Noels annual holiday gathering was last night. At the beginning of the party she told us she did the math and figured that this is the 20th year of having us over! I hadn't been feeling great during the day but not so poorly that I didn't think I could make it. Sadly, I was wrong. About 2 hours in the nausea overtook me and I ended up in the bathroom for a while. Everyone felt terrible for me and Dale took me home.
This morning I texted the above pictures to Caroline, Stephen, and Noel saying, "So sorry I had to leave last night. I felt we were just getting started! Although, as you're aware, based on how I was feeling there was not other choice. I continued to get worse after getting home and I was up multiple times throughout the night. Woke up this morning feeling better - no more nausea and so far everything is staying down. However I'm feeling week, exhausted, and dehydrated. On the couch now. Here's my view. I've been joined by this mouse who stowed away with us upon leaving last night. Says her name is Chrissy..." [See above two photos]
Laying low today. Ate a little bit and trying to take in some coffee even though I'm not in the mood for it. However, I don't want to go without it and risk a headache later.
Noel texted me back a bit later saying, "Don't apologize! So glad your'e feeling a bit better today. Take good care of yourself. I hope Dale stays well too. Peace."
Caroline responded, "I'm glad you're feeling better! I had that little bug too - quick but feisty. Take care and give Chrissy some cheese!"
