ugh, that came on fast

what a strange day monday turned out to be. it was one of the more frustrating days i've had at work. i was able to accomplish quite a bit and knocked out everything i had scheduled for the day, but when our monday erp meeting rolled around, it seemed like our department was under attack for the whole two hour meeting. anyway, without going into detail on the meeting, i headed home after work and was really wiped out. i took a short nap and woke when lori came home.

she made a wonderful salmon dinner, but half way through it, my stomach started feeling a bit weird. i ended up going to be early, but woke at 11pm feeling very nauseous. i spent the next 6 hours hugging the toilet. by 3am, i was sure that there was nothing left in me to throw up, but it just kept coming up. wow, whatever it was that made me sick really emptied me out. i tried to get some sleep here and there, but my stomach cramping and headache just wouldn't let that happen. by 7am, i had stopped throwing up, and was slowly trying to get water back into my system. by 11am, i had successfully finished one glass of water. by 7pm, i had successfully finished 3 glasses of water, 3 crackers and half a banana.

i'm feeling much better this morning. i'm halfway through a banana/berry shake and my stomach is taking it just fine. i'm going to wait for it to settle and then head into work. what an awful week to have this happen. i'm short on time this week already, and now i have to squeeze so much stuff into the next two days before i leave for the uk.

still no race packet for the half marathon. i'm going to give them a ring tomorrow to find out what the deal is. hopefully there is somewhere i can pick it up in london the day before the race. i was really hoping to have everything in my possession before leaving. this is only a minor in convenience though.
