I Spoke Too Soon

I thought my new year was turning out pretty good so far...that is until my stomach ache hasn't quit. I was thinking it was from the lack of sleep and too many fun drinks New Year's Eve but now I'm convinced I have the dreaded stomach virus. I would like to say I contacted it from one of my students but since I haven't seen them in 2 weeks, it's not them. I couldn't even share popcorn with Tom last night- popcorn is one of my favorites and is one of the sections on my food guide pyramid! Ha! I went to bed with no dinner and woke up about 2:30 with sharp shooting pains and nausea. While I was camped out in the bathroom, Maggie decided to steal my spot. She always does this however I can usually get her to move but not this time. She ended up sharing my pillow and at one point I opened my eyes and her nose was touching mine! I couldn't get that girl to move so I moved to the couch and have been here since. I try to sleep but then I feel sick again. I'm ready for the virus to be gone and my appetite to return. I guess for now, it's a breakfast of 7 up and saltines! Yum!!
