This morning, even though I wasn’t feeling any better, I got up at about 10:45 and got myself ready to drive my daughter to her extra modern dance rehearsal. We left at about 11:30. She danced from 12:00 – 2:00. After dropping her off, I went to Walmart. I bought a few things that we needed. Then I went to the Starbucks that was close and bought an earl grey tea (2 milks, 1 honey) and I bought a blueberry muffin. I drove back to the studio to wait for the rest of the time. It wasn’t quite as cold outside as it has been, so I was able to shut off the van and just start it every now and then to warm it up. When she was finished dancing, we drove back to Beaumont and stopped at the Sobeys in town. I bought a few groceries that we needed. Then we went home. I put away the groceries, then I did something completely different from the norm, I went upstairs and laid down!! How surprising right?! From then on I basically stayed in bed! My kids came in every now and then to see me, but I really didn’t do much else or feel up to much else. I got my son into bed when it was bedtime. I kind of half fell asleep after I got him to sleep. Then I woke up and went on my phone for a while. Now I’m writing this. Then I’m going to get ready for bed.

I hardly slept last night. I mean I literally laid awake in bed all bloody night feeling like shit!! I’m really very sick of this nausea and diarrhea…hopefully I hear back from the lab next week and they actually find something…it’s simply not normal to feel this crappy for 2 weeks straight! So, surprise surprise! I stayed in bed today! My oldest daughter came into my room when she got home from work, probably around 3:30. She had to work early today and she was tired when she got home. She fell asleep beside me in my bed. My younger daughter had a winter fun day at the camp that she worked at last summer all day today. So her friend picked her up early this morning and she was gone for most of the day. My hubby wanted to go hang out with his friend, so my son brought his Switch upstairs and he laid on the bed in between my daughter and I and played a video game. Then when my younger daughter came home, she came into my room. We got some food for the kids and I made myself some chicken noodle soup again. My younger daughter went upstairs to her room. Then my oldest daughter, my son and I watched How To Train Your Dragon 1 (because it’s such a darn entertaining movie!!) while we ate. Then she went to bed. I got my son ready for bed. Then I went back to bed also. I went on my phone for a while, drifted off a bit and now I’m quickly writing this. My hubby is still out. I know that I heard him come in, but when I took something downstairs for my son a while ago, my van was back, but he wasn’t here…so he must have dropped off the vehicle and left in his friend’s car. I’m going to get ready for bed now.

This morning I did the same thing as yesterday morning, I got my son ready upstairs and my hubby got him ready downstairs. Well, today I went downstairs and fed and let the dogs out. I said goodbye to my son, then went back upstairs. I said goodbye to my daughter and went back to bed. I stayed in bed all day, like usual. I got up a few times. I said goodbye to my oldest daughter when she was going to work. My younger daughter came into my room later in the day to talk to me. My hubby talked to me about a couple things. I got up briefly when my oldest daughter came home from work, well when my hubby went and got her. The black car didn’t start today, so my hubby drove and picked her up from work. I made us some chicken noodle soup. My hubby made everyone else pizza earlier. However, my daughter feels like she’s getting a cold, so she felt like soup and after the way I felt yesterday after eating that sub, there was no way that I was going to eat pizza!! So I had soup with her! Then I let the dogs out and filled water bottles and then went back upstairs! What’s fun filled day it was today! I got my son into bed when he came upstairs! Then I went on my phone for a while. Now I’m going to get ready for bed and see if I sleep tonight!!

Last night I slept like hell. I was up a lot, using the facilities… and I just didn’t get a whole lot of sleep. I asked my hubby if he would get my son fed, make his lunch and drive him to school again, so that I could stay in bed. He agreed. So, I got up and got my son ready upstairs, dressed, etc and my hubby got him ready downstairs. Unfortunately, I didn’t really actually sleep much at all today. So, I’m feeling extremely exhausted right now… I did rest I guess, as I was in bed for most of the day, but I didn’t actually really sleep much. I got up when the kids came home from school. I dropped my daughter off at dance and went to Subway to get my daughter some supper. I got myself a 6 inch sub for supper as well. I dropped her food off at the studio. Then I drove to my parent’s house. I ate my sub there. Bad bad idea…after hardly eating for the past week and a half!! My tummy is so so angry at me!! Very very unhappy with me!! After I ate I laid down on their couch for a bit. Then I had a bath in their nice big tub!! That was how I spent my Valentines evening… Then I had to go get my daughter from dance. Her ballet teacher ordered them heart shaped pizzas!! I picked her up and we drove home. When I got home my oldest daughter wanted me to go to Shoppers with her, she picked up a stuffed animal and some chocolates for her brother and her sister for Valentine’s Day and chocolate for her dad. I told her not to get me any. The way my tummy has been, there was definitely no way that I was going to be eating chocolate any time soon!! When I got home I let out the dogs and filled water bottles. Then I went upstairs to get ready for bed. I went on my phone for a while. I’m beat and feel absolutely ill 🤢. I need to get some sleep…

This morning I barely got out of bed. My son wanted me to get him up a bit earlier then (I feel like I need to go back to high school…or perhaps junior high, I know that I keep messing up my “thens” and “thans”… it’s driving me crazy!! I guess I could just ask my english teacher mother and she would tell me! Anyway…) he wanted me to wake him up earlier then (?!) normal so that he could do something on his Fortnite vide game with my hubby. So, I woke him up. Got him his clothes and he brushed his hair, etc. Then he had me wake up my hubby and they went downstairs to do whatever it was that they wanted to do on the video game. I laid in bed. By the time I went downstairs my hubby had already fed him breakfast and made him his lunch for school. I asked if he would drive him to school today. So, I basically let the dogs out, said goodbye to my son and went back to bed. Guess why?! Tough one there…because my damn tummy felt like shit!! Big bleeping surprise!! (I’m wanting to swear lots out of pure frustration, but I really try not to do that on here…so I went with bleeping!Huh. Sounds stupid!) Anyway, I kind of feel like I’m wasting my life away. Lying in bed day in day out. As my body wastes away, because I’m hardly eating anything at all…for a good week and a half now. I haven’t actually weighed myself since Friday, but I’m certain that I’ve lost more weight. I set an alarm for 1:55pm, so that I could make one of those “walk in” (they call it “walk in”, but you have to make an appointment that afternoon…strange!) appointments for this evening. I didn’t sleep all day, just kind of off and on. At 2:00 I made my dr’s appointment for 6:00 tonight. I basically stayed in bed until 5:30!!! Yes, I have a fun, interesting and exciting life! My kids came in a couple times to talk to me during that time. I probably would have gotten up to drive my daughter to dance, but her earlier hip hop class was canceled today, so she only had a late class today, which I planned on driving her to after my appointment. I got up at 5:30, made myself look presentable, in my jeans that I bought a couple months ago, because I lost so much weight my other ones were falling off. Well, these ones are now starting to do the same thing. I’ve tried to shrink them…without much luck. With the hubby not working, I can’t really afford new clothes right now…hmmm. So, loose clothes it was! Besides, they at least don’t bother my tummy!! (Always a bright side right?!) The dr, of course, (just like my Momma said) wants to me do a stool culture. (Which, by the way, I, bleeping, [yes with the bleeping again!!] hate!! And I’m truly not a fan of the word hate and I don’t use it lightly!! Stool samples suck generally, because I mean who in their right mind wants to collect a stool sample?! Right?! But, doing so when literally EVERYTHING, makes you gag [like brushing your teeth, the wind blowing your own hair into your mouth, feeding the dogs, taking out the garbage…you get the picture – EVERYTHING literally makes me gag!!] sucks even harder!! The last time I had to do a, bleeping, stool sample I literally threw up all over my bedroom floor!! I tried running out of the bathroom to escape the not so pleasant ENTIRE experience and ended up throwing up in my bedroom!! Seriously NOT fun!! So, needless to say, this is not something that I’m looking forward to doing!) Okay, enough with the dramatics… (gee, and I wonder where my kids get it from – lol!) The dr also gave me more of the nausea medication that I already take (that I’m not certain actually works…but hey, she tried!) and she gave me a medication that is supposed to help with the cramping and pain that accompanies the diarrhea. So, that one is new and wasn’t covered under our craptacular health plan. I guess I will see if that helps. She wants me to do the stool culture ASAP!! So, I guess that I will go to the lab tomorrow morning after I drop off my son at school to pick up the stupid collection thingy that they give you. It was closed by the time I was finished at the dr’s office tonight. I had to wait for an hour to go into the examination room for my appointment. Then I quickly went to the Shoppers and they said that the prescription would take a half an hour. I told them that I would have to come back later. I had to get home to drive my daughter to dance!! So, I went home and picked her up and we drove to the city. I dropped her off, then I went to Timmy’s and had the same as yesterday, my earl grey tea (2 milks, 1 honey) and a rather plain muffin (I figured I should try eating something today…) Then I went back to the studio. She only had the one class, so it didn’t make any sense driving back home. I waited for her to finish, then we drove back to Beaumont. Her friend that we usually drive home has the flu that is going through their studio, so she wasn’t there tonight. I stopped at the Shoppers and picked up my prescription, then we went home. My hubby was putting my son to bed when we got home, but when he heard me come in he wanted me to come sing to him. I let the dogs out and filled up my daughter and my water bottles and then went upstairs and sang to my son. Then I went on my phone for a while. Now I’m going to get ready for bed.

This morning I did the exact same thing that I did yesterday morning, I went right back to bed after I dropped off my son at school. My damn tummy is no better. Here I go over-sharing again, but I had had diarrhea 4 times, beginning at 6:45 and it was 8:45! I was feeling sick and nauseous and tired! I stayed in bed all day again!! I know I cannot keep going on like this, but today is the day that I stay in the city when I drive my daughter to dance, so I couldn’t make one of those walk-in dr appointments at the Beaumont clinic for this evening, so I’m going to do so tomorrow. I got up when my oldest came into my room at about 3:20. I was getting up around then anyway, because I knew that I had to drive my daughter to dance. I got dressed and took enough Imodium to get me to, hopefully, last through her two dance classes. Then we left at around 4:00. She had forgotten her favourite blanket at her friend’s house when she slept over there last week, so we quickly drove by there on the way and picked it up. I dropped her off and drove to the Timmy’s and bought an Earl Grey tea (2 milks, 1 honey!!) and a very plain muffin, since I hadn’t eaten anything. Then I drove back to the studio. Although it was cold outside, I just waited in the van. I intended to drive to my parent’s house, but the traffic to the Timmy’s was horrendous! It was so backed up that what would have normally been a 5 minute drive turned into a 25 minute drive! So, time wise, it no longer made much sense to drive much sense to go to my parent’s house. I probably should have gone inside the studio and turned off the van, in this weather!! However, I was just feeling so shitty and anti-social! So, I was very un-environmentally friendly and let it run the whole time… I can just hear people sighing and tsking at me right now – lol. When she was finished dancing we drove home. My hubby had made spaghetti for supper. I just filled up my and the kids water bottles and went upstairs and laid down in bed (because that’s fun and different!!) My hubby brought my son upstairs at his bedtime and he wanted me to read and sing to him (my son, not my hubby – lol) so I did that. Then I went on my phone briefly. Now I’m going to brush my teeth and wash my face, so I feel a little less gross. Then I’m heading to bed. Hopefully I can sleep without spending the entire night on the toilet…🥴

This morning, after I dropped off my son at school, I went back upstairs and went to bed. My stupid stomach was still feeling nauseous and every time that I go to the bathroom I end up having diarrhea…still!! My mom thinks that it’s something more than a normal bug and that I should go to a dr. I guess that it has been going on for a long time…it started bugging me a lot again last Monday night, so that makes it a week, which is longer than your average bug. It bothers me that it’s kept me off of the treadmill and from doing my yoga, because I was doing so well and getting into a good routine. I don’t want to fall out of it, but I really just don’t feel up to doing all that much!! I literally stayed in bed until my daughter came into my room at about 3:10. She comes home early every second day this semester, because she has a spare last block every second day! She woke me up, because she wanted me to drive her to dance today. So, I got dressed and I drove her to dance when my hubby got home from picking up my son from school. I dropped her off, then drove back home. I made a simple supper of tortellini tonight and I ate a bit of it. Then my daughter and I went to see Mary Poppins at South Common. We have wanted to see it since it’s come out and really wanted to see it while it was still in the theatres. I had enough Scene points to get my ticket for free, so my daughter only had to pay for her ticket. She bought us drinks. She bought some popcorn, but because of the way my tummy has been, I barely ate any. The movie was really very good!! It definitely did not disappoint!! There were some sadder scenes compared to the first one, but that is to be expected if you know the premise of the movie; that Michael Bank’s wife has recently (within the past year) passed away. It was very entertaining and Emily Blunt fills the shoes of Mary Poppins quite well!! She does a great job and must have watched and rewatched the original movie over and over again to get the nuances of Mary Poppins down pat!! She was wonderful!! I definitely found it entertaining and will certainly watch it again! After the movie, we braved the cold and drove home in my cold van, which didn’t take too long to warm up, thankfully! My autostart actually worked from inside the lobby by the area where you buy the popcorn! I was pretty surprised! Once we got home, I let the dogs out and then came upstairs and started to get ready for bed. I doddled a bit, because I just wasn’t feeling well – so I took my time. Then I went on my phone for a bit. I’m going to get to bed right away now though.

I spent half my day in bed again. I’m just really not feeling well. I wish that I knew why I felt so damn nauseous. It’s so bloody disruptive to everything that I do. It makes it really difficult to function!! Super frustrating!! So is the darn diarrhea! My daughter and I did some laundry, then I ate some plain toast. Afterwards, we drove to the Nisku Costco and finished our grocery shopping. We stopped at the Shoppers on the way home and bought a Mundare sausage and then we went to Rexall and I got some gingerale for my tummy. Then we went home. We brought all of the groceries inside. Then we took the black car and got gas in it, so that she has gas in it for work tomorrow morning. My hubby put a frozen lasagna in the oven for supper while we were gone. He put the groceries away while we were getting gas. When we got home we did more laundry. Then I fried some perogies for my younger daughter, my hubby made her and my son perogies because they really don’t like lasagna. After her food was ready, I ate a bit of lasagna, not that much, because of how my tummy was feeling. Then I washed our water bottles and filled them for the night. I checked the laundry and then went upstairs. My hubby gave my son a quick bath and then I got him into bed. Once he was asleep I went on my phone for a while. Now I’m going to get ready for bed.

I only spent half the day in bed today!! So that’s a step in the right direction! My tummy doesn’t actually feel all that much better ☹️. I wish that I knew why. I forced myself to get out of bed and have a shower at around 1:30 this afternoon. After my shower, I dried hair. Then I had to sit down for a while, because I was feeling super nauseous and dizzy, probably because I hadn’t really eaten anything in 3 days (except for the small bit of soup that I had yesterday.) I actually lost 10 pounds in those 3 days!! Crazy!! I’m sure that no food and diarrhea will do that to you. My older daughter came upstairs when she got home. We talked about her work for a while. Then we started to make a grocery list. We went downstairs and I had a couple pieces of plain toast and we finished our grocery list and meal plan. Then we got dressed and we went to No Frills, Sobeys and Shoppers for the things on our list. We also made a small Costco list. We’re going to go there tomorrow. She actually has tomorrow off. By the time that we got home it was getting pretty late for supper! She was meeting her friend at a movie, so she had to get going. I made something quick for supper. Then made myself some chicken noodle soup, because my tummy still isn’t good. Then I went upstairs to get myself ready for bed. My son came upstairs too. Once he was in bed I went on my phone for a while. Then I talked with my daughter when she got home from her movie. I stayed up later then I wanted to. I’m going to get ready for bed.

And another useless day!!! Am I ever going to feel better?! Hopefully sooner rather than later! My daughter and I spent another full day together in my bed. The fun never ends in our house! Woohoo!! I can’t believe that this is my third day in a row that I’ve spent in bed! That’s crazy!! I actually ate half a bowl of chicken noodle soup today with 4 whole crackers!! So that’s something I guess…not much, but something! I feel like I so desperately need a shower!! I just feel yucky. I’m really sick of feeling like this…

I’m going to brush my teeth and wash my face. Then I’m going to get some sleep.
