A Disappointing Day....

I woke up this morning with a howling stomach ache.  I knew immediately what caused it.  I suspected as much when I made myself an egg salad sandwich from some that was four days old.  Even tho' it was in the fridge the whole time, with all the door openings, it was bound to be dicey.  It looked and smelled all right and didn't taste bad to me either.  But, at the time, I was very hungry.

So I was paying the price and I was expecting two visitors.  Tara had said she was going to stop by after they got home from camping and Sheepie said she was going to bring her dog over to play with Baron for a bit.  I was really looking forward to that.

After the Beast left for church, I decided I was going to make a roast chicken and some stuffing for our dinner as a surprise.  I ran up to Walmart (okay, I drove there!), got what I needed and a few other things I wanted, then came home.  When I got into the house and was going to start working on our meal, I found myself shaky as hell.  I could hardly stand up and my tummy was going nuts!  I had to lay down.  

When the Beast got home, I apologized to him about the chicken and promised that I would feel better tomorrow.  I knew eventually I would have to go to the bathroom and the stomach ache would relent.

He made up some meatballs for meatball sandwiches but knew I wouldn't have the appetite for that.  He still brought me two small meatballs to eat since he was worried about my not having eaten anything.  He also offered me a sandwich before he put everything away just before he went to bed.

Needless-to-say, neither Tara nor Sheepie showed up or called to let me know they weren't coming.  I knew that Sheepie had to work and, even tho' it's supposed to be a short day for her, they often ask her to stay longer to help.  I texted Tara because she doesn't answer her phone when she is busy.  And, oh boy!...was she busy!  She just had too much on her plate so I told her I understood and that I loved her.  She has much to deal with since Keith starts school tomorrow.  Not a full day but an Engineering intro.  And don't forget that Chance is now in school.  They had a nice weekend of camping (but came home later than planned) but then reality hits you.

So, I was both disappointed and yet glad since I had this stomach ache from hell.  I won't be up late, that's for sure.  In fact, that is why I am posting this earlier than usual.

Love you all.  I wish you all a great week.  ***Hugs***
