Gurgle

My nearby upscale grocery store is now cleared out of Canada Dry in green bottles, I brought home the last three an hour ago. The waves of nausea no longer hit me, but I am weak and my bowels percolate at random moments to remind me that I am not in total control of things yet. Walking shifts all the tubes and the gasses and liquids churn to find up.

I've called in sick. I am not strong enough to face students, or even stand for 50 minutes at a time. I don't know which school is ground zero, but I know that neither school needs me like this.

My body wants to hibernate, which is both in keeping with norovirus as it is depression. Today I allow the sprawling naps. I know that the physical solutions for depression nap urges ( outdoors, dance, yoga) go against what healing my innards need now.

Ugh. nausea is the worst. I'd rather be in pain than be nauseous, it's such an awful feeling. (Actually, I'd rather not feel either one, but I'm sayin' if there's a choice...)

That's a large part of the reason why my baby factory is closed for business. Being nauseated for weeks on end was horrible.

Anyway, the point is I hope you feel better soon.
