I choose to stop feeling like a piece of shit and be a fully functioning person again. Tomorrow. Tonight I will just watch some more crappy TV.and the next day I was hit with an amusing little dose of food poisoning. I'm assuming it was food poisoning anyway, because Babes and I took turns running to the loo while Jack just couldn't eat all day. We'd all thorougly enjoyed our prawn salads the night before. Marie, who picked at hers but was too tired to eat much, was bouncing all over the place wondering why everyone was looking so glum.
I'm so happy that
- I didn't make the salad. (I'm not blaming Babes, I swear, but at least I don't have to blame myself.)
- Charlie refused to eat that night.
- It was a creche day so I could lie the fuck down.
Dropping Charlie off at creche (half an hour's drive away), I was very disconcerted to see that the toilets were being cleaned. I had a very interesting, very bubbly, drive home but managed to make it in time. (Yes, aren't you happy you stopped by today? I'm all about the oversharing again.)
On the bright side, I did lose a couple of pounds and got compliments for my trimness yesterday when I had friends over. Also on this very same bright side, my rampant appetite seems to have relented for the time being. It turns out that I wasn't really all that stupid when I was wishing for an explosive tummy bug the other day. The whole time I was lying on the sofa feeling queezy and crampy I was mentally writing a post entitled "Be careful what you wish for," but my heart wasn't in it. I didn't even chuck up once, got to lie and watch daytime TV for a day, had an excuse to tell the children to keep quiet, lost some weight, and was all better in 24 hours. It was just like a mini-holiday, only with a burning poo hole, but really, if we're honest that's not an uncommon byproduct of any mini-holiday so I was fine. (There I go again with the ickiness. I propose we wrap this up.)
See you soon, people. And remember: if you're not quite sure about the seafood, just wash it down with a glass of wine. You'll be fine.

I wish I liked prawns. I wonder if I could achieve the same with some prawn cocktail crisps...I might just have to go and lick the inside of my fridge's vegetable drawers to offset the muffin I had this morning.
ReplyDeletePoo hole. Fabulous! Love your post. X
ReplyDeletelove it
ReplyDeleteSorry!!!!!!! I didn't mean too, can't say I'm not a sharing person haha, at least you only had the toilet runs for a couple of days, I had it for 6 and I'm NOT happy that I've lost weight. A Ok now, just really tired, still I'm good enough to go back to work (pity)

God, I have had awful stomach cramps today without any other symptoms aside from needing to burp repeatedly....suffering without the weight loss - not fair!!
ReplyDeleteHa! Burning poo-hole! Laughs silently*
ReplyDeleteBless you Mwa, I had similar a couple weeks ago and it did a great job on quelling my appetite and kick starting some weight loss.
Just step away from that tapeworm, Lady.
Ow! I feel for you. Food poisoning is diabolical and it can just go on and on. Of course, if you drink enough, you could just call it a hang-over.
ReplyDeleteHahahaa. I'm just one bout of food poisoning away from my perfect weight. Okay. Okay. I'd probably have to get it twice.
ReplyDeleteNoone else can make food poisoning sound like a good thing :-)
ReplyDeleteThe first thought when I saw the post title was "she's got her wish!".
