Ka-blooey

My plans went all ka-blooey last night. I had a pounding headache Friday morning, but I took some Aleve and it went away mostly, so I went ahead with my plans for the evening which were to visit Maryann with my friend Darlene.

Darlene drove. We had a late dinner and ice cream cake to celebrate Dar's birthday. We watched North and South - so awesome. During the movie, I started feeling REALLY sick, I mean REALLY nauseous and crampy. When it didn't go away, I finally confessed how awful I was feeling. Maryann gave me a choice of meds. (She has what appears to be a DRUGSTORE in one of her cupboards.) Keep in mind, I didn't have a car there and it's an hour away, so I couldn't just leave, and I didn't want to ask Dar to leave early.

Went to bed pretty late, since there was really nothing more to do for it, but didn't sleep until nearly 5 am. Tossed and turned because of the cramps. Slept restlessly for a couple hours and then Dar and I came home. The roads were yukky, it was snowing, and 16 degrees. When I got to HER house, my van wouldn't start. Her gallant husband got it going for me and I finally got home around 11:30.

My sister Debbie was supposed to visit today and we were going to go to a game night at another friend's house. I called her and told her not to come. Right now Bob and the kids are at the Game Night! YAY. A quiet house!

I slept for 3 hours this afternoon and I just ate a yogurt. I feel better than I did last night, but still not very good. Bob called my Sunday School Superintendant and left her a voice mail that I would not be there tomorrow, although I haven't heard anything back from her, and of course I have the curriculum.

I guess I'll lie low. I don't even feel like sitting here at the computer. I am going to go lay in the recliner and veg in front of a movie, I guess.

I pray that neither Maryann or Dar's family gets sick because of me. I would not have gone if I knew I was going to have a relapse! I hadn't felt the stomach stuff since Tuesday.
