I caught some kind of stomach virus that's been going around and had a completely miserable day yesterday. I got up, I felt ill, I hugged the toilet for a few hours, dragged myself to the urgent care clinic (it was a Saturday, of course), had to sit around for two hours to be told I had a stomach bug and to achieve my initial objective which was to get a prescription for Phenergan in suppository form (I took a pill and it came up soon after). Having obtained that and some Gatorade I retuned home. Around 7 last night I walked to the corner store (quite literally just around the corner of the building) and was so dizzy I feared I'd pass out in the elevator coming back up. I think I only slept at most two consecutive hours in the last 24, having to wake up intermittantly to hit the toilet. Thankfully I haven't thrown up since 1 a.m.

which brings me to work on Thursday when I left early; basically it was just a slow day and I was tired, so I wasn't feeling incredibly great. One of the girls asked me what was wrong and I said, "Oh, I'm just kind of tired and dragging." "I hope it's not the flu," she said. "Oh, lord, I hope not," I responded. Technically it isn't the flu, it's a stomach bug, but there you go. I can't even watch food commercials on television. Ick.
