yesterday's troubles
I'm so glad yesterday is over. Remember how I said I was looking forward to drinking yummy wine? Well, drink wine I did - too much!!When you drink to much (dare I say, at my age), and then you come home and passout without eating anything or drinking any water.. what happens is that wine slowly burns a hole in your stomach!! arg!!
So yesterday all day long I was wiped out (probably from my stomach working so hard to avoid the burn) and I was horribly nauseous and had a big ol tummy ache all day! uuugg. This is where I'll just go back to the whole "my age" thing and say that it happened the first time probably a year & 1/2 ago - when I mixed wine with some antibiotic I was taking and I thought I was going to die. This is where I learned that Zantac is my best friend. The prescription dose is 2 of em (not 1 like the over the counter package says) and it will save your life!
Sadly I just thought I was hungover and instead had a double shot latte (coffee/caffiene bad for a hangover!) to try to wake my groggy ass up, and then tried to eat some bread, etc. All day trying to nurse my hurty tummy to no avail... it just seemed to get worse!! Then I remembered the Zantac cure, but I only took one. It helped for a little while and atleast let me put down some broth and more bread since I needed food even though the thought of it made me queasy. Somehow when you're nauseous, all you can think about are things that make you more nauseous - it's horrible!!
The worst was that I was going to work yesterday and this left me totally incapacitated to do anything. :( SUCKS!
So then, I have tickets to a show lastnight.. and all day I was just hoping I'd feel better, but I so didn't. And yet I had already rallied other people to go, and my sweetie was getting back from LA and I wanted to see this opener really bad and I figured I could use to get some fresh air... but all the while picturing myself walking in the door of Bottom of the Hill, having that waft of beer smell hit me, and promptly barfing on the bouncer's shoes.
Luckily that didn't happen. Nor did I puke on my friends as they talked about the beers & sausages they'd ate earlier that day. Nor did I when the nasty stink bomb someone let off near me made me sway and close my eyes in fear I'd fall over in one more second. I made it!
The Evening played and I was psyched. I think at one time I knew I'd seen them open for StellaStarr - and then got into them more after that show, so I wanted to see them again. However, due to killing brain cells on weekends somewhere I forgot that, which hilariously led to us standing at BoTH going, "Boy these guys look familiar!" duh!
So ya, they were great - go buy their album. I was so impressed I made it that far that to celebrate, we left right away. Promptly I came home & took 2 Zantac's and with my sweetie finally by my side, I felt better than I had all day :) yay!
But Saturday night *was* fun. I got to hang with my friend Sandy and her boy, Derek... and got to see David & Jackie who I haven't seen in years and years and they were a major part of my first moving here 8 years ago, so that was awesome!!!
And Ken's little girl is precious - and already walking at only 10 mos! awesome!! All their friends were great and we laughed and had a great time. But next time someone please recommend I have a glass of water for Christ's sake.
over & out,
