A (not so) Happy 4th of July

I'm not exactly in the grilling, chilling, watching fireworks mode you'll find much of the country in on Independence day.  I'm more in the moaning, groaning, resting as much as I can state of mind.

Why?

Because I have found myself with a brutal gastrointestinal bug on this sunny July day.  I'll spare you the ugly details.  At least I can't blame it on bad seafood this time.

So while others enjoy their hotdogs and potato salad and fireworks displays; I will be exercising my freedom to consume sips of clear chicken soup and seltzer water between naps on the couch.

I do wish all of you a very happy 4th of July.  And I hope you're enjoying your day.



Maybe save me some watermelon for when I feel better?

Can I Have Some Crackers With My Whine?

Disclaimer: Today’s post is one big whine-fest. You have been warned…


I don’t feel great today.

My stomach feels sore – almost a bruised kind of feeling. Like I had someone using it as a punching bag all night.

And it’s making some craaaaaazy noises.

I feel nauseous off and on, but haven’t had any vomiting or anything. And let’s keep praying it doesn’t come to that. There are few things I dread in this life more than that. (doing it myself or witnessing someone else having to go through it.)

I have no appetite. Although I have forced myself to eat some Greek yogurt and saltines.



No fever. Although I haven’t really checked. There is a possibility I might have last night. At one point I woke up burning up and sweating a little. At the time I just figured the room was too warm or I was experiencing one of those middle of the night hot flashes that sometimes occur since I hit a certain age.

So, that’s today. I’m functioning. Trying to tidy up the kitchen. Doing some laundry. A little cleaning up in the bedroom.

Maybe I can convince the grand baby that a shared nap is a good plan for this afternoon while his mommy is at class.
