Ryan and I are both afflicted with a horrible stomach flu that has had us both down and out all day. We believe his brother and brother's girlfriend passed it on, but who knows where they picked it up. I know she wasn't feeling well Sunday evening, and Monday they were both so sick that Ryan had to leave work to take them 7-Up and crackers. I woke up today at 3am so nauseous and ill...and sent an equally-sick-but-not-as-nauseous-as-me Ryan out to the store for necessities. Suffice to say we both missed work, as Ryan's problems are double my own.

Totally do NOT feel guilty about missing work. There was no way I could have stood up all day long, much less packed anything. My arms feel like noodles and I'm really, really dizzy. Also, probably they do not want us there if we are what is apparently virulently ill. I am hoping that it only lasts a day though. I...do not handle stomach flus very well.

Trying to eat a little more than Sprite, Gatorade, chicken broth and crackers, as I strained my jaw being sick and have been running a low grade pain/fever all day. Have ventured into a very small, very mooshed potato and a Diet Coke in the hopes that it will raise my blood sugar/caffeine enough to make taking some Aleve possible.

Why don't they make clear sodas with caffeine? They really should.

illness, facepain, bawww
