Incubus of Viral Plague

Hey readers, you know when you get one of those stomach bugs and you're convinced you'll never feel normal again? That's what I've been doing this week. Super fun. No sewing going on here, obviously. Just enjoyed my first solid meal of plain rice and broth, though--with a dollop of applesauce for desert! (Being on a diet like this always makes me think of Emily Blunt in The Devil Wears Prada: "I'm just one stomach flu away from my goal weight." Hilarious--until you've got the stupid stomach flu.)

I hope to be back to blogging and answering your comments/e-mails/tweets very soon!

Oh, I hope you feel better soon. That's no fun at all!

Hope you feel better soon. I know and love that line from Prada! When I got my Prada glasses, my daughter (ever supportive) said, it's true, mom! I said what's true? She replied, The Devil really does wear Prada!

Aw!

Don't really care for the stomach flu diet.
I hope you feel better soon!

Get well soon Gertie! I got a bug a few months ago from our canteen lady. (I know I hate the thought of it now!) I felt exactly the same way like I was never going to enjoy a proper meal again. A couple of weeks after getting better I got stomach ache because I was so stressed but I was convinced I was ill again and cried on the phone to my mum wailing "but I don't want to be sick again!". Corr I am daft!

Hang in there honey. You'll outlive this. ;-)

Really hope you feel better soon. You've had a lot on your plate for a while now, so I guess your body was going to force you to stop at some point. I'm sure Jeff is doing a grand job of looking after you.

HandMaid said...

Oh no! Poor lamb. Well I hope you're not surviving on a cube of cheese when you feel faint.

heather said...

I've been thinking about that same quote this week, while also feeling like I'll never be normal again thanks to a stomach bug. I'm glad I'm not the only one, but sorry for your misery.

Bridget said...

Oh my word, you and me both, I've been sick since the start of the year, I hate it. I just can't wait to feel better.

ElizabethB said...

Hope you feel better. I never realized how great water tastes until I went without during my last stomach flu.

Laura said...

I'm so sorry to hear that, I hate feeling that way. Do get better soon.

I hope you feel better soon--take it easy!

(At my Weight Watchers meeting a couple months ago, one woman's weekly "success" was that she'd lost x number of pounds that week due to stomach flu. She then proceeded to offer to shake the hands of anyone who wanted the benefit of the flu in anticipation of next week's weigh-in. Uh, thanks but no thanks.)

Leigh said...

That is one of my favorite lines from DWP. Much more entertaining if you don't actually HAVE the stomach flu...Feel better soon!

Lindalouise said...

Take good care of you & the kitty's are helping you I am sure, bless you.

Diane said...

:'-( Go easy on the food, even if it seems like you want to eat: bananas, rice, applesauce, toast... Of course, chicken soup, when you can tolerate it! Just rest & recover thoroughly. Being sick takes a lt of energy!

Casey said...

Feel better soon, Gertie!!! :)

Oh, Gertie, please let us know when your next Craftsy course is online! I have currently undertaken to do a whole sixties Mad men-inspired suit, but I am stuck on the collar. Really want to know when you course airs!!

Thank you (and hope you are feeling much better!!)

Hoping that you are feeling better, super loving your blog. Have I mentioned that I am obsessing about gussets? I want to sew a project just so that I can make them, lol.
