Day 11 did not start well. For the second day in a row, I had a very upset stomach. Yesterday I could explain: I had eaten very spicy Thai Food the day before, and my body had protested. I blame today’s stomach on the aspirin I took last night right before bed – at least I hope that’s what it was! Usually, I wouldn’t take aspirin right before bed, but I had bruised my thumb yesterday and by evening time, it hurt so bad that I had to put it on ice. 20 minutes later, my thumb felt no better, just colder, so I took two aspirin and went to bed. This morning, I felt like I had a hole in my stomach, and my bowels were sending pain messages all over. My stomach halted all progress for the day. The thumb’s good though…
Yesterday also started finals week for my son. For the rest of the week, he’s going to be home at 12:30. For me, this is too early, as I am still in the swing of my day. I don’t think I’m going to enjoy it when school has a holiday or when school is out, as it will disrupt my schedule. How very selfish of me! I should want to spend as much time as I can with my kids.
Actually, my son was quite helpful when he got home yesterday. We handled the car battery issue together, and then we went shopping for supplies. Later, I gave him a guitar lesson. It was good one-on-one time with him.
Well, today turned out to be a wasted day. My stomach cramps lasted the entire day – I couldn’t stand up for more than a few minutes at a time without severe pain, and I spent a lot of time in the bathroom. At least I got a lot of reading done, and I did a fair amount of movie watching as well. I definitely don’t want another repeat of today!
Day 11 mood: Annoyed.
