Three hours was enough of awakeness.

Three hours was enough of awakeness. I'm still drowsy from my meds and I feel kind of crappy, so I'm going back to bed.

I have taken Ibuprofen, so hopefully it'll keep my head ok-ish. I didn't want to take my migraine meds because I need to work tomorrow and it'll have me drowsy and brain-foggy. If I have to take my migraine meds, I will probably need to call out, so paws crossed the Ibuprofen works.

Goodnight, friends. ❤️

I don't know what happened, but...

I don't know what happened, but last night I started feeling TERRIBLE. I felt like I had a migraine, but also a fever. I took my migraine meds and went to bed. Unfortunately, that didn't help.

I laid in bed basically using breathing techniques to distract myself from the pain and the nausea. Eventually, I started throwing up. Usually if I just have a migraine, I throw up once and then sleep it off. But last night it happened several times.

I don't know if what we DoorDashed yesterday didn't sit well on my stomach or what, but I didn't stop throwing up until this morning when it was ALL GONE.

Shaun, despite being sick himself, came to check on me this morning. (We sleep separately when one of us is sick.) He brought me water and Zofran, but I couldn't take Zofran with migraine meds, which I still felt I needed, so I just sipped water. I barely got any down when I had to ask him to hand me the trashcan to throw up.

Unfortunately, I heaved so hard I peed a little, which was no good because I was still sitting in my bed. Hugging the trashcan, I started making my way to the bathroom when I heaved again and peed a little in floor. Made it to the toilet and proceeded to make all kinds of pretty sounds. I couldn't even get the door shut. I'm not one of those "pee with the door open" people, but I guess I was this morning.

While all of that was going on, Shaun started stripping and cleaning and making the bed. I eventually finished puking, cleaned myself and the floor up, and laid back down. Took another migraine pill and kept it down. I'm basically just now awake from sleeping that off.

I don't feel wonderful, but I don't feel ANYWHERE near as bad as I did, thank goodness.

I can't remember the last time I felt that bad. Maybe when we still lived in Talladega and I had a bad migraine and couldn't get out of the floor and also puked so hard I peed myself. But I still feel like this was worse because it drug out all night.

Anyway. It doesn't matter. I'm here. I have the best husband who still takes care of me even when he feels bad. I'm heading down to see how he feels and if there's anything I can do to help him now that I might be a functional person.

I sincerely hope y'all have had a better weekend than we did. ❤️ It was a rough one.

I was in a bad mood most of the day...

I was in a bad mood most of the day because I got woken up in the middle of the night.

Poor Shaun came to check on me around 2 this afternoon when I still hadn't come downstairs.

We hung out for a bit, I finally did my leg-day exercise, then I came down.

Shaun's been a little congested lately, but his face was red when I saw him. Poor thing has a fever today. 🙁

We rarely go out, and usually if we're not at a restaurant we're masked. But somehow he's sick.

I guess it's that time of year. Blegh.

We're DoorDashing some food and taking it easy today.

It happened too fast for me to get a picture, but...

It happened too fast for me to get a picture, but Bear is ready for bed and he's tired of waiting for Shaun to tuck him in.

He came through the room doing a lap and we joked that he was "a strong, independent puppy, don't need no dad." But the next time he came through, he stopped across from Shaun and gave him a look. Despite his tongue being out, it was a serious look. He had his eyebrows up and everything. 😂 He said "You know it's time to tuck me in."

I love it when these kids tell us what they need or want.

Bear is especially easy since he's so routine-oriented. Cub - not so much. I've considered getting him word buttons, but I don't know if I want to be bossed around by a dog all day. 😂

Trying to go to bed and I got THE CLAWS.

Trying to go to bed and I got THE CLAWS. Calypso said "Don't move. We're not done snuggling yet." 😂😂😂

Sharing because it's funny. One of the teams I'm on at work is having a holiday Zoom background contest. I'm not really a holiday person, but I'm doing my best to be a team player. 😂😂😂
