When I woke up in the morning I knew straight away that I wouldn’t make it to the office. I was weak all over and my upset tummy was now accompanied with a massive headache. I tried to sleep in as long as possible but its so difficult here with the early rising sun and the excessively loud roosters right outside my window. Nick wasn’t feeling well either and had stayed home as well so at least I had someone to keep my company. Once I was up I spent most of the day on the computer trying to organize pictures. I have been constantly taking them so I needed to sort through and find all the ones I took as inspiration for colors and print for the new line at work. When I wasn’t working on pictures I mostly just sketched ideas that I had for stamps for batiking. I managed to keep down some orange juice and some bread. I tried to make it to dinner, it was fufu and I didn’t want to miss out on another good dish I’ve been looking forward to. I grabbed a sprite instead of a beer this time but that was really all I could get down. For some reason I had about two or three bites of my fufu and was instantly full. It was the kind of full that’s painful and completely uncomfortable no matter which way you sit. Once we got back to the house my stomach had swollen and really hard, to the point I looked like I was carrying a baby!

Ekiette had made me some more of that tea and I took an anti gas medicine hoping it would help. I was pretty apprehensive about trying it since I knew what it did to me last night. She said to fight the urge to throw up because it really does help you tummy. I think I would try anything at this point. I was able to drink two cups without throwing it back up so hopefully ill be feeling better in the morning.
