Enroute to Dallas yesterday I came down with the flu, making the return trip longer and more painful than it needed to be. This is a nasty bug, involves puking and running noses at the same time. I made the round trip and fell into bed.
The roofers showed up at around 8:30. I still have the flu, making the roofing expereince a lot longer and more painful than it needs to be. It's now 12:10 and I'm losing my delight at the percussive noise-like drums on my rooftop.
Mom went to have lunch with Uncle John and take him the Valentine cookies. I do feel guilty for not going, but bringing in a bug to an institution full of residents is probably bad form.
I don't have any gatorade and I don't feel like leaving the house, and I certainly don't feel like asking for help. SO-I combined honey (sugar) and vanilla soy milk (some protein) and I'll be darned if it didn't settle my stomach and make me feel a little better. Now, I'm not claiming this is a miracle cure, anything on a completely empty stomach would probably make you feel a little better, but it did work by staying down and and by supplying energy.
Yikes, the roofers have taken a lunch break-time for a power nap!!!

So sorry we don't live closer to each other becasue the last time Neil was sick, I brought home two giant bottles of Gatarade and his mom brought over two giant bottles. They were on sale at Tom Thumb - 2 for $5. Neil drank about half of one so we have a lot of extra Gatarade lying around. Feel better soon.
rest.
and feel better soon.
'cause I said so.
I used to always keep bottle of Gatorade-single serving though. I can't face an entire giant bottle all at once...LOL.
