My fun weekend

[coffeesnob318]

So my Memorial Day was fun. Stomach virus attacked Sunday night, right after our trip to Taco Bueno. Taco Bueno no es bueno when you are coming down with a stomach virus. I thought I was just hungry. I should have known better. I don't get hungry. At least not that hungry. Not unless I haven't eaten for a few days, and we had just had lunch a few hours earlier.

So I did not go to Bill and Laura's for the cookout Monday, as planned. I went nowhere except downstairs. I ate nothing except Phenegran (sp?). I stayed in bed and softly moaned myself to a sleep-like trance (not actual sleep, mind you) between trips to the bathroom.

My big accomplishments Tuesday were keeping down toast and watching more TV than I had watched all the rest of the days of May combined.

Yesterday, I got into my car for the first time since the illness struck and sat by the pool at Julie's. I wasn't willing to chance the rocking of the water, but the sun felt nice.

I'm almost eating normally. I am currently enjoying my first caffeinated beverage (Coke - my comfort drink) since Sunday. Slowly. I shall have coffee this morning with Adam if all goes well.

I shall triumph!

In other good news, Sam had her baby last night around 10:15! Three weeks early. And she had this one at home. She was looking forward to the home birth; I'm excited to hear how it was for her. I have no details, except that mom and baby are doing fine. But yay! Welcome to the world, Cameron!

You know, I could really get used to this not-teaching thing. I like the leisurely feel of my days. Even working full time feels like a vacation. So this is what a real life is like.

You know. Without all the stomach issues.

*pets* Keep feeling better, kay?


mmmmmm.....Taco Bueno......I need to come visit you just so I can have me some of that.......


:p Maybe I should come invade your home on Sterling's birthday. That would be an excellent way of avoiding the crazy in-laws plans to scare him with a party (he doesn't like crowds) and stuff him full of sweets (which he doesn't like and doesn't eat) and try to make him play games he doesn't understand. heh.

It was an exhausting week. This week promises to be better.

Glad to hear you're feeling better. Was thinking of you when I saw a new Coffee Crisp flavour hit our shelves. Plus I went by Murchies, thought about their chocolate-covered coffee beans and thought of you again. You are on my mind a lot, which all things considered, is pretty logical. I live in Vancouver, the coffee capital of Canada. ;)

Mmmm...coffee capital.

Sounds like an amazing place to be.

Stomach issues: HATE.

Glad to see you're feeling a bit better, though.

I am feeling much better. I didn't need a vacation that badly. And I didn't need a vacation from coffee. *cuddles cup*
