not the best way to lose the christmas cookie weight

It’s been a long, long time since I’ve been this sick. It started early yesterday morning, and right now is the first time since Tuesday night then that I’ve left my bedroom, sat upright, or looked at a book or a screen of any kind. I’m still not ready to tackle solid food…I’ve been subsisting on Gatorade since yesterday afternoon.

It could have been worse, though. I could have gotten the stomach bug from hell on Christmas Day, or even the day after (which is reserved for my annual shopping trip with Alex). More of us could have been sick at once. And on the bright side, the popsicle that I had at 3pm yesterday was without a doubt the sweetest and most delicious thing I’ve ever tasted. Like mana from heaven.

Time to invest in a large stash of hand santizer, I think, because I really really don’t want to see anyone else in my family go through this.

I know the feeling. This is my second sick day in a row. Yesterday was a total waste, I couldn't sit at the computer for more than 10 minutes without feeling nauseated. At least I was able to get some work done today, albeit not at work.

Glad to hear you're on the mend.

So sorry...

This same bug is floating around the Phoenix area. Our daughter, her husband and there daughter were so sick they missed the family Christmas eve party.

Just hope we don't share in the misery.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

And here I thought you were feeling peaked due to too many gross grammatical errors on library blogs. ;-) Hope you feel better! Try to keep up with your fluids.
