Not cool

A very strange thing happened yesterday, not too long after I finished my entry. I began to feel nauseous. I thought nothing of it...thought it would go away after a bit. No, instead it got steadily worse. I tried sipping tea and nibbling crackers to "settle" things, but soon after the sipping and nibbling I found myself crouched over the toilet in the classic puking stance. Relief followed, but was brief. After two more launches, I decided that it was best to go home. I couldn't concentrate at all because the nausea kept returning. I even had to pull my car over on the way home and puke in a bush. THAT's certainly something I've never done before! I didn't care who was looking (luckily, I don't think anyone saw) I just wanted to get it out fast so I could get home and sleep away whatever was upsetting my stomach so much. And sleep I did. Luckily I didn't wake up nauseous anymore. I just slept until about 8:30 p.m., at which time I actually had what felt like the return of a small appetite. So I had some more tea and nibbled some toast. This time it stayed down...ahhhh. I watched a bit of t.v. and then it was back to bed.

This morning I woke up feeling better. Still a little weak, but better. So I dressed and headed off to work. Then another strange thing happened... I was not half a block from work when my car engine just turned off. I was like, "What the??", as I coasted to a parking spot right in front of my work building. I felt lucky that my car ran to the point that it did, AND to get a parking spot right in front of the building. Once I was safely parked, I tried the engine. It turned but didn't start up and keep running. Hmmm... So I called Ron and he came to my rescue. First he checked it out and then he decided to call his friend at the shop that replaced my engine. We had it towed there and I have yet to find out what is wrong with it. So now I'm trying to find a ride home, as Ron will be working by the time I get off. Did I mention how much I LOVE his schedule? *sigh* First I tried Melanie, but she's got a meeting after work. Now I'm trying my friend Janine...she's got some stuff that she's trying to reschedule and then she'll get back to me. If that doesn't work out I'm not sure what I'm gonna do. I suppose I could take the bus. I'm ashamed to say that I haven't taken the bus in something like 15 years. I don't even know the routes from here. Am I spoiled or what?! I guess I could ask my boss for a ride home... It sure sucks to be stranded!

These things, along with work being kinda shitty, have made for a not so good start of my week. I'm starting to feel weak and tired again, I only had a little soup earlier today. I just want to go home and bury myself in bed.
