I’m sorry in advance that this is going to be a shorter post. But hopefully you all understand.
Because of the timing of the holidays this year, I have several days off from work. It’s the longest break I’ve had in a while and I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with my time. I knew I wanted to relax a bit and catch up on some fun things, but it looks like my body had a different idea with how to start things off.
I don’t know exactly what caused this, but it looks like something I ate on Sunday gave me food poisoning. I woke up on Monday, I had very intense stomach cramps. These were similar to the cramps I usually get from my period, but they were much higher up in my body. I’m grateful that they didn’t cause nausea, but they were extremely painful. My body was almost going numb when the pain was the most intense. I tried my best to have a normal Monday (since that’s normally my day off), but it was impossible. I spent almost the entire day sleeping and trying to get through the pain.
I think whatever caused the food poisoning has worked its way out of my system or isn’t affecting me anymore, but I’m still feeling a bit weak. I’m going to spend today continuing to try to recover and I’m hoping that by tomorrow I’ll feel fine. But I know based on how I usually have to deal with pain that I just have to be gentle with myself and do what I need to do. But I’m optimistic that I got over this food poisoning and I’ll be myself by the end of today.
I guess I just need to be grateful that I have today off work as well and have tomorrow free in case I need that time to recover. And I’m glad I didn’t make any big plans for having so many days off because I would hate it if I had to cancel plans or feel like this on a trip. So I guess sometimes these extra days off come right when I need them.
