Well it finally happened. The flu (after 5+years) finally caught up with me.
I actually am feeling so drained and sick that I called in sick to work....and I havnt done that in ages.....
So...after being told this afternoon that my shift would be covered...I went back to bed (and of course Scrappy joined me) and I slept (more like tossed and turned) until almost 8pm. I then tried getting out of bed...actually crawling.....and thought that I had better get something to eat....as with most flu-there wasnt much left in my system from the numerous night time trips to the "Lue". I had absolutely nothing in my cabinets (Talk about old mother Hubbard!!).
I sure didnt feel like going out anywhere to pick anything up...but what other options do I have....arrrg.....so I bundled up as warm as I could and walked across the street to my little corner grocery store. I love having that place so close....
I am walking down the aisles thinking what in the heck can I eat while "keeping it down"....
I ended up spending 20.00 on such comfort foods as:
-Frosted Mini Wheats
-Apple and cinnimon poptarts
-Chicken Noodle Soup
-Apple juice
-Twinkees
And a few other essentials...Nightquill being the biggest.
So not two and a half hours later I am back in bed after trying to gobble on some soup and some mini wheats....and I am "snug as a bug in a rug" with a few extra pillows, extra blankets on the bed, an electric heater on high (my apt only gets to about 65 degrees and that is a bit to cold form me right now in my delicate and fragile state).
I am sure sleep will come soon...with all the flu medicine that I have in my system...and I sure hope I feel better by morning. I have tons of reservations at the restuarant on saturday evening.
Time to sleep........
