Sick as the proverbial dog

Well, rare that it happens, but something got to me. I think it's mild food poisoning. Tummy is in knots, I've puked twice, I have the shivers REAL bad, and diarrhea. All the signs of mild food poisoning, and it has ruined my night, possibly me last work day (tomorrow), and hopefully NOT the weekend. If you don't hear from me, assume I got better within the next 72 hours (this since I suck at journaling)
1:38 AM update: just barfed my brains out three more times in a row. I never thought I could contain this bloody much vomit. In between I was incoherently moaning, groaning, and sniffling. This was just the most recent of my body's eruptions, as it seems my body has determined it shall turn itself inside-out in THE messiest way possible without the use of explosives. Hopefully I can get a little sleep.
4:40 AM update: slept VERY fitfully, not at all restful, and have woken feeling that strong nausea again. I'm pretty sure I'm up for another worship session at the foot of the porcelain deity. Nose has already begun to run in anticipation, means the salivating and drooling won't be far behind. I'm calling in sick today, cancelling all plans, and sleeping if I can. I suspect my day upcoming will be misery.
10:39 AM update: Not a whole lot of sleep, but some, thank the gods. Woke with a headache, and amazingly managed to choke down a pair of aspirin, so they're working on that right now. I'm still queasy, but not at the "I'm gonna barf NOW!" stage. Hopefully the worst is over.
8:29 PM update: Well, feeling a lot less like dying now. Sleep from roughly 11 AM until now did a fantastic job. I get the feeling I'm decently recovered, and I hope this is so.

Thanks, Mama Bear. I hope they reach me, my latest bout is upcoming and I'm not keen on it's arrival.
