Unwell

I've had an awful day from the get go. Up at 7am to use the facilities for a rather long time, not had such a bad tummy since something I ate in Thailand didn't agree with me.

At 8am I decided to diversify and redecorate the bathroom and realised that we don't have a plastic bucket to utilise in an emergency when the loo is otherwise occupied. This was not a great thing and ended rather badly! When I had my jabs to go to Thailand I had a similar reaction and recall my mum was a godsend as I couldn't stand. Poor MrH has taken annual leave and ended up spending some of his 'relaxing' morning cleaning up after me (he does love cleaning but maybe not this way). I feel a bit guilty about that but am sure I can return the favour.

I think it is food poisoning or gastric flu. I'm worried I won't make it in to work tomorrow. I have lots to do!

I managed to eventually drink some Coca Cola to settle my tummy (must be that brand and not diet according to a GP who gave me the tip years ago). I had gaviscon (bit yucky) don't think I've had that before and immodium (BBE of 2009) but I was assured it would work but someone who works in pharmaceuticals and it did. Definitely on the to buy list!

I managed a bath after 22:30 which was fab but then I was too weak to get out of it. Hope I will feel better tomorrow as I got a bit bored of my own thoughts today and was uncharacteristically whiney!

Lesson today: buy a bucket and check all 'emergency' meds are checked regularly to ensure they are in date!

My tummy still hurts so work looks doubtful currently
