Damn Stomach

Yesterday I woke up feeling fine. I was so happy that it was my half day Friday. When I got home Master and I relaxed for a little bit before I called my dad to see when we could come over. We had made plans to visit him but just hadn't totally locked down a specific time because my dad wasn't entirely sure what time he would be home. We left here around 1:30pm or so and made pretty good time getting down there.

We had a good time and I think we left there around 5:30pm or so. Master and I had already decided that I would drop Him off at home so He could take care of the dog and I would go get Taco Bell for dinner. Well, that was the original plan.

About 10 minutes away from home I started to not feel well. And it went from not feeling well to feeling like I was going to be sick. So I told Master I would come in with Him just to make sure I wouldn't get sick while I was driving.

Yeah.. I ended up getting sick several times. Obviously there was no Taco Bell in our future. I felt very light headed and still sick to my stomach and I didn't want to eat anything at all. But Master made me eat some bread to try and help soak up some of the stomach acid and because He didn't want my blood sugar dropping too much. I asked if I could go lay down. When I get sick like that my body wants to shut itself off until I basically am over it.

I got sick one more time before going to lay in bed. But I felt like I couldn't get warm let alone comfortable. My entire body ached from getting sick. I tossed and turned in bed for about an hour because I said fuck it, I can't fall asleep anyway. So I went into the bathroom and ran a really hot bath and climbed in.

When I got out I laid down on the couch and Master made me eat some more bread and then ran down to the gas station to get me some Sprite. I fell asleep on the couch waking up for short periods of time. I woke up all the way just in time for Master to tell me that He was going to bed. I stayed up for about a half hour and then joined Him.

I was really upset about not feeling well last night. I had hoped that we would come home from my dad's, watch movies, goof around, and then fuck. But no... my body decided to fuck all that up. And I still don't understand what the hell all of that was about anyway.

This morning my lower back and hips are still bothering me and so is my head. I think that's mainly from sleeping so much and getting stiff/a headache from it. My stomach feels better. I'm not going to push it though.

And today we are visiting my mom before going over to His mother's house for dinner. Master already sent her a message stating that I'll need something bland to eat. I'll just have to wait and see where my stomach is. Hopefully I'll feel 100% better by mid afternoon and that I'm absolutely fine tomorrow. Master and I have the day to oursevles tomorrow.

Not Feeling Well

I'm a little annoyed today. I wasn't planning on not feeling well. Last night Master and I grabbed McDonald's for dinner. Everything tasted fine. It was about a half hour later that I started to not feel all that well. So I asked Master if I could use the bathroom when I needed to. When I'm not feeling well it's just easier to ask for that than to ask each time I feel like I need to. Plus, it also lets Him know that I am really not feeling well at all. He of course gave the permission. We were in the middle of watching Skeleton Key on Netflix (a movie I really like) when it hit. I thought maybe it was just gas. Nope.

When I got into the bathroom I got really, really sick. Just when I thought it was over it would hit me all over again.

By the time I felt it was safe to venture back into the living room I was shaking pretty bad. Since I'm hypoglycemic I tend to shake quite a bit after I throw up. Let alone get as sick as I did. I had to lean against the wall when I was walking I was shaking so badly.

I grabbed a throw blanket and laid down on the couch. I was planning on just getting comfortable and hoping that I wouldn't get sick again. Well, I didn't get sick again because I fell asleep.

Master had allowed me to sleep on the couch until the end of the movie at which time He woke me up so I could take my medications and go lay down in our bed.

I promptly passed out when my head hit the pillow.

So why am I annoyed? Well, getting that sick sucks ass. Add to that the fact that when I got up this morning I was still pretty shaky. I took the dog out and then went into the bathroom to brush my hair and brush my teeth. Well I got to the brushing my hair part when I felt ill again. Sure enough I threw up again. Son. Of. A. Bitch.

I sat there for a little while and still felt dizzy and nauseous. So I decided that it would be best to just go back to bed and sleep it off, hopefully. So I sent a text to the driver of my carpool to let her know I didn't need a ride and then called my supervisor.

I didn't want to skip out of work today. I'm not worried about getting behind so much as I didn't want to burn a vacation day. But we don't get sick days, just personal time (which is unpaid) and vacation days (which are paid). Well, I couldn't afford losing a whole days worth of pay so I burned one of the vacation days. *sigh*

When I got back to bed I accidentally woke Master up. He told me what time it was and asked if I was okay. I said that I still wasn't feeling well and was staying home. He simply said, "Okay baby," and cuddled up next to me and we fell back asleep. He woke up at 7:15am apparently and He allowed me to sleep until 10:30am. I was still shaky when I got up so I ate a little something.

I've felt off most of the day but after dinner I finally started to feel better and my stomach didn't fight back, which is a good thing.

So back to work tomorrow and Thursday. Then on Friday I have off and the following Monday I have off due to the office being closed for Memorial Day.

Sinuses

Well, I'm not exactly sick. I started off the day fine. I was a bit tired but that was about it. Then suddenly around 2pm for no reason what so ever my sinuses bitch slapped me. I was stuffy, I had to keep blowing my nose and I just felt like hell.

I took a sinus pill that one of my coworkers had but it didn't kick in until right before I left work a few hours later.

When I got home Master and I ate dinner, watched some Netflix and relaxed. I took another sinus pill and decided to go lay down. Master woke me up around 8pm. I feel a bit better. I don't have the headache anymore, but I am still stuffed up. I don't want to take another sinus pill just yet because I only took one about an hour and a half ago. So I'm going to go take a hot bath and see if that helps.

Master Is Sick

Master started not feeling well yesterday. At first we figured it was just sinuses, but it turned out to be a summer cold. So He's irritable, tired, and just all around blah. Poor Master. :-(

Today I busted my ass at work. I clocked in at 7:45am. I took a whopping 12 minute lunch, when I'm allowed to take up to 45 minutes. I clocked out, got bored, and clocked back in. I ended up staying until 5:30pm since my ride had left at 2:30pm and Master would have had to come pick me up anyway, so I figured why not just stay a little late?

For the last 15 minutes or so that I was there my trainer came over to me and asked me how I had been handling the invoices when I was doing them, because that's how she wants V to do them. Well V had already voiced that she didn't want to do things "my way", and I told the trainer that. She said, "To bad. It was more efficient, so that's how it's going to be done."

I felt a spark of pride when she said that. :-D

Master picked me up from work, we went home, ate dinner, and started watching Reno 911. Master was falling asleep in His chair so I suggested that He might want to go take a nap.

He did just that, and while He napped I created a resume for my brother. There wasn't a lot to put on it, but anything to help him get a job and relieve some of the pressure on my mom since he's living with her right now. I have a knack for making dull boring things sound professional when I'm creating a resume. So my brother wanted my help on that. No biggie.

Master just got up a little while ago. And I really don't have much else to talk about right now.

I was at work a good chunk of the day, and not much has happened since then. Mainly what's on my mind has to do with my job, such as when the hell I'm getting my review, what's going to be said at the department meeting tomorrow, things like that. Trivial, boring, bullshit basically.

Sharing Is Not Always Caring

You know that head cold I have?

Well since Master has a blood disorder that effects His immune system I've been cutting back on the hugs and haven't been kissing Him at all. I haven't even really been cuddling with Him when we sleep at night. It's been torture!

However, I have still passed my head cold onto Him. :-( I feel bad.

Hopefully we both get over this quickly.

I went back to work today. I am feeling better. My head feels fine, but now it feels like I have a weight on my chest all the time. I did get dizzy a few times at work, but I just sat still, closed my eyes, breathed deeply and it passed relatively quickly.

I just have to get through tomorrow and I'll have the weekend to recoup.

I miss all the affection though. It sucks when I'm sick. I am afraid to get to close to Master, at least for an extended period of time. When He's sick, and I'm not, it doesn't matter.  I don't get sick very often. Normally my immune system is extremely strong. So I cuddle with Him (if He doesn't have a high fever, cause at that point He doesn't want to be touched) and He gets ultra cuddly when He's sick.

But even though I have passed the head cold onto Him, I'm still sick... so I'm still trying to not kiss Him, etc. I don't want to make His head cold worse or anything along those lines.

Radar isn't understanding why Master and I aren't as high energy as we normally are. I mean He knows we're sick and is trying to help in his puppy ways, but he still wants to play and run around and all that. Of course when Master and I are not feeling well we get cranky. So Radar isn't understanding that part.

Here's hoping that tomorrow goes quickly. I'm off to go soak in the tub.

Stayed Home

This morning when I got up I was no longer dizzy, but my throat still hurt and rather than my head feeling full (like yesterday) my chest felt like it had a weight on it.

So I called into work and let my carpool know that I wasn't going to work today. I took the dog out and thought about going back to bed, but then Master got up, so I stayed up.

After Master's shower He ran out and got us McDonald's for breakfast. Once I was done eating I laid down on the couch and took a nap.

Most of the day has been spent with me either browsing online just to have something to do, watching Netflix with Master, eating, or sleeping. Lots and lots of naps.

In fact I just got up from my last nap about an hour ago. Master had to wake me out of the nap, so that I would actually sleep tonight.

I can't afford more time off of work, so I'm back to work tomorrow regardless of how I'm feeling. Although despite my efforts to not infect Master, it seems I might have. :-(

I haven't been kissing Him and only giving small hugs. But it seems that was enough. He said His throat hurts and His chest feels congested. I feel bad about it. When I'm sick it's not really that big of a deal. I just need lots of sleep.

Master on the other hand I have to keep a close eye on it in case it escalates into something worse.

I'm just hoping that He either a) isn't sick and it's just sinuses or b) He gets over it quickly.

I also hope that the next two days go by quickly so that it can be the weekend. I'm hoping I feel better tomorrow than I do today, but that might not be the case. So I'm just hoping the day goes quickly since I'll be at work.

I've been taking it extremely easy though. I've only been outside once today and that was to take the dog outside. That was it. The rest of the time Master has handled everything, which I appreciate.

I wish the dress code at work allowed sweat pants and/or bath robes. *laughs* Then I could be comfy as can be.

Shoot Me Now

I went to work today, but I ended up having to leave early.

I wasn't feeling the best when I woke up this morning, but I got up and got dressed. Master was already at work, other wise I have a feeling He would have taken one look at me and told me to call in. I looked at myself in the mirror and went, "Wow.. I look like shit."

But I didn't really want to call in. I wanted to at least try and go to work. So I did. Master was on a really boring job site, so He called me quite a few times through out the morning. As the morning progressed He kept asking questions like, "Babe are you okay? You don't sound well." And I finally admitted that I didn't feel well at all.

It was the weirdest thing. I had these hot and cold flashes. My head was killing me, my lower back was really bothering me, and I swear my ovaries and/or uterus were trying to escape my body. Damn things. Normally being on my period doesn't effect me so strongly. Normally it's just some cramping, lower back pain, and that's about it. I don't know why it's deciding to kick my ass this month.

So I asked Master if it would be okay for me to go home. He actually "strongly suggested" it in the name of health concerns. So I tried to call my supervisor, but he didn't answer his phone. So I sent him an e-mail asking if it would be okay for me to leave early.

I got a very nice surprise in the response. He said that there was no way he was going to keep me at work if I wasn't feeling well. He said that my personal time is mine to use as I see fit and even said that he hoped I felt better. *whoa*

It's a hell of a nice change of pace from my last job, where they would basically act like prison guards if I asked to go home. Like I was trying to escape or some shit.

So I told my coworker that I was leaving early, and she acted really pissy about it. Oh I'm sorry... you've only taken off at least one day a week for the past month... *sigh*

The only down side to this was I had to take the bus home, which made my back and head worse. But at least I got home. Master called to make sure I had made it home okay. I checked some things online, watched a couple of epidsodes of Tripping the Rift while I tried to get my back to relax, and then I took about a four hour nap. I only got out of bed when Master called me to tell me He was on His way home. Whenever I don't feel well my body goes into shut down mode.

That was the main reason I wanted to go home from work. I couldn't concentrate at all, which isn't a good thing. Plus I'd rather leave early today and try to feel better then wake up in the morning feeling ten times worse and have to call in.

Master made sure I relaxed once He was home. We ate a light dinner and now we're just relaxing until tomorrow.

I am feeling a little bit better. A nice hot bath and that long nap really helped.

My Head Is Going To Explode

Any moment now. Yep. It's gonna happen.

I feel slightly better than I did yesterday, however with the rain and everything I've had a headache and a lot of pressure in the back of my head. So it feels like my head is about to explode.

But I went to work and I stayed there.

It was tough at first since I couldn't really focus on a lot. The sinus mediation that we take makes me feel fuzzy. So if I don't make a lot of sense in this post, that's why. And it'll probably be a short one.

Apparently my office is cleaning house right now. Spring cleaning and all that I suppose. A lot of people were let go today. It makes everyone there nervous. Kind of like, "Who's next in line?"

I'm trying to not let that freak me out. So I go to work, I do my job, and I go the hell home. That's all I really can do. Don't cause waves and all that. These days it seems it doesn't matter how good you are at your job, if they want you gone... you're out of there.

And I'll do it again tomorrow. I'll go to work, I'll do my job, and I'll go the hell home. One day at a time. And hopefully the axe won't swing my way.

Master stayed home from work again tonight. He's a little bit better, but He had talked to His supervsior and His supervisor told Him to stay home. His boss would rather He stay home now, when things are slow, rather than push Himself and not be able to go into work when it's busy.

As far as tomorrow night? I don't know if Master will go in or not. He's calling His supervisor tomorrow, in the afternoon.

I can't think of much else to write right now. My head hurts, my shoulders and back hurt from coughing and from trying to surpress coughs while at work. I'm also trying not to get all stressed. Why? Cause I drive Master nuts when I do that. And He doesn't need any more stress right now. Poor Daddy is sick. :-( So am I, but that's not that point.

I Hate Being Sick

It's official. Master gave me His cold. I don't have all the drainage He does, but my throat feels like it is on fire and I have periods of feeling dizzy/lightheaded. My immune system is strong, but when I get sick I apparently don't fuck around. It knocks me on my tail.

Last night I had stayed up until Master got home because He got out of work early last night. I thought He would come home, take His shower, we would talk a little bit, and then we would go to bed and curl up.

But after His shower He wasn't tired and so put in a movie. I couldn't stay up any later because I had to go to work in the morning. So I gave Him a hug and then went to bed and eventually fell asleep.

This morning my alarm went off. When I sat up in bed I got a head rush and felt like shit. But I was going to try to go to work. And try I did. An hour into work I felt worse, and that's after taking the sinus medicine. I went on a break to see if some fresh air would help any, but it didn't. So I asked if I could go home. My reasoning was that if I could just sleep most of the day and then most of the night, I would feel better. So I came home. Master was still sleeping as He had worked 3rd shift. I checked on Him and He was sprawled out all over the bed and I didn't want to wake Him up by coaxing Him to move over enough for me to slide into bed next to Him.

Instead I grabbed a sheet and a small throw blanket and curled up on the couch and fell asleep. Master woke me up when He got up. He asked what I was doing home, so I told Him. He said He was sorry for giving me the cold. Now let's just hope we don't keep cycling it between the two of us. Gods that would get ugly.

I don't have much of an appetite, but I did eat a little something here and there throughout the day.

I have to go to work, and stay there, tomorrow though. Hopefully in the morning I'll feel better. The sucky thing is that when my throat feeling the way it does, it makes my job a bit more difficult. I'm on the phone, literally all day except for when I'm on lunch or a break. And it honestly feels like I'm losing my voice. Not good. I only get so many "occurrences" for the year. Yeah, it's only February and I've used about half of those already due to migraines, food poisoning and now today. They are very strict on their attendance. You get so many and then you're out the door, regardless of how good at your job you are. And I can not afford to lose this job. This makes me nervous.

I feel like shit. I really do, but I'm going to have to tough it out. Hopefully Friday will get here rather quickly, and I won't feel so bad in the morning.
