Detox or salmonella tomato?

God, I felt awful last night. Worked from home the first half of the day and felt terrific. Went into the office for four back-to-back hour-long meetings, and left with a raging headache and stomach ache. Came home and got directly into bed. Put a pillow over my head and prayed for unconsciousness.

A couple hours later, The Cop left for work. He’d brought me ice to put on my head, water, and some ibuprofen. Still felt awful. Considered getting up to wash my face and brush my teeth, but didn’t. This means I’m really sick, because I am fanatical about flossing before bed.

Woke at 3 AM. Wondered if the headache was all gone. Seemed to be. Kinda shaky and spaced out, but fairly normal. Tried to go back to sleep, but no go. I had a 7:30 breakfast meeting, so figured I might as well get up and see how I felt about practicing.

Practice was fine, if a little spaced out. Kept monitoring myself to see if I felt particularly weird. All in all, not too bad.

Now I’m back at home after the breakfast meeting & will work from here all day. Stomach still sketchy, but no headache. Whatever it is, seems to be getting better. Or maybe healed by primary.
