Hungry this Christmas

Those who have spoken to me since the last Tuesday of term, seen my Facebook page or heard about it some other way will know that I haven’t been well recently. But for those who didn't know, you know now.

I’ve had some sort of vomiting bug, and I’m even less pleased about it than usual.

That may seem like a weird thing to say, but it annoys me purely as it causes my diet to become limited, in order to reduce the amount that I throw up. I’m ticked off more this time as it means that I won’t be pigging-out over Christmas. The “being ill” thing doesn’t really bother me as it gives me an excuse to lounge around without the “haven’t you got anything more constructive to do?” parent nag.

I was getting better, and had increased the amounts I was eating to near my usual portions. But today it came back with a vengeance; it’s been so bad today, that I haven’t had any sleep yet tonight due to going back-and-forth to the toilet in order to lose what remains of my last meal.

And this all means that I won’t be eating any chocolate that’s given to me over Christmas. Wonderful…

Merry Christmas; and make sure the juices run clear from your turkey, or you could be joining me.
