Current Mood : Still sleepy, but the headache is lifting...thank Everything.
Today we had a party to attend. One of Beloved Hubby's tattoo clients had us over for Easter, since all her grandkids would also be over for a cookout and egg hunt. We decided to go, since Dearest Son really needed some socialization time - and "L" is a real sweetie.
Too bad I felt like crap. I have no idea what's wrong with me. I'm wiped out and nauseous, I can't concentrate on anything, and I have zero appetite. I kinda felt it coming on Thursday, but felt OK Friday... but two hours before we were due to leave, I went for a lie-down. My head was spinning even faster than usual.
When I woke up, I felt better, but it's only because Dearest was excited about the party that I even went. Much as I wanted to go, I still felt crappy. But heck, surely I could tough it out for a couple hours.
Which is about what happened. Dearest ran around with about fifteen kids, yelling and chasing all over L's country home and several acres of woods, while I camped out at a picnic table, chatting with anyone who sat nearby. Dinner was tasty, but I still had little appetite, and I had a spiralling headache coming up. After about five hours, we packed it in, and I fell asleep on the way home. It was worth it, since Dearest chattered nonstop about his new friends, and was so very happy. Beloved enjoyed chatting with L's family, too, and I'd had fun, even if I'd really rather have been snoozing. We've been invited back for their big July 4th bash, so Dearest is already looking forward to it. Me, too. It'd be great to not be sick the next time !
Once home, Beloved put me back to bed, and I slept for six more hours. I'm already yawning, so I'll be back in there in a few minutes. I'm a little more alert now, but I still have a headache.
Avoid the next sentence if you're squeamish. @We found four ticks crawling on me, so now every time my skin twitches, I just know it's another one. Dearest got thoroughly checked before and after his bath, and Beloved and I checked each other before I crashed. I hate ticks.@
