Vectors of Disease

We are all vectors of disease in the winter.  I am officially convinced.  I recently got over a stomach bug.  My last two or three posts happened automatically because I was asleep.  Recovering.

I took a trip in an ambulance.  I don't know what came over me, but I got sick.  Lost my lunch about 6 or 7 times.  Apparently it's not abnormal to faint after losing a lot of fluid in a short amount of time due to loss of blood pressure, and that's what happened to me.  I was seconds from fainting (good thing I didn't actually happen while I was alone in my apartment).  I'll post more about this in my Sunday Confessional tomorrow, but I want to be positive about it first.

From this crazy adventure, I learned 3 things:

I have an awesome support system!  My family doesn't hate me even though I got them sick.  My parents drove over an hour to take me home from the hospital.  Also, I have some concerned neighbors who are good in a crisis, and friends who chatted with me while I was feeling bleh.

PMS is real.  I was in such a crummy mood that I was crying over nothing.  Like, "I'm going to have to buckle you into the stretcher."  True confession.  Sometimes it is hilarious

My stomach deserves only healthy food.  For the rest of my life!

Message of the Day:  We all get sick sometimes.  Take the time you need to recover.  Your body will thank you for it.

...Or don't.  It won't change my reality.  Cheers!
