Calling Dinosaurs

I have spent most of the day today in the most miserable condition you can imagine...

I woke up at around 7 this morning and didn't exactly feel too spiffy but I couldn't put my finger on it. This wasn't too much of a surprise, I have been sick now about half the time for what seems like forever, since September when I got a cold. I got up and used the computer for a little while and just felt worse and worse so I finally ended up in the living room on the couch trying to be comfortable, but never quite getting there.

Then at about 11, this nasty nauseated feeling rolled over me like a bus, in like 10 seconds I had to run to the bathroom and 'call dinosaurs.' I hate throwing up, you feel that warm saliva roll into your mouth, then it's like you are hugging the toilet, your body convulsing every hold on your face spitting out either tears or whatever your body is trying to expel. After each wave of throwing up you sit there wondering if that's the end, or if there is more to come. Miserable...

After that I was a little better for a couple of hours, very weak, but not so nasty feeling. Then it came back, and I tried to sleep all day, but it was really an exercise in futility, I would nod off and wake up in a pool of sweat. Only about an hour ago did the feeling start to fade away.

So I just had some Lipton Cup O' Soup, and one Wheat Thin, that's all I've eaten in about 30 hours. I'm so fatigued right now, not tired, I laid around all day, but just really beat. I hope after a few hours of sleep that I'll be a lot better, one thing is for sure, I can't be missing work... so tomorrow I need to improve a lot.
