Darn it. Thursday night I was suddenly struck with an immensely awful GI bug. By 3:00am I nearly called someone to come take me to the ER. But I have a prescription for Zofran, the only anti nausea medicine I can take, so I just hung in there. I could hardly wait till 6:00 when the little restaurant downstairs opened. I called down and they met me at the door with four cans of Sierra Mist and a container of ice. Once I started sipping on that, things settled down. I stayed in bed all day yesterday. Fever, chills, headache. Yuck.

It really sucks being sick. It really, REALLY sucks being sick alone. I slept most of the day. Remember when your mom took care of you when you were sick? That cool hand on your forehead was heaven! I only got sick a couple of times when I was with Mr. Virgo. He didn’t have any patience when he was sick, but he took good care of me when I was. It’s times like this I just want to go home….wherever THAT is.
