Down With The Sickness
What I did over the weekend was mostly sleep. Friday seemed normal, except that Alison was picking Nina up from her mother’s apartment rather than me showing up and keeping Nina company until Alison showed up. Alison got off work early because she went in early. Not a normal thing, though.
Saturday, we woke up and Alison made scrambled eggs and biscuits. I ate mine, but didn’t feel too good afterward. It was mostly flu like body aches and bloated gutness. Alison and Nina went grocery shopping without me while I slept. They got back and I slept. At some point, when I was awake, I ate two bowls of Rice Chex. Then I slept more.
I kept sleeping, but then in the middle of the night, I did get up and have some diarrhea. Sorry about the graphic language, but it was one of the highlights of my weekend. I slept more, and more. And around noon on Sunday, I was up and had another two bowls of Rice Chex. And then I slept. I slept until around 7 p.m. when I threw up bile.
Throwing up made my body feel much better. In fact, nearly all of the dizziness and body aches were gone. I had two more bowls of Rice Chex. I wanted to stay up some, while I felt better, and play some of my Playstation game, but I was too tired and went back to sleep.
Today, when my alarm went off, I set the snooze for 10 minutes but forgot to activate the snooze. I use a Palm IIIxe as my alarm clock and it’s got it’s quirks. So, I actually woke up at 6:20 when I’m supposed to be leaving for work. And here I am, at work.
Nina Progress
So, last Tuesday, Nina walked about 8 feet from Alison to me without being prompted. Yesterday, she walked from the sofa to the coffee table. Not a long distance, but it’s the first time she has walked by herself between two regular items, meaning neither destination or start point was a person. She also knows how to put a peg into a hole. She studied her pegs and holes a great deal upstairs with Alison while I slept downstairs.
I think coming into work was a mistake.
