Last week at this time I was getting ready to go to work (Saturday job). After I rode for about three miles, I started throwing up along the side of the road. It came on very suddenly. I thought it might have been something I ate, because I seemed to feel better afterwards. Well, I started working and began to feel dizzy and sick. I plopped down on my employer's patio. I spread my body out and relaxed. I had to summon the strength to water the turtles before I left for the day.
I called a lady I know with a truck (my bike is heavy!) and she came and got me around the Sonic location. I had biked a couple miles, and I didn't see how I was going to make it home. What a relief to receive her help.
I had the chills, no appetite, and felt awful for a couple days. I called in sick to work on Monday (along with eight other people!) and went back to work on Tuesday.
All week I haven't felt like myself. I've worked and done a good job, but as soon as I come home, I throw on my pajamas and go to bed. I guess I'm still recovering.
I've watched a lot of the Gilmore Girls. I've listened to a lot of radio.
This has been my week, but it's been good for me. Sometimes it's okay to not do anything, to not put demands on yourself, to slow down.
Things can wait. People can wait. You have to be healthy.
