26 February 2009

Before Breakfast:
coffee

Overslept. Didn't feel right but rushed off to work anyway.

Tried to eat breakfast:
1 clementine, a few bites from an apple.
Couldn't handle anymore.

At noon, after the morning activity I headed back to the office and got sick in the bathroom. Department supervisor sent me home.

I feel awful. Kind of hungry, kind of thirsty. But nothing will stay down. For lunch I had a soft scrambled egg. and a little water. Didn't keep it long.

Heading back to bed.

Supper:
cup of lactose-free skim milk w/vanilla and Stevia. Took some meds with it. We'll see if I can keep it down.

NJ,

Sounds like even your body is telling you to slow down the pace a bit. Hope you get some much deserved rest and your body heals, it stinks being sick.

Take care of yourself!

Jill, I just caught the virus going around the campus I work at.

I'm really not over-worked -- I usually only work 40 hrs a week. I'm just trying to get used to a new job.

27 February 2009

[For those who read this on a much later date, this is not a normal menu for me, I'm sick.]

Breakfast:
1 cup of coffee, sipped over an hour.

Lunch:
soft scrambled egg, water

Supper:
very small bowl of dark brown rice and a couple of ounces of diet Dr. Pepper to settle my stomach.

Throughout the day I sipped on water, took medicine.
I have not thrown-up since before lunch. I think I am on the mend.

Hi EnJae
So sorry you are sick.........if you have any fresh ginger in the house...put a slice in your water with a little sweetner...helps with nausea. You can also steep in in tea if you want a hot drink.

Hope you feel better soon my friend

Under your picture it says, "Soon I will weigh less than 200" My that sounds wonderful to me, a long way down the road but I have hope to reach that someday.

Have a great day at work and God bless you.

Hugs, Carrole

It is SO nice to get some sleep!!!!
I went to bed at 8:30 last night (and set my clock ahead one hour). I got a full 8 hours of sleep! no waking up for an hour or two in the middle of the night.

I finally feel rested! And I have today and tomorrow off.

On Sundays my church family gets together for worship and for lunch. This afternoon I'll sleep if I feel like I need to, or go grocery shopping if I still feel rested. Then this evening I'll be with church folks again for worship and supper. Then if I slept all afternoon, I'll get the shopping done tonight; or if I shopped this afternoon, I'll relax this evening....

Tomorrow I'll probably get up between 5:30 and 6:30 to feed the dogs and let them out and in again, probably get my coffee then, too. But after that! instead of getting around for work or for an appointment, I get to GO BACK TO BED until 9am. WHOO-HOO!
I have a RedHat's luncheon at 11am. My friend will be out of town (picking up her step-daughter for SpringBreak) so I won't be running around with her all afternoon taking her 2 home-schooled daughters to their martial arts and music lessons. So I have the afternoon to rest also. Then my music lesson at 5pm, supper at 6:15 and a meeting at 7pm.

Isn't REST a wonderful relief?! I went through a couple of years of never being able to sleep horizontally, for a variety of physical reasons. I can totally empathize & I'm very happy for you about this.

I haven't found a Red Hat group to meet with yet, but I'm looking forward to it. What kinds of activities do you have in your group?

What kind of music are you studying?

I fool around with the idea of taking piano lessons again. I became fairly adequate at classical piano, especially after I discovered Van Cliburn in the 70's. But I only learned to read the music and never was very fast at sight-reading because my teacher believed in training muscle memory through repetition. That's what she called "learning" a piece. She would never cop to the memorization part. So I never learned the mechanics of how music actually works, so I could never understand how to chord the way the blues artists do. I saw a piano guy on an infomercial selling a system teaching that. I wish I had gotten it.
