Not feeling too well right now
I was hoping to get a few more pages or even a chapter or two written in the last day or two, but fate had other plans. For the last few days, Leah had been sick with the flu, and yesterday… I started to show signs of getting it myself. Only difference is mine got worse, as it turned into a stomach flu. I’ve been barfing up everything for the last 40 hours, and have been spending every waking minute in bed or the bathroom.
Chris had to take today off to watch the kids cause I was too sick to do so… So that’s at least a day or two where I could have been writing, tossed down the drain. I’ll try to get back on track over the weekend, but can’t guarentee anything as I’m still not 100%. But I’m going to try to at least spit out a thousand or two words this weekend.
Good news is I was healthy enough to take the kids out for Halloween and attend yesterday’s councelling session. I actually started to get ill about four hours after I got back from that session. Leah was already too sick to attend so I had to go to our first marrige councelling session alone, but I had waited so long for this appointment that I didn’t want to wait again. It was a good session and I was able to talk about a lot of things that had been going on, which was good. It was good to talk about some things that I had been keeping to myself, for various reasons. Hopefuly Leah will be up for the next session… cause we both need to be there to make real progress.
But for now I’m on a strict diet of dry toast and flat ginger ale. That seems to be doing the trick, and I’ll be back later. I’m going back to bed to relax and take it easy. In case I’m not back later on, everyone have a good weekend and I’ll try to be around…

Good luck!

Drink plenty of fluids- broth, tea, water and Gatorade. You will really feel worse if you dehydrate. Hope you feel better soon.

Try some plain white rice- the boil in a bag kind is easy and quick. It ALWAYS works for me. I don’t add anything to it- no soysauce, ginger, or milk/sugar. Just plain. If you’re having diarrhea too, banana’s are good. Did you get pictures of the kids Trick-Or-Treating? What did they dress as? Perhaps it’s a good thing you got to go to the first session alone. Since Leah is responsible for

the issues that have caused the MOST trouble in your relationship, I’m sure it felt good to be able to go in and get all of that out without having to worry about her sitting right there next to you, disagreeing or interrupting, or trying to place the blame onto you insead. I do hope you are BOTH able to attend the next one. How often are you going to be going?

Feel better and good luck with the writing. Your health is more important right now, like Femina said, do NOT let yourself get dehydrated. You’ll feel SO much sicker. I prefer Powerade to Gatorade. xoxoxo
