janestarz | Stomach flu

It's not very often I am this ill. I feel as limp as a dishrag, being struck down by the stomach flu. Yesterday I made a record attempt at Imitating Cat by sleeping for a few hours every so many minutes. I had trouble drinking water (it just didn't agree with my stomach) but that cleared up after a bout of vomiting at three pm. I felt a lot better after that, even managed to keep a buttered biscuit down and drank nearly a liter of water. Even in my weakened state not getting any fluids in had me worried, but all was well in the end.

An early night and 12 hours of sleep later I was up again because my back doesn't agree with lying in bed that long.
Of course, sleeping was resumed as soon as I was downstairs on the couch, and by now I've recuperated enough to feel like having some toast. Sitting down is okay, if a bit cold, but the cats are happy to oblige. I will not deny that more sleep is an option. The cats try to encourage me as much as they can, and Lisa is downright sticky, refusing to leave my lap, blanket, side, feet or whatever she is lying on, for more than a second.
Suffice to say I couldn't have done it without her.
