The outpourings of a deranged mind

Everybody out…

…use all available exits.

[No really]

I’ve been feeling a bit funny all day. Sort of floaty and not with it. Been quite nice actually and, apart from a slightly dippy tummy this morning all has been well.

That just changed. I’m now drenched in sweat, despite having had a couple of showers, one ice cold and I have discovered that being violently ill when you live by yourself and it catches you by surprise is not a good thing. And by violently ill I don’t mean “ooh, I’ve got the runs”, or “ooh, I’ve thrown up a little”, I mean everybody out, use all available exits explosiveness with roughly 10 seconds warning [hey, I warned you at the top of the post, it's your own fault]. Thankfully my bathroom is fairly sparse in terms of things in it so cleanup was aided there, but I’ve thrown most of the clothes away and the rest are being boil washed to within an inch of their lives. They’ll then get washed again. And possibly again. I’ve been scrubbing myself in the shower and still don’t feel clean. When the washing currently in the machine is done I’m running it through empty with washing machine cleaner in it, chucking the new clothes in it and then having another shower. In the mean time I’m not going to bed until I feel better. My bedding is far to bloody expensive and white. Actually, I might just sleep in the shower. Maybe I’ll have a bath in bleach first.

Anyway, on the plus side the kidneys don’t hurt so it’s not something nasty with them. On the downside I’ve got a temperature of 40 (which is probably why I’ve been feeling floaty). On the plus side the symptoms probably mean it’s just food poisoning and given the amount of raw fish I ate recently I think we might have a winner as to what caused it. On the down side it could interfere with my plans for tomorrow.

In the mean time I could really do with a hug :(

    but obviously wearing an NBC suit for my own protection.

    Here’s a virtual “hug” for you. And I’d stay away from bacon too! Clear broth and 7-up should help.

    (I think I’m safe - just had ‘the usual’so still taking antibiotic ‘armour’).

    In the mean take care, take it EASY (that does mean you) and I hope you feel better soon hon.

    Oh my word! Are you OK now? Are you going to go to the doctor today?

    Dr CB recommends flat coke to settle your stomach-and what are you doing reading this? switch the screen off, have some quiet time and try to sleep it out of the system.

    {{{hugs}}} sounds vile! Hope you feel better soon and flat soft drinks are the best … and no more dodgy fish!

    Well given it’s 20 past three and I’ve just got out of bed I think we can safely say I’ve taken it easy today. Feeling better, but still slightly dazed.
