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!

  4. 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!

  6. 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!

  8. 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.

  10. 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.

  15. 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.)

  23. :'-( 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!
