things i have learned, thought, or experienced in the last 24 hours:
- eating mac and cheese that you made two days ago (with iffy milk) is never a good choice
- when the cold sweats start that mark the coming of being sick to one's stomach and i am on my way home (from wherever i was, the coffee shop in last nights case), every red light along the route will inevitably turn red turning my 5 minute drive into 10 or 15 minutes, causing me to panic a little
- when i thought i was finally done being sick, and i was incredibly thirsty and dehydrated, drinking 20 oz. of water like champ is not the way to settle your stomach. it will just come up again within five minutes.
- never put a garbage bag in the garbage can that i am getting sick in because then i will have to dispose of it when i feel i am unable to move off of the bathroom floor, at least with a bagless can you can wash the damn thing out
- very few of my friends will interrupt what they are doing to come over in such a time of need to bring me gatorade and just sit with me, trying to soothe me (thanks miss j, i owe you one)
- lying on the bathroom floor and falling asleep there for several hours is not comfortable. i will be incredibly sore in the morning and for the entire next day because i am not the athletic sprite that i once was.
- nothing cures a caffeine headache except caffeine which i was not willing to give my body after the night i had.
- veggie broth tastes better than chicken broth.
- missing one day of work is okay, especially when i pulled on clothes to go in for five minutes to hand my long-absent-recently-returned prof an abstract that he needed to send to a conference tomorrow
- i wish i could get away with staying home tomorrow but i know i can't. i'll have to drag myself into the lab because i have mountains of projects that need to get done. my prof frowns upon delaying due dates. i wonder if he'll be merciful in my case.
- even though i slept all day, i'm still exhausted, my body is still sore, and i still hate the way gatorade tastes.
i'm going to vegetate on my couch now because i am so sore even my hair hurts...
