.
I watched a West Wing disc last night, so I can finally return that to Netflix. I was actually a little disappointed at the end of the 4th episode that my marathon was cut short and I didn't have the next one to continue on with. I also know I'm not feeling well when West Wing makes me cry. After I was done, I carefully stacked both remotes (TV and VCR) on Matt's nighttable. There was an early morning crash which I identified as remotes falling to the floor (kitten-induced), but today I can only find one of the remotes. No clue where the second one's gone off to. I've searched the whole room, save for moving the bed away from the wall. That can wait till Matt gets home tomorrow. I did move the nightstands out, though, and I found my lapis pendant that I'd been pretty sure had been knocked down behind. So the exploration wasn't a total loss.
I'm feeling a little under the weather still, and I haven't been sleeping well, so I think I'm going to go crawl back into bed and see if the tiredness hits me.
