My Big Goal

[hummingwolf]

is to make it through the next 24 hours without vomiting. So far, so good.

Of course I also had the goal of avoiding [repulsive TMI deleted], but obviously that's not gonna happen.

There's enough canned soup, PowerAde, and brownie mix to get me through a few more days of this, so finding enough fuel for the body isn't an issue. But I have so much that needs to be done, and it's not getting done if I'm sitting here [TMI deleted].

Enough whining for now. Other people are sick too and probably don't want to be reminded. Time to go read today's news headlines!

This is exactly why I love you.

(Yes, I fully realize how twisted that statement is, and it deserves a better explanation, but if I explain myself I'll have to get all sappy and icky and thus sabotage my own point.)

(I am sane, really. Just because I'm incoherent doesn't mean I'm not sane.)

Heh. Yes, that statement really is twisted, though it's nice to be loved.

I'm not sure about the sanity part, though.

Anyway, let it not be said that I don't set high goals for myself. Today's big goal is even more difficult than I thought at the time of writing the post, though it's still not impossible to achieve. Yet. I'm scared to eat anything resembling lunch. Eep.

I don't have anything to recommend to you, except willpower, but that's another one that causes people to question my sanity.

Someday somebody is going to find out what I've been talking about and say, "Hey! Dandelion was right! Whaddyou know!" But that's just conjecture. It's quite possible that nobody ever will.

Heh. I came to the conclusion a long time ago that sanity is overrated.

First, huggles and Harvey snuggles to you.

Second, some years back my doctor advised me that anytime there was throwing up and/or other indelicate digestive disturbances, it is a very good idea to restrict intake to clear liquids - broth, weak tea, jello, 7up... anything you can see through for about 24 hours - in order to give the digestive tract a chance to heal. So, without knowing more details about what's going on with you right now, I'd have to say that your instinct to not go crazy with the lunchables is a good one.

Third, if we can't whine on LJ, where can we whine?

Thank you for the huggles & snuggles!

I often feel a little better if I've got something solidish in my stomach, so while I'm *mostly* on clear liquids, I may add something like mashed potatoes & skinless chicken (which was actually my breakfast this morning). I made it through those 24 hours without vomiting, so yay me! Still kinda fevery today & not quite sure what to eat when the mashed potatoes run out. Maybe I can get a housemate to drive me to the store later, since walking 2.5 miles seems like a really bad idea for now.
