So, unlike I had expected, I did not die last night. I'd say that's a pretty good thing. Too close to Christmas to die.
Today was eventful, if by 'eventful' you mean 'sitting on the couch knitting a few dishcloths thinking anti-puke thoughts. I managed to keep down 2 bottles of water, 2 slices of toast, and about 27 cheez-it crackers between 9pm last night and about 7pm tonight, so I decided to go for a peppermint hot chocolate and some soup. I have to say that I am fully regretting the decision to try and eat. I should have stuck with the hot chocolate alone. Maybe had another cracker or two. I guess we'll see what happens in the next few hours and decide from there.
Scott has been the best care taker ever through these last 2 days. My mom was asking if he was working today, and I told her he was working on and off, but mostly waiting on me. Scott's reply to that was that "the pay sucks, but the benefits are worth it." He sure is swell. :D He has been exactly what I needed in every freak-out over the last 48 hours. Holding my hair back, holding my bucket, rubbing my back while I yuke. Really. This is love. I can't even put into words how thankful I am to have him with me. Even when my head isn't in a bucket.
Which, I'm glad I don't have any blood in my eyes from all this nonsense. I do have extremely sore abs. It feels like I did crunches all day yesterday. What a work out. I don't own a scale, or weigh myself more than once a year, but if I did, I'd bet I've lost at least 5 lbs in the last 2 days.
In other news. Christmas eve is tomorrow!!! I'm totally excited about it, and I hope that I feel better. I can't wait for everyone to see what I got them. My mom will like her present the best, I think. Everyone else pretty much knows what they are getting, mostly cause they asked for it. I asked for specific things too, but such a wide array of specific things, that I'll be excited to see which of them got chosen.
That's really all I have for today. However, I would like to share a picture of one more family member that has shown huge love for me through my sickness:
Those are my legs under her. She has been sooo close (and usually ON) me the whole time I have been laying sickly on the couch and in the bed. She's a very good leg warmer, and also has been good at making sure I'm still alive. Even though she is usually asleep on the job. :)
So... That's all for now. More tomorrow!
Show us a sign that the holidays are upon us.
This was from Turkey day. But, it snowed again yesterday AND today. A lot.
I am not a fan. The weather here is so far off. Just 3 days ago, they said it'd be 50 today. And what is it really? 28. BURRRRR. (And pout.)
Not a thing to say today. Nothing too eventful is happening.
Worked on the pinwheel blanket today. I hope for it to be done tomorrow.
Yep. That's it.
