A Rotten Day, Pretty Much

 When Maddie woke me up this morning for breakfast and insulin (well, certainly the first;  the second less so), I felt a little off, but thought maybe it was the suddenness of the little paw on my nose.  But then I woke up a little bit later and my stomach was churning.  Within the hour, I was throwing up so much that I was carrying one trash can down the hall to my bedroom and switching to one in there.  I needed the fan to blow on me for a few minutes so I could gather energy to sprint to the bathroom when needed.

Tap, bless him, kept trying to sit down with me, but it was a good while before I stayed in one place for long.  He had never seen me sick like that and his face was, "What is all that/Something is definitely wrong here/Can I help, but don't really count on me because ALL of this is very new."  This isn't Tap, but this is very much the look I was getting:

"I care, but I'm kinda freaked out."

I've no idea why what's going on is going on.  There's a feeling faint headache that's bothered me all day, and of course I feel completely hollowed out.  No more vomiting, though.



So, it's been a quiet, unpleasant day.

Oh I'm so sorry. It sounds kind of flu-ish to me. Feel better soon!

That's a bummer! You can take your pick of viruses going around, too! Glad your stomach is calming down at least, and you have a sympathetic nurse!

Oh, no...that's awful. Daughter just got over her first ever bout of Covid and it started that way. A day of severe vomiting and then just feeling rotten. No fever. No sore throat. No cough. She tested on a whim and.....positive.
Hope you are feeling better soon.

Very Exciting

Another little ornament. My favorite thing is the one white stitch standing for reflection. But, bigger than that even, (literally and figur...
