And I Was Down Again…

While I’m upright for the moment, I thought I would dash off a quick post followed by some food for thought.

You see, I had started feeling better Monday then I woke up Tuesday with the worst nausea and headache (weirdly only on the right side of my head 🧐) and I was down again for the next two days. I have moved between the couch, my bedroom and outdoors (dog’s gotta do what a dogs gotta do 🤷🏼‍♀️) that I’m sure there are permanent body shapes in the couch and bed. As for the outdoors, it’s amazing that I didn’t fall down the stairs.

It got so bad that I begged my friend to pick-up some anti-nausea medicine because I couldn’t stay up long enough to even think about going to the store.  Thank the Goddess he came through, the nausea is under control, and I can eat and actually drink some water today. I think when I started getting water into my system, my head finally stopped hurting, because the meds were of no help whatsoever!

I can’t remember the last time I was this sick, for this long. But my ear is almost cleared up at least. The worst part is you feel like you should be able to push through this kind of illness, and your body says NOPE! I’m truly hopeful that I’m finally on the mend because I can’t take another day like the last few (although I did get through the first half of Leverage: Redemption so YAY).

Now on to my food for thought– it sucks being single, living alone and sick as hell. Not that my ex was much help when I was sick, but something as simple as taking care of the dogs or making sure I had food made a world of difference. So, I ask you to consider calling/checking in on your single ill friends every so often just to see if they could use some help, maybe a store run for soup (or just to make sure they are alive 😁). Just tuck that nugget into the back of your brain to pull out the next time you’re worried about your single, sick friend.

If all goes well tomorrow, I will not recap I Love a Mama’s Boy, one of the best yet 😆. 

Note: I love that word flags gotta, how is that not an approved abbreviation by now 🤪.
