Sick

I had great plans for today.

I've been taking it easy for the last week and I had decided that it was time to go out and really explore Melbourne. This city is at least the size of Toronto (I'm pretty sure it's bigger, actually) and has tons of funky neighbourhoods to explore, and tons of museums, art galleries, and so on and so forth. Plus it's Monday, the skies were bright blue, not a cloud in sight, and 27C (the warmest day we've had here yet!). So since Jen hadn't had a call for work, our plan had been to head to St. Kilda, a section of town I understand to be somewhat like Kensington, but with a beach.

Doesn't that sound like a great way to spend the day?

Instead, both Jen and I spent the entire day in bed. Or, in my case, running to the bathroom! We're not sure if it was something we ate, but it's highly suspicious that we're both sick at the same time. Two nights ago we hosted a party for our housemates, as a way to get to know them a little. Last night we were at a Thanksgiving dinner for all the Canadian teachers who are down here with Resource Ed, and had turkey and stuffing and all that good stuff (well, Jen didn't have the turkey, but still). At any rate, we've both been laid low with headache, cramps, and other fun symptoms. Whoo hoo. Suffice it to say it's been a pretty crummy day.

It's almost 7pm now and I am finally feeling well enough to risk sitting upright for more than a few moments at a time. Good grief. It's been a long time since I've been this floored by illness. I kept reminding myself that at least I wasn't at school, or having to worry about leaving plans for a supply teacher, or any of that stuff! I guess you could say it's been a long time since I could "afford" to be sick.

But with that said, I sure hope we're both feeling better tomorrow!

(And yes mom, all I'm eating for dinner is a bowl of soup and a glass of flattened sprite. Yumm-m-y.)
