three days gone

One-third of my vacation is gone, and I haven't enjoyed any of it yet.  I didn't turn on my computer for two days, so you know it was bad.

I made the mistake late Friday of grabbing a quick burger at McDonald's at 9pm.  By 11pm, I was already feeling the first twinge of nausea.  Who knows if it was the meat, the lettuce, or the mayonnaise that had gone bad?  Saturday was awful. I had to lay down on the bathroom floor a few times because using the toilet left me light-headed on the verge of fainting.  Sunday was better.  Monday was a little better, although walking around the house still leaves me very tired.

I try to stay horizontal rather than vertical, and I sleep a whole lot.  This evening, I finally feel steady enough to sit up at my computer desk to check messages and write a brief post.  I may lay back in a warm bath this evening, the first cleaning I've had since Friday morning.

Food poisoning is a lousy way to start a vacation.  My poor gut just can't catch a break.
