Sorry you're hurting, Theo.
Starbucks drive thru + gift card = breakfast. It's not good, and it's not what I ordered, exactly, but that's what I get for deciding to eat.
ETA: yikes, Tep! I hope the peanut butter helps.

Dang it, still pukey. That was gross. I don't want to go to urgent care. I can just deal with this at home, right? It's just a stomach bug.

Hope the peanut butter helps, Steph. If not, I'd try a lie down.
Matt, your love of chicken livers reminds me of my mother. She loved them too. I find them pretty inedible myself, even when prepared by a proper Jewish deli. As a side note, I do love the Moosewood recipe for vegetarian chicken livers (if memory serves, it's made out of walnuts and green beans instead) as it has all the flavor that I like and none of the flavor that I don't.

Oh no, Steph! I just posted, but had erased a sentence when I said for me the shakes sometimes precede needing to hurl. I didn't want to set something off. But I guess my intuition was right, darn it. I would say rest up, you probably don't need urgent care. But you might need TLC if there's someone you can call on to drop by and check on you, maybe bring by some gatorade or something.

Tim's going to be home in a hour, and we have gatorade mix (I think; I know we had it in the summer when it was insanely hot and Tim was pulling scrap metal out of an old un-airconditioned building.)

If you have some of that fake chicken broth you were making egg drop soup out of, that might be a good thing to have ready to sip.

I could make that, yeah. (It's a bouillon cube of mystery, the mystery being How Does It Taste Like Chicken When It Is Vegan? So I can throw it in boiling water and make broth.)
I think there's ginger beer (not alcoholic; Reed's ginger beer, way more bitey than ginger ale) in the fridge, too. And plain old fizzy water from the SodaStream machine.
Stupid stomach.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's hilarious, Steph.
I just have coffee with breakfast first thing, and then (on weekdays) drink a ton of water right away at work.

OMG, I thought I had refreshed when I had not! Steph, your interactions with your neighbors was hilarious, NOT feeling pukey.

Heh. I figured. (Or else your mean streak is finally manifesting, which I thought was improbable.)
