Another Weekend Gone

Well it's been a strange few days. Started feeling quite ill at about 2pm on Thursday with awful stomach cramps and nausea. I guess it was something I ate, although I don't know what. Whatever, it kept going until the morning on Friday so I didn't go into work, instead spending the day feeling sorry for myself and catching up with my sleep. However, feeling a lot better in the evening so I went to the pub for the evening, generally sticking to the water, although I did have 3 glasses of wine. Of course my much lowered resistence to alcohol kicked in and Saturday morning I felt completely lousy. Certainly seemed like a hangover, but not sure how or why considering that I drank pints of water between glasses and another pint before going to bed so I wasn't exactly dehydrated. A litre or so of water later and I began feeling human again. I quickly grabbed a protein shake before heading off to work but within 20 minutes was feeling lousy again. Banging headache, nausea and general feeling of yukness continued for the whole afternoon. I realised that it was probably actually something to do with the weather (very humid) and the previous tummy troubles rather than a hangover. Spent most of the evening dozing - obviously having my quarterly fatigue day too, and slept till gone 10am this morning. Still feeling a little headachy, but nowhere near as bad.

No time to make food again so I grabbed a pack of ham and had a chicken breast with mayo at work. This evening I made burgers on mushrooms with a blue cheese dressing and salad, followed by some masarpone cheese flavoured with cinnamon. Am hoping that the amount of water I've drunk over the last few days has flushed out the bug and I will be fighting fit again tomorrow.
