you also know you're tired when
a stomach virus sounds like a vacation. today i attended a family function where i was consuming a casserole made by a family friend. please note: for me, this is erratic behavior. i hate casseroles. i hate food made by someone with whom i have never spent time in their home where i can observe their kitchen and home life habits. but today my defenses were down. lately i've been tired. i wore my thong underwear backwards for cripe's sake. i'm vulnerable. please note: the friend-made casserole was dee-licious. and not just because i was a little starving. i'm kind of still in shock of the tastiness. it also looked beautiful and i am a sucker for aesthetics. the only thing that would have made it better was if it was a miniature casserole. i heart mini food. it wasn't one of those clumpy broccoli is that cheese or pineapple right there casseroles. it was fresh and i trusted the source. as i'm eating said friend-made casserole, it is determined that said friend who made the friend-made casserole is not at the function because she has a stomach virus. dramatic pause. fork out of mouth. all of a sudden casserole not so tasty. but then i start thinking. what's that you said? friend has a stomach virus and is in bed for days, having lost four pounds? eureka. must. eat. more. casserole. i could stand to lose four pounds. i could certainly stand to stay in bed for days. i mean hours. or minutes. to me the stomach virus sounds like the hot new vaca. stay in bed. lose weight. perf. why haven't i thought of this before? hello tired delusionness (made up). stomach virus may also mean lots of bathroom and puke. which doesn't sound like a vacation. unless you're in cancun. and i'm too old for cancun. and i'm too tired for cancun. did i mention i was tired?

that casserole should have come with a warning label.
I thought viruses sounded awesome. Until I had it twice this winter. You lay in bed and can't even get up to puke, but hear two monkeys wreaking havoc in the next room.
You know - I would've eaten the casserole anyway. Not just because I am fat and ok to admit that, but because if I didn't it would involve me having to make a choice about something else to eat. Even though there would be a lovely spread in front of me to choose from, I just loaded up my plate and I DID NOT have to cook it myself. And I am also tired, and making a choice other than the 43rd type of sunscreen to put on my kids is too much for me today.
Funny I'm just now reading this after being home from work b/c of a stomach virus. I have to say, some of it sucks (yesterday afternoon was bad times), but today is just more about rest...not too shabby. I think I'll be back to normal tomorrow. Good news is I did lose the magic 4lbs you mentioned...it was only 3 as of this morning, but I must have picked it up a notch today. Oh and I actually took Z to day care because I though the germs would be better than those here at home. How crazy is that??
