Uggggggghhhh...

I had yesterday off and what did I do? I spent most of it stretched out on my bed. Well, when I wasn't in the bathroom, that is. The only productive thing I managed to do was some grocery shopping. Otherwise, I watched TV, went online and caught up on the YouTube vids my brother's been sending me for the past couple of weeks. Actually, I found some very amusing animal vids (including Jack Rabbit Bauer) that I ended up sending him in revenge. At least, I think they were funny. Pretty much anything colourful that moves has been moderately entertaining since yesterday.

I wish this crappy stomach bug would go. The only thing I've eaten today has been a slice of toast and some crackers. I thought things were getting better last night when I started feeling hungry around 5:00 and could eat a bagel and some chicken soup around 7:30. However, my stomach didn't seem that thrilled with me afterwards. In fact, all I really wanted to do was go to sleep. Being stubborn, I stayed up till about 10:30 before calling it a night. I was awake for part of the night, but I think I must have gotten at least ten hours sleep, which is freakin' unnatural for me!

The only good thing about this is that I've managed to get some writing done (albeit in front of the TV) and I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be worried about over-indulging this weekend. At this point, I'd be happy to have any real appetite at all. It would also be nice if I could kick this thing by tomorrow because I was planning to visit my family. As I spoke to my mom on the phone yesterday, she knows about the stomach bug. However, I told her that I was sure I'd be fine by Sunday. Oh, well, maybe I'll make a miraculous recovery by then.

Uh, I'm not sure why I'm moaning about this. I was going to do this Ollivander's Wand Meme that I discovered on lazigyrl's and njc2007's LJs. Actually, I'll probably still do that as it won't require too much brainbower, etc. Uh, I'd still be watching TV, but I had finished watching the two Blood Ties episodes I had taped and there wasn't anything else I was in the mood to watch. BTW if you have a stomach bug don't watch the second episode involving voodoo and Vicky being cursed by a voodoo doll and experiencing symptoms that are like, oh, having a stomach bug. I also found that episode disturbing because there was some voodoo stuff going down in Mount Pleasant Cemetary and my maternal grandparents are buried there! And I thought having supernatural stuff in Toronto would be cool. *grumble, grumble*

Yeah, so I'm not really sure what I'm typing anymore. I think I'll go do that Ollivander's Wand Meme thingy. Mmm...colours...

Oh no! Feel better soon! *waves own magic wand* hmmm... this is supposed to be best for love spells, but maybe it might work for healing...

Ah, thanks for the magic spell! I am feeling a bit better today, though that might be due in part to the caffeine from my Coke Zero and the acetaminophen & codeine I took for my menstrual cramps. Of course, my period had to come last night, but as my mom pointed out, at least I'm getting everything out of the way. *g*

Ironically, my own wand is supposed to be good for healing. Fat lot of good it's me done so far! *g*

Awwwww. I hope you're feeling better. Try to keep up your fluids as least. And make sure you take it easy. Rest. It all helps.
:gentle hug:
I think I've been hit by your icon bug :)

Spoken like a true nurse! My mom (the ex-nurse) gave me the exact same advice! Well, thanks for the words of wisdom and the gentle cyber hug. I've done my best to follow the good nurses's advice. I've tried to keep up my fluids and have definitely taken it easy. In fact, my mom was trying to convince me to take a walk to my local convenience store to see if there was anything that I might find enticing in terms of supper. Meanwhile, I'm thinking, What? Are you nuts? You actually want me to leave my apartment?! *g*

I think I've been hit by your icon bug :)

Yes, I think maybe you have! However, your Elegant Father Dean icon is inspired! I think you could win more than a few icon designing contests with that! Keep up the awesome work! :D

It's good advice that's handy for many ailments. And some light exercise when you're feeling better (or the choice of something you really love to eat instead of same old, same old) can help too. :)

Thanks for the encouragement.

That's true. The advice works for a surprising number of ailments.

And some light exercise when you're feeling better (or the choice of something you really love to eat instead of same old, same old) can help too. :)

I ended up going to my parents' place yesterday, so I was able to combine a tiny bit of exercise (e.g. actually leaving my apartment) and eat something that wasn't the same old, same old. It did seem to help. :-)

Thanks for the encouragement.

No problem! I'm happy to be supportive if it means more cool icons! *g*

Get well soon, Sweetie. And, yes, fluids are very important. We can live without food for a while; but not without fluids. Oh, and if you are more than just nauseated, keep an eye on your electolytes too. An electrolyte imbalance can cause loads of problems. Just ask your Mom what to watch for and how to deal with that if necessary.

That's really good advice -- thanks! :-) Fortunately, I'm feeling much better. The appetite hasn't quite returned yet, but I've been eating what I can and drinking lots of fluids, of course.

[anitamaid.livejournal.com]

Hope your tummy's better now!
*Hugs*

[rusty-armour.livejournal.com]

Thank you! *Returns the hug* My appetite hasn't quite returned yet, but I'm doing much better than I was. I'm sure I'll be completely okay in the next couple of days.

Hi!

Well, the schedule has gone up now for the film fest, and because of conflicting work schedules, archae_ology and I are unable to go on the same day. So we're organizing 2 days, this Thursday and Saturday. So we were wondering which day would be the best for you so we can know how many tickets to get for each day. If you could get back to us as soon as possible it would be most appreciated.

Thanks!

Saturday would be the best day for me if at all possible. Here's my email address in case you need to get a hold of me quickly: armour_rusty@yahoo.ca (mailto:armour_rusty@yahoo.ca)

Thanks for organizing all of this. I'm really looking forward to it. :-)
