Y10 D260

I just had the worst 24 hours of my life. From when I got up yesterday until B found me on the bathroom floor at 7:30am, I had vomited 6 times, and had horrible diarrhea three times. She dragged my ass to bed where I stayed until 1:30pm. I couldn't keep anything down. Even liquids were coming back up. At 1:30 I thought I was feeling better and offered to help B out with stuff she was doing for the party. One thing she needed was to go to the store and get some instant cream of wheat. Her grandfather is also doing poorly right now and he can't eat anything solid. I agreed to go to the store but came right back in the house. B looked at me quizzically and simply turned around and showed her that I shat myself. No, seriously. Guess I was not feeling any better. Stripped off my clothes, showered, went back to bed. She ended up going to her mom's party by herself. I managed to move from the bed to the couch around 6 and had some saltines and chicken broth. BARELY kept that down. I did some research to see if I am dealing with flu or food poisoning. Based on how I am feeling today, I am going to go with food poisoning. Specifically Clostridium Botulinum. It is one of the few bacteria that manifests in 12-24 hours (most others take days which people don't realize), symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea, chills, fever, and fatigue. AND you can get it from (wait for it...) potatoes baked in aluminum foil. Which is EXACTLY what I had for dinner Friday night. Motherfucker. B got home around 8, found me on the couch, and dragged me to bed. I tossed and turned all night, but I do feel better this morning. Not good enough to eat anything, but good enough to function.

Meanwhile, my basement is still not done. Not only because the BF h ad to go to the party too, he cut part of his finger off while working on the floors and had to go to the hospital. Yeah. It looks like my basement won't be finished until Monday or Tuesday at the earliest. Even when I don't hire an official contractor, I still have to deal with contractor issues. Sigh. It's looking great down there, don't get me wrong. I just want it done so I can take care of the rest of the room.

Not sure what I am doing today. I don't want to strain myself that's for sure.
