Last night...

Doesn't it just beat all that I always get sick when I don't have school the next day....

Well, last night was interesting, to say the least. Mark and I were both feeling like a bit of "Jimmy's Killer Prawns", but the one we normally go to closed. Since it is a chain, we looked for another one close by. I was in the mood for some sushi, but the new sushi chef was only coming Saturday. So, I had some shrimp instead. Now, I don't normally do much shell fish - when I went on a cruise with Tommy and Suzanne I had an allergic reaction to lobster and haven't really had much taste for shrimp - at least not as a main meal. Anyway, we got home; watched about 30 minutes of tv; and were in bed by 9:00. Well I woke up at 11:15 tossing and turning because my stomach was cramping up. I got to the bathroom to vomit. It wasn't fun (but when is getting sick fun???). Well, my hands and legs started itching and I thought "oh, no..." I woke Mark up and took some benadryl. I was still feeling awful about 30 minutes later (never left the bathroom) so we decided to go to the hospital just in case. They were wonderful - we went to Milpark Hospital. They gave me a saline drip because I seemed a bit dehydrated, then they gave me a few medications for nausea - one of which gave me a groggy kick this morning. Mark's taking good care of me.

We are having a braai here this afternoon with 2 of our friends, Candice and Jono. Mark is in the process of cooking the potatoes for a potato salad. And he just brought me some banana bread that I cooked earlier this week (from scratch - aren't you proud of me) and a cup of tea. I'll talk to you guys later. Love to all!!
