Hot Coals

I’d rather walk over hot coals, barefoot, than puke. Today…it’s looking like I might have some serious burns on my feet. I feel so shitty today. I’m drinking gingerale and downing Saltines like crazy. Man I came so close to barfing this morning… YUCK! I thought I would have gotten used to feeling like this over the past few weeks. Nope – each day I find myself thinking “I can’t believe that I feel so awful!” I’ll be 13 weeks on the 9th – my chiropractor ensures me I’ll wake up that morning and feel like a new woman! Then there’s the rest of the population that tells me that they, or their friend, sister, aunt, dog…whatever…was sick for the whole nine months. Who tells people such things?! Especially when it’s obvious that’s not what I want to hear?!

I’m not sure how I’m going to make it through today. I’m actually supposed to be on vacation, but decided that since we couldn’t afford to go away that I would just work instead. What was I thinking?! Jesus H. I’d kill to still be in bed. And if I was still in bed, I wouldn’t have had the little episode this morning with almost vomiting. I’ve slept in the truck a few times at lunch over the past few weeks and decided that I wouldn’t do it anymore (after sleeping for an hour and a half one day last week – OOPS), but today, I think I might have to.

 

So it’s now almost 3pm. I managed to stay awake and get a few things done, but I can’t stand that I have another hour and 45 left of today. How to kill the time?… Well, I’ll start with posting this half assed entry and then read the newspaper or something…anything until I can go home and nap!

Awwww hun, I know you don’t mean to, but you made me laugh with this entry. People just want you to know that it could always be worse ~ why they feel the need to tell you IDK, but apparently it’s a common thing. Just wait until they start asking if they can touch your belly …

I don’t know anyone who had it for the full 9 months. Ginger biscuits are great for it from what I’m told. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

sorry to hear you are still not feeling better. HUGS

I hate puking too… think it would be better than walking over coals though. hope you feel better soon – maybe at the 13 weeks as your chiro says

When preggers with my first – I quite puking when I peaked over the 3mos part. Just totally stopped 🙂 So you’ll feel better soon & start craving all sorts of disgusting things that you would walk over hot coals to get!! LOL!! Enjoy it sweetie, I know it’s tough right now, but you’ve got a little wee one in there trying to sort things out too 🙂 *huge hugs* Always,

ryn: I don’t get what you mean when you say I’d be looking for work outside Alberta/that it’s crazy here. can you elaborate? good or bad? I thought there’s major need/shortage everywhere by the way – when are you gonna update! how’s the pregnancy?

thanks for the notes. good to know – don’t think I really wanna do nursing anyway. I think they are more in need of all health care professionals in SK… but I really don’t watch the news enough, you caught me! do you know of any other job leads? anything at all?

The thing that got me the most when I was pg was the tiredness. Sleeping on break would’ve been me. Except I don’t work long days. I couldn’t wait to get home to go to bed.

I actually considered walking on hot coals once but I’ve never voluntarily vomited.
