poison control

so I guess my lack of z’s has caught up to me…
I’ve got food poisoning… or the stomach flu… I can’t tell what is what. I’ve got symptoms of both….like mad. can’t keep any food down.. I can’t even keep the Pedialyte down… Probably because it tasted a lot better as a kid. I swear I remember it tasting like juice. Now it just taste like…crap…encouraging more trips to the bathroom. joy.

edit

Ok so now I’m thinking it’s the stomach flu… I’ve been in and out of fevers/chills. The vomiting has stopped but I’m still losing plenty of liquid. I couldn’t think of anything I could have eaten that would do this to me. Everything I had recently was cooked or just purchased from the store. I meant it could have been poor packaging or something, but still, I think I would’ve felt better by now if it had been that. I’m pretty sure one of my students transferred something yucky to me. They’re a bunch of first graders who don’t know smack about hygiene. Well, some of them are good about it, but I can point out a select few who always have their hands in their mouths, wipin it on something else(me). OR really washing their hands after the bathroom.We have a bathroom in our classroom cuz it’s an old kindergarten classroom. I realized the other day that not all of them do. I caught one kid…
as kid walks out of the bathroom towards the classroom…
me:excuse me, go wash your hands.
kid:uh i don’t need to.
me: you just came out of the bathroom, you need to go wash your hands.
kid: but i didn’t use my hands, so i don’t need to.
me: *gave him a wtf look* I don’t know how you managed that, but I don’t care. Anytime you come out of the bathroom, you wash your hands.
kid walks away and sulks as he washes his hands.

I’ve been super paranoid this semester with these first graders. Washing my hands, using hand sanitizer every chance I get. I dry out my hands so bad with this stuff, but it’s so worth it cuz these kids are nasty. Apparently, it doesn’t help… I shouldn’t been taking my airborne. I got lazy and stopped, and now look what happened. gr.
I’ve managed to take down some congee today. But I’m dying for something else to eat. I really don’t want to miss out on the dinner at fushing tomorrow night. I’ve been craving that stuff for the past week… but even if I do get better enough to go, I doubt I’ll be eating anything there other than rice boooo.

  Pedialyte does taste like crap (even as a kid)! Yogurt!

  Thank you for teaching our next generation to wash their hands coming out of the bathroom!! I’ve seen countless women walk out without so much as pausing in front of the sinks. I think a year of teaching will give you a super-power-immune system.
