now sick

[low_delta]

The first half of the week I didn't get enough sleep. Wednesday and Thursday nights I got seven of eight hours, but I still didn't feel like I was caught up. I had been fighting illness all week, and I wasn't sure how well I'd make it through the whisky tasting Friday night. Turns out I made it through just fine. Then I got eight hours of sleep again.

This afternoon Cindy and I went for a walk in the woods. When I got back I felt a little queasy, late afternoon. After supper I got the chills and got achy and had to spend a while on the toilet. Then I couldn't find a position that didn't hurt so I just went to bed for four hours.

I'm still achy. I'm drinking watered down ginger beer, in hopes that it helps my queasiness, and re-hydrates me.

It was a good tasting. Kinda laid back. Mostly beginners who had a lot to learn. It was up on the third floor of an old house overloooking Lake Michigan.

Ginger is the best thing in the world for GI problems. The next time you go shopping, buy some fresh ginger, then dice it up and boil it with lots of sugar and some water and a little lemon juice. It makes a wonderful syrup you can use in hot tea or soda water. It will make you feel better, I promise!

Margaret is right...ginger is very soothing if nausea continues. I'm sorry you got sick.

Seems your body was trying to fight off that illness. I'm sorry you're feeling icky, but I hope it's a brief one and you continue to get longer sleep hours and hopefully, more restful.

I hope you feel better soon. Glad the tasting went well.
