I've been delirious with the stomach flu

It's been a sucky couple of days, my friends. I'm just now actually eating some pretzels and flat gingerale - I had three pieces of dry toast yesterday and absolutely nothing on Monday... my last full meal was around 5 on Sunday. I feel so bad calling out of work, too. That's like the worst thing to me. I feel like I'm letting people down, but on the other hand I really don't think they'd appreciate me spreading this virus around.

I'm still kind of out of it. It's Wednesday, right?

What's always helped me when I've been sick with stomach viruses is take tablespoons of sugar syrup. Like, the juice that's in canned peaches.

FEEL BETTER, YOU. Your main responsibility is getting better - don't worry about work.

And yes. It is Wednesday.

It's, like, nourishing and hydrating or something like that. It always helped to calm my stomach down when I was sick as a kid.

Ugh, that sounds unpleasant. I hope you get better soon.

And yes, it's Wednesday.

I spent most of today asleep, and I felt good enough to have a little bit of dinner tonight, so that's something!

Well I'm glad you feel a little better..

I was totally just about to deny it was Wednesday. Then I thought about it. I suck at days of the week.

Oh, me too, even when I'm not ill *nods*

I'm kind of ridiculous about it though, I'll know what day it is in the middle of July but not when it's like the middle of March and I've got a History essay due...

Ah, I'm sorry, hon. I hope you get better soon! I had the same type of thing and I ate some crackers today as my first food item since last Friday. Flus are just awful.

Oh wow, you poor thing! *sends e-soup*

[identity profile] skoosiepants.livejournal.com 2009-01-22 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
thank you, hon!

*hugs* Hopefully you`ll get better soon! And sadly it`s not Wednesday anymore - in Europe... :)

thank you! well, I guess the good thing is that it's a day closer to the weekend :)

Oh sweetheart. I'm so sorry that you're in pain.

If there's anything I can do, you let me know, okay?

*squeezes very gently*

thank you, hon! I actually ate a little bit of some actual food for dinner tonight, too :)

Don't feel like you're letting people down! *pokes* your sick, it's understandable. Get tons of rest and feel better, then go to work...and maybe possibly spread it around just to get revenge muwahahaha kidding~ Hm... did you go to the doctors?

I didn't go to the doctor's, but only 'cause I figured it was just something I had to get through - like a couple days virus. I think I'm going back to work tomorrow - I really hate taking time off!
