I had many things that I had considered doing today, most of it just being some chill video gaming, if I'm really honest. And I did get to do some. Then I started feeling sick.

I thought to myself, oh well, that silly motion sickness again, guess I'mma take a break 🙃

Turns out, wasn't just the motion sickness, though.

Spent the next hour and a half using my toilet as an echo chamber for creative voice lessons. Switched it up every now and again, just to keep things interesting, but the sound was just too good, so I kept coming back for encores. Realised the toilet might be cursed because I could not move away from it for more than a few meters or a few minutes before having to return.

Messaged my mom, who kindly brought me something to help break the curse.

Then spent the next three hours in a curled up position on my bedroom floor, on the carpet right next to my bed (bed would have been to soft), head on my fluffiest pillow, and underneath a warm, cuddly blanket, finally getting some rest and sleeping off the exhaustion.

When it all started it was early afternoon. The sun has now set. I am finally sitting back on the couch, munching on some insanely good pretzel sticks and drinking tea. Feel utterly serene. Could murder someone for a good, cheesy pizza right now, but that might be the devil talking.

#just me rambling #guessing that something didn't agree with my stomach but it's not quite clear what it was #it's been like 7 years since I last got sick enough to throw up and I can't say that I missed it much or cared much for it #my throat actually feels sore from all the dry-heaving #I've also been wondering #because I know that it's been debunked that coca cola is any good for you on an upset stomach #but coke + pretzel sticks has been the go-to household remedy ever since I was a child and it has always helped #this time as well #the coke was the first thing I was actually able to retain today #even water came right back out #and the pretzel sticks are perfect now #had some electrolytes too for obvious reasons #kinda want to continue playing my game but I don't dare do it anymore today #not when I know it could potentially trigger motion sickness-related issues on top of an already sensitive stomach #I've had quite enough of being sick today thank you very much #some movie maybe?#some visual novel?#not sure how well reading on my tv screen for an extended period of time is gonna sit with my head (and by extension my stomach) though #continue reading the book I'm in the middle of? maybe #really glad my nose is back to normal #it's fascinating the smells you pick up on that completely churn your stomach when you're sick #half of that shit I can't even smell properly now anymore #god some french fries would be great now too #way back in my teens when I got sick after not eating anything for too long (and then couldn't eat because I was sick - brilliant. 😑)#the thing that got me back to feeling normal ended up being french fries #the electrolytes concoction had a good amount of salt in it but I feel like my body is still demanding more #I don't trust myself with anything but pretzel sticks right now though #on any other day I might have caved and ordered that pizza #I need to stop talking about pizza for my own sanity xD #on another note: there is still a mosquito in here with me 🧐
