Woe!

Augh. I'm fighting the stomach bug that's going around.

I had to work today so I sat there, popping chewable Peptos and imagining a giant hand squeezing my guts out each end.

My usual method of treating tummy bugs is make it a siege war. I just cut myself off. Nothing goes in, nothing goes out. Which was sad since there was the breakfast potlock. The worst symptom so far is the fatigue. I've spent most of the day just sore and exhausted. It felt like a Dramamine haze, without the relief from queasiness. Nothing on the chewable Pepto box mentions marked drowziness, so I'm gonna blame it on the bug.

I went home and went to bed until Mom called and then slept again until a cat decided all that was needed to make my butt perfect was some clawmarks. Now I'm up, watching Ghost Lab, and swigging ginger ale. I may go back to bed at any moment now.

Aw, not again. I hope your job has good health insurance because it seems to be high risk when it comes to catching viruses.

Does starving the cold really work better than orange juice and chicken soup?

Orange juice and chicken soup for the tummy bug just means I puke orange juice and chicken soup. Water and ginger ale is the way to go. When I started feeling better, I nibbled on some popcorn, and that stayed down. We'll see how the rest goes.

Get well soon...

Good tv and lots of water, that is all I can recommend.

And lots of sleep! I slept all afternoon yesterday, all night, and a lot of this morning.
