Blerg.

 I was planning to return to work in person today, but it didn't happen.

I had a really rough night and morning with some stomach-related side-effects. I was up at 3am and very uncomfortable. I really wanted to go in to see the kiddos, my colleagues, and also just be a normal person. Today is also the day when our wonderful housekeeper comes, and it is so nice to be out of her way so she can do her job. 

I didn't even get dressed by the time my first meeting came online. I rallied about 10-minutes before the meeting I had to help run on zoom. I kept trying to do the follow-ups, and my eyes closed. 

My stomach did not like holding on to food today. I called my team and apparently I was wise to ask if I should just take some pepto... apparently with my current cocktail that would create ulcers and bleeding. Yikes. Their suggestion? Take my meds with milk. "Um, I have never had a glass of cows milk in my entire life." They *think* almondmilk will work. 

Fingers crossed.

So, for now, it is rice for dinner; almondmilk and crackers for snacks; and generally feeling icky.

bummer. 

The QOTD goes to Chris who said "It shouldn’t have to be a trade off between digestive terror and agonizing pain." But, of course, that seems to be the way it goes for me. 

I am tired.
