<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It started the previous weekend, when #2 just began projectile vomiting all over the place.\u00a0 No warning, no indication of illness, just vomit, lots of it, and spread out throughout the duration of the day.\u00a0 It was quite unpleasant.\u00a0 But after a good night\u2019s sleep, the worst of it was over, and after another 24 hours, it was as if she were never sick at all.<\/span><\/p>\n A few days later, mythical wife rolls in from work, and is pretty much laid up for the remainder of the day with similar symptoms.\u00a0 That night, I hear more crying from usual from #1 on the baby monitor, to the point where I feel like I have to check in on her.\u00a0 The scent of vomit is in the air upon entering her room, and it turns out that she too has caught the bug.\u00a0 After several hours of hanging out with her, reading her books, and letting her purge everything that\u2019s been in her system, by 1 am, she\u2019s finally asleep.<\/span><\/p>\n Same thing, a day later, nobody is vomiting anymore, and a day after that and everyone is mostly back to normal again, although mythical wife seemed to drag a little bit more than the girls did.<\/span><\/p>\n Days later, I\u2019m on the phone with my mom on the way home from work.\u00a0 It had been a long day, and one that really required the second cup of coffee in order to make it home.\u00a0 I\u2019m telling my mom how it very fortunate that I managed to avoid the bug, considering how hard it hit the wife and kids.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Sure enough, no sooner than maybe a half hour after getting home, I\u2019m beginning to feel unsettled.\u00a0 After the kids are put to bed, I don\u2019t dawdle much and head to bed myself, feeling cruddy.\u00a0 About an hour later, the first bout of vomiting occurs, and its apparent that I must definitely did not escape the wrath of the bug either.<\/span><\/p>\n The following day is a miserable day of illness where the only thing I did when I wasn\u2019t laying down drifting in and out of sleep, is a death march to and from the bathroom with some rather unpleasant purges.\u00a0 I slog through the work day, and my entire WFH Friday is completely burned, where I get no work done, and accomplish none of the little side chores I do in between.\u00a0 I\u2019m starving and thirsty, but don\u2019t want to put anything into my body when it\u2019s clearly rejecting everything in sight.\u00a0 I don\u2019t get back to sleep until closer to 4 am due to the constant need to get up and go to the toilet.<\/span><\/p>\n But much like everyone else, I\u2019m mostly fine in 72 hours, which seems to be the norm for the adults with the bug.\u00a0 Lucid enough to be able to watch and slog through the Super Bowl, which was boring as fuck until the end and OT.<\/span><\/p>\n However, the real tragedy of me getting the bug is that, circling back to that second cup of coffee that I had on Thursday, I know that had nothing to do with me getting sick, but because it was one of the last things I consumed before I started getting sick, my body has decided to hold it responsible all the same.\u00a0 Even now as I write this, I\u2019m leery on the idea of drinking a cup of black coffee, which is how I drink it at work because my workplace offers no creamers or additives and often times doesn\u2019t even provide the coffee in the first place.\u00a0 But when I do drink coffee at the office, it\u2019s black, except now my body is revolting at the idea of consuming anymore black coffee right now.<\/span><\/p>\n Even my morning cup of coffee, which has some flavored creamer in it, I\u2019m still a little ehhh about at the moment, but I guess the added flavor and the fact that my body can\u2019t really start without it, it\u2019s an exception to be allowed, but frankly coffee in general has been very unappealing since I\u2019d gotten sick, which completely sucks because I love coffee, and this is why the human body is capable of being so cruel.<\/span><\/p>\n Coffee had nothing to do with my getting sick, but because coffee undoubtedly made its way out during my mass purging, it\u2019s like my body is blaming it anyway, and I\u2019m still working myself back to being able to actually enjoy coffee again, and I feel like it\u2019s going take an obnoxious amount of time before I really feel comfort and relaxation from a really good cup of coffee again.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It started the previous weekend, when #2 just began projectile vomiting all over the place.\u00a0 No warning, no
