The last two days I have not known which end to sick in the toilet. It started Thurday evening with dizzyness lack of appetite and a bad case of the Sprints, which is like the runs only you have to get to the toilet faster. I had about 10 seconds between "I think I have to..." and "Oh bugger." Thursday night I couldn't get warm, and between the staggering to the toilet and the wrapping in a doona I had wierd fever dreams obout Fry from Futurama when he visited the Slurm factory.

Yesterday was a dead loss. I spent it asleep or sitting on the toilet with my head in a bucket. Once again I couldn't get warm and spent the day wrapped in the doona while the temperature outside climbed to 39*C. This morning is an improvement but I spent it laying on the lounge, dozing. I don't feel sick but I still feel dizzy. That might be due to the lack of food. I've eaten a small piece of fish, one weetbix and one slice of toast and vegemite since Thursday.

Thank heavens for tea, is all I can say.

So, this week's Bugs will be delayed until tomorrow.

Did you look underneath the refrigerator? Sometimes when you lose things they show up there.

EEK!

*wellness vibes*

Not being able to get warm sounds unpleasant:(.

If I were closer I'd loan an electric blanket.

No wonder you're sick, eating vegemite of all things! ;)

No, I kid. I mean, how am I supposed to know how nasty it is? I've never been to Oz!

Maybe you ate some contaminated beef while you were in England and it's catching up with you now?

Nah, that couldn't be it.

Anyhoo... get better! *Hugs*

Have the best

There's nothing wrong with Vegemite! It's made from the residue of the beer brewing process. It's can only be good.

Sounds highly unpleasant, poor you.. :( Hope you're feeling better tomorrow or at least the world stops spinning and you can eat real food rather then cardboard and yick. Sorry, yeast.

Ugh, the last time I had that it was food poisoning. On a con trip. Believe me, you have my sympathy!

Ginger is good to settle the stomach, I find. Try a gingersnap, or a bit of candied ginger, or even a little ginger ale.

Its the shock of changing from real food Weetabix and Marmite to that imitation weetbix and vegemite . Tea is not ideal as it is a diuretic but it tastes better than the water. Anyhow get better soon as we are still awaiting more pictures on your journal.

there are 160ish photos, about 75MB worth. I'll have to upload them at the office or I'll blow up the satelite.

Illness always seems worse in hot weather. If you are having trouble keeping food down, you should take a multivitamin pill every once in a while to keep your health up and add sugar or honey to your tea to give you some calories. Activated charcoal ment for ingestion can help remove toxins (if it is a bad bacterium, it is the toxins it produces that usually make you sick).
