Well my weekend was ok… nothing spectacular. I never did end up having that drink I wanted. So of course my sister has the mystery virus, which we think we have figured out it’s the norovirus. All their symptoms match perfectly. So even today she was still not feeling well. I wanted to take her out on Friday, but she was puking then. I wanted to take her out yesterday but my family ended up going out out to eat without us (can’t blame them), so I put it off until Today. I call and she’s eating lunch somewhere. I was like…..oh my god am I ever going to take her out? So my mom’s like she’s just having a bowl of soup. So we go over there, and again she’s coming out of the bathroom from being sick… then lays on the floor half dead. Well I told her we’ll just wait until she comes back from her dad’s next week.
I didn’t really do much today except yard work. I’ve been really dizzy and faint-like since yesterday, so I had to keep taking breaks. It was like 85 degree’s out at 10a.m. and i’m outside in my pajamas picking weeds bent over. Sweat was pouring off my face. One lesson I have learned in life is NEVER buy Lowe’s $1.06 bags of soil. I have had non-stop weeds all summer. Grrr.
Anyhow, after nearly passing out like 10 times I decided to call it quits and Matt mowed the front lawn. I’m picky about how my lawn looks so I stood from the inside and watched as he mowed the lawn. I know how I want my lawn to look, and I freak out if it’s any different, that’s why i’m the sole caretaker of our property. So he starts mowing and starts running the mower in all directions across the lawn. I’m like, “Matt, straight lines please… do not see that giant curve you just made in the middle of the lawn?”. Matt has mowed the lawn about 5 times in his life here in the U.S., so I can’t blame him, but his inexperience at it.
I’ve been drinking gatorade to replenish my electrolytes. I have a small feeling that my prescription diuretics are to blame for my sickness. I took one two days in a row. What’s a girl supposed to do when you feel bloated?! Anyway it took that away, but I got dehydrated. I used to hate gatorade, but Matt got me some fruit punch flavored and it’s ok. It tastes like very watered down fruit punch.. but is acceptable!
I feel a lot better tonight though. I’m well watered and fed for the day. I think my caloric intake for the entire week was probably less than 2000 (not on purpose), and I probably multiplied that by 1.5 just today. For some reason I was hungry today, which I’m not normally. Ah well… back to the gym tomorrow anyhow.
