I swear, every time I go to NJ, I get sick. I had a terrible head cold for Thanksgiving and now a stomach virus. Christmas day was fine up until dinner. Then it went like this:
6 pm eat dinner
8 pm feel really bad
10 pm feel worse
11 pm go to bed
3 am get up to vomit
330 am try to get back to sleep
430 am get up to vomit
5 am try to get back to sleep
545 get up to vomit
6 am try to get back to sleep
7 am get up for the drive back. Sweetie loads car because I'm not able to do anything.
8 - 12 noon feel so nauseaous and have the worst back pain while riding in the car
930 am Sweetie, who is driving, says he's feeling nauseaous
1201 pm arrive home and sweetie makes a b-line to the bathroom and commences on his round of vomiting (I am so impressed that he was able to hold off the nausea for 3 hours not to mention drive!)
12 - 1215 pm I unload car 'cause sweetie's obviously incapacitated.
1230 Sweetie calls his friend we were supposed to meet for lunch today (Monday) to give our regrets
1235 to 345 pm we both crawl into bed and pass out
345 pm wake up to pee and notice I broke a blood vessel in my eye, I vomited so violently. I think that's why my back is in pain.
The rest of the daym there was more sleeping followed by watching shmaltzy movies with little energy. Followed by some toast and ginger ale. Followed by more sleeping. I'd say most of yesterday was spent sleeping or near sleep.
Sweetie got on an airplane very very early this morning to fly to Phoenix and watch the Rutgers bowl game. I hope he is mostly over this bug or the trip is sucking right about now. I don't think he'd have gone if 1) he hadn't already bought the tickets and 2) he wasn't meeting his brother there. Maybe he would. I wouldn't have, but I don't have as strong a system as he does.
I just ate some toast and yogurt and do not feel particularly good. I was supposed to be at work today, but am not. And no one else is there, so I have no one to call.
