i came down with some kinda bug yesterday morning. i was fine when i woke up. i went to the bathroom and took my pill. The same pill i've taken on an empty stomach as directed every morning for the past 9 years. i decided i wanted a drink of water. i grabbed a glass and had a sip out of the tap. A half-hour later, my stomach was churning. i went to work, but came home about midday. i had a fitful nap. By evening, the issues had gone further south. i was chugging pepto and thought it was undercontrol. About 2:30 in the morning, i was proven wrong and awoken with a nasty surprise. Fortunately, the Walgreens across the street was a 24-hour and i got more Gatorade, some industrial-strength Immodium AD and a bottle of pet stain treatment.
i finally got a couple more hours of sleep curled up in the chair/ottoman with a few towels underneath me just in case. This being a Westin, the furniture is hipster cool, but not very comfy.
The thing that aggrevates me is that i didn't eat or drink anything strange the night before and had it been food poisoning, something would have happened much sooner. i suspect the glass.
