Being sick is yucky.
I've been struggling with an almost-sinus cold and sort of scratchy throat for about three days now, so this morning when I woke up and felt sick to my stomach I just assumed it was my cooking, since sinus colds can't turn into the stomach flu, right? Last night I made these salmon patties which are DELICIOUS but upon further reflection (further reflection while I was laying on the bathroom floor this morning) they had a lot of bones in them. At least, more bones than I remember them having originally. I felt a lot better shortly afterwards, and decided to go in to work because I had some pressing things to attend to.
So I piled into my car with my tea and I proceeded to drive for about twenty minutes, when suddenly I knew I was in trouble. Big trouble. I swerved down a side street and pulled over, wondering if I was going to attract any cops. Lakewood is crawling with cops in the morning, but although several passed me, none actually stopped and questioned why I was throwing up in the street. Apparently it's totally normal to see people in office clothing hanging out of their cars at 7:30 in the morning. Lakewood IS supported primarly by bars and other such establishments. I suppose maybe it would be weird for them NOT to see at least one vomiting person a day.
Afterwards, I felt so much better! It must have only been the food I cooked last night! I'll be fine! I'm so close to work! I managed to make it to my parking spot in the flats when I realized I was in trouble again. I ended up turning around and going home, stopping one more time in Rocky River. Unfortunately that time I was not by bar alley, I was in front of school. There was a school bus, and the children were all yelling and pointing. I was probably the high point of the school year.
I finally made it home where I crawled into bed and slept until 3:00. I feel a lot better, and I've even eaten some crackers. My head still hurts, but at least I'm not in my car anymore because that really sucked.
So I TRIED to go into work today, I really did. See what happens when we attempt to suck it up and be responsible?
Unfortunately, the puppy does not understand the concept of "being sick" and is now humping my leg. I think I'm going to have to shoot him, as soon as I regain some strength in my trigger finger. Friggin puppies.
