Today was not a good day. I woke up just before my alarm went off (boy do I hate that), and while in the shower I found a knot in my neck. I worked it over under the hot spray of the shower and it got smaller but it didn’t go away. My neck was stiff but I didn’t think much of it as the boyfriend and I carpooled to work.

Once at work, I had my breakfast, a bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios and some Orange Juice. Nothing earth shattering, nor out of the ordinary. Right before lunch my stomach started to feel kinda icky. Yes I did say icky, as it’s the best way to describe how I was feeling. I decided to take a light lunch and I had some cucumbers and a tiny bit of dressing. About 20 minutes after I ate, a wave of nausea and a very upset stomach, not good. Within 30 minutes of that feeling, I had been to the bathroom 4 times. And not to throw up if you get my drift. It was about 1230 and I was not feeling well at all. I alerted the boyfriend to this, hoping he’d say “let’s head home” but completely not expecting him to be able to get away. I knew he had lots to do at the office. As I had feared, he was not able to get away but told me he’d go as soon as he could but that would probably not be until after 1600. Oh boy.

Well, in the next 3.5 hours, I hit the bathroom 8 more times. I felt miserable. On top of that that knot in my neck was killing me and my lower back was in spasms, it was not a pretty site, I am not a well man. We came home and I tried to have some soup because believe it or not I was crazy hungry, well that didn’t stay in long either and prompted about 3 more trips to the bathroom.

I parked my ass on the couch and took some Advil and Immodium. I’m feeling better-ish, still ravenous but afraid to eat. My neck and back are still out of whack and I think this evening will end up with me in bed early doped on some Flexiril, hoping for some relief. I sure hope I feel better tomorrow.

Thanks to my sweetie for taking care of me and thanks to Pinoyboy for telling me to shut up and take my ass to bed (which was only echoing what the boyfriend had been chanting in my ear for the past 45 minutes…).

Oh did I mention this post was done on Ubuntu Linux running in Parallels on my Mac? Sigh even sick gomos make progress.

UPDATE: It’s 1045. I woke my self up… I’m miserable, hot and restless… figured I’d check the Ubuntu updates and while there figured… why don’t add a screen cap of macboyx.com in Ubuntu?
