1/13
Well, I didn't get to sleep last night.  I ended up running for the bathroom - oh, midnight-ish, I think - and after that, I never knew what end this thick (and I mean THICK) nastiness would come out of.  I hate, absolutely hate, to throw up, and I did that just as often as the other.  Oh, it was awful!!
Ron offered to stay home with me, but I told him that would be a little silly, because there wouldn't really be anything for him to do.  Finally, a little after 6, I threw up the rest of my stomach, went back to bed and managed to go to sleep.
Needless to say, it wasn't a good sleep, just a doze, but it was for a good solid length of time - til 11.  I got up and took a shower, then just sat in my recliner all day, except for more trips to the bathroom, where, luckily, there was no more throwing up.
Since it's TOPS night, I asked Ron to drive me up to the meeting so I could weigh in.  Besides that, I had the secretary's books and had to hand them over to someone for tonight.  I was very careful - I didn't touch anything unless I was wearing my gloves - I don't want to make people sick.   All I did was weigh in (I lost 3 pounds!), then I left.  I even felt so weak that I used my walking stick, and I haven't done that for a long time!  When we got home, Ron tried to get me to eat something.  He made me a bowl of chicken noodle soup, and I did manage to eat about 10 bites, but that was it.
Awful, awful day.

After I woke up this morning, I laid in bed reading and playing on the tablet until I just could not stand lying there any more.  Then I moved out into my recliner, and that was it for the day.  I sat there and read my book and played on my tablet.  I also turned on the TV - and if you know me, you know how rare that is!
After Ron got home, he tried to get me to eat (again), but there was no way.  After a while, though, just to shut him up, I went out and got a pack of Ritz Crackers.  These are the little snack-size packs, not the full size.  There's just as many crackers in the box, but they're in 8 small packs instead of 4 large ones.  Anyway, sitting there watching TV, I managed to eat 3 crackers, then I put them to the side.
And that was that.   I went to bed on the nice clean sheets that Ron had put on the bed.  I might keep him after all!

I felt a bit better when I woke up this morning, and I was definitely tired of lying in either the bed or the recliner.  I was hungry, though, so I ate more of the Ritz crackers from that open pack.  I still feel so weak, though, that I couldn't really "do" anything, although I did manage to fold the towels from the load that I had done the other day (yes, they've been in a basket ever since).  I left them on the table for Ron to put away when he got home.  I just couldn't do that.
I tried stacking the dishes neatly on the counter, so I could do them up.  Nope.
I did do another load of towels!
I tried to sort all the other laundry, to see if I should get another load started.  I even had to get the grabby to help me - I couldn't do the bending/squatting required.  Nope.
Even though I'm feeling better, I am still so weak, it's crazy.  And it's driving me crazy!
I retired to my recliner, and there I was when Ron got home.  He made our little Spam casserole (Spam in macaroni-n-cheese) for supper, and I did manage to eat a bowl of it,

I am finally back on the pute and getting things really caught up.  Next, I get to play Budget Manager for the week.  Yay.
Errands to run up in Bethel tomorrow.  Might be fun.
