wow, i feel SO much better today. the bug has vacated my system, and now i'm left to pick up the pieces. yesterday totally sucked, i haven't had a stomach flu in years and i'd forgotten how awful they are. i spent most of the day sleeping so i wouldn't feel the nausea. every once in a while i'd get up, barf up some purple gatorade, then back to sleep. my body felt like i'd been beaten with lead pipes, everything hurt.

D was such a big help through all of this. he bought me saltines, gatorade, and pepto... and then just sat quietly by, doing stuff on his laptop, while i slept. when i was awake, he was offering to refill the gatorade, bringing me saltines if i was hungry... he even gave me a massage to help my aching back. what a doll.
