My Health
The customer sent me home at 10:00 AM on Friday, so I got to see the doctor after all. She told me I have a stomach virus that will likely take three to five days to work itself out. She also prescribed some anti-nausea medicine for me.

I managed to make it home, but I wasn't feeling so hot, so I called mitch37 for a lift to CostCo where I could get my prescriptions filled. I was really flagging while I was at CostCo. I picked up some fruit juices, and had my medicines in about fifteen minutes. While waiting in line to check out, I felt woozy, my vision got fuzzy, I heard a rushing sound, and then mitch37 said my name and everything snapped back into focus. I realized I'd almost passed out. I asked him to watch the cart and went to sit at one of the tables in the fast food area. I was sweating uncontrollably, just like I had been at work. So, it seems that the sweats was a sign that I was exerting myself too far. Good to know. We stopped by PathMark for Ginger Ale and Nilla Wafers (my go-to foods for when I get food poisoning). Got my purchases home and passed out on the couch for a while.

Saturday was mostly a wash. I didn't have any appetite, but managed to force some Nilla Wafers down, one by one. I realized I needed more food, but most of the people I'd call were at my friend J's wedding. Eventually, i thought of yduras, who came to my rescue with broth, a loaf of bread, and saltines. I've been making a dent in them.

The worst of the business was the fact that I got no sleep at all last night because of fevered hallucinations, and the fact that I can't stand through one entire shower without passing out. I think if I smelled better, I'd feel better about myself.
