This is the first time, since 6:30AM today that I have been on my computer. I caught a nasty version of the 24 hour stomach flu and have been on the couch, pretty literally, all day. I have napped more than watched TV, a bad sign for me, and have had my mind go all around in circles. It seems that, mostly due to the stroke, my mind plays a lot of silly tricks on me. There are also weird things that just seem to happen, too.
1) I have had the song “I Dreamed a Dream” stuck in my head almost all day. A good friend mentioned that to be a strange song to have played over and over on a day when I couldn’t sleep.
2) The cat spent a portion of the day walking from my foot to my shoulder, thinking about crawling next to me, then running off and sleeping in the dark computer room where I wasn’t.
3) My last school gave me an automatic ring today to let me know that we are on a 2 hour delay tomorrow.
4) I have 6 Amazon packages all of which have to be wrapped and mailed tomorrow!
5) I am hoping it to be coincidence that I ate the cookies I tried to make yesterday (See post) and got deathly sick last night (I will be throwing them out, anyway).
6) My imagination is not working well again. That’s rough when I use it to fall asleep most times.
7) On a good note, I did manage to actually sign and mail the contract for my fourth story.
8) I turned a movie off, not because it wasn’t good, but because I had fallen asleep several times and did not know much about it at all.
Writing this post has made me realize how much I hope all of you are doing well and feeling fine today. I am past the worst of it, so tomorrow should be good for me. My sleep will be off for several days thanks to today, but I am getting used to that one.
As a bonus, the picture above came from this WordPress Post: The 12 Stages of the 24hr Stomach Flu and I decided to link to it so you might enjoy it. I did!
Enjoy, my friends. You are all special to me.
Namaste,
Scott

Glad to see from your comments that you’re on the mend. It’s interesting that even if a food didn’t cause violent internal distress, we end up associating the food with the event and can’t eat it again for the longest time!

The cookies were horrible anyway.

Glad the flu has flown (more or less.) Get lots of sleep and eat well. Too bad about the cookies. Let’s talk tea sometime.

Thanks, both are good ideas. I am much better now. Only feeling like dying for 24 hours isn’t too bad…during the 25th hour, anyway.

Hope you’re feeling better soon! When I’m sick, my mind does all sorts of weird things which would be good for a writer, except then I can’t ever remember them!
