What''s the matter Elle?

If I didn''t know any better I''d say I was pregnant. I am seriously gagging at the mere THOUGHT of anything going in my mouth. I''ve been queasy all morning.

Blah.

Don''t gimme that look! I''m on the pill!

<<crossing my fingers that you have a bug, and not...well, you know

>>

I think it''s pretty unlikely. I''m not even really actively worrying. I started my pill pack on Thursday,and I take it on time. We

''ed on Sunday night, and I started feeling kind of bad last night, and worse this morning.

So unless I ovulated within the first 3 days of starting my pill pack, 3 days after my "period" ended...which I just don''t think would happen.. I''m not pregnant. Just feeling crappy.

But look on the bright side... if I was preggers, I just got my health insurance back.

Silly girl.

You probably just have a little 48 hour thing. I experienced the same a few months back--had similar symptoms (queasiness that came out of nowhere). See if you can leave a little early and then get some rest. It''s normal to catch a little something when you''ve been as busy as you have been (in your case with finals) because your immune system can be vulnerable from all the stress.

That''s what I''m thinking. My stress goes right to my tummy. I hate it. I don''t feel like I have a bug really. Plus, I''ve been eating really crappy the last few days, but I"ve lost 3 pounds.

I don''t know why when I eat crappy, I lose pounds.

I''m leaving early anyway to take my cat to the vet. He has to get his blood sugar checked.

Thanks Jcar!

And.... ew.

 

[jcarlylew]

yeah seriously. i thought it was the new milk i bought for just me (yep, we have different milks!) apparently i was wrong on the date. fortunately only a few days old but still. now i will be paranoid forever when drinking milk.

 

[princessplease]

I''m sorry elle that you''re not feeling well. I hope you feel better soon. Around here in NJ, a lot of people have been having stomach things this ''season'' and the bug has been sticking around. I know some people who''ve been sick three times with some stomach thing. I''m the same way with stress; when I feel stressed or anxious, my stomach is the first place I feel it. And congrats on losing 3 lbs!!!

Jcarly, I hope you feel better too!!! I buy two different milks too. FI drinks whole milk, and I can''t, so I buy skim. When fam comes over and goes in the fridge, they always ask why we have different milks.

 

[jcarlylew]

today is one of those days

i couldnt figure out why my phone sounded like it was in a well. then i realized i had my earpiece in backwards.

backwards.
Who does that?!?!

Ohhh... no. I''ll pass.

 

[Dreamgirl]

I''m a little worried about S. On Friday night, apparently he woke up with his heart palpitating (of sorts). He didn''t call me

but he was up worried half to death about it. If any of you remember, his dad passed away at 43 from a freak stroke (he was completely healthy too) Well anyway, S''s uncle now has arterial fibrillation, which can lead to a stroke. So obviously S thinks maybe that''s what his dad had but he went unknown.

Anyway, now since Saturday he keeps wanting me to listen to his heartbeat. It always sounds fine to me. Then he said last night that maybe he is just too worried about everything and he keeps thinking about his heart now so maybe that''s why it feels funny now and it isn''t anything like it was on Saturday night, that it''s more of a mental thing now. So I told him to talk to me about it and obviously the uncertainty of what''s to happen next job wise and everything with his grandma is really bothering him. I think its just anxiety but my Mom saw in the paper that he can get an EKG done and some heart stuff to detect for heart problems and stroke problems for $195. So he thinks he will do that but it would be at the end of May...

Also, he had a Slim Fast bar on Friday evening before we went out to eat. I told him it might be from that because one time I had an energy bar that sent my heart racing for 4 days straight. But you can still see our concern...

Dream: It never hurts to get things checked out, but I have a feeling it is stress-related. He is going through a lot right now. Combine that with his family history, I can see why he might be nervous. I''m sure it''s nothing but I''m glad he''s taking precautions.

Ditto! Palpitations are scary, but often times not anything life-threatening. He needs to take care of himself, watch his eating, and exercise. If salt or caffeine intake is high, he should watch that too.

 

[Dreamgirl]

Yeah, I know it! All this stress cant be helping him any. Poor thing

Now he wants to find out if he can get it done sooner than the end of May. I guess they do this at different locations on certain dates that''s why the closest place to us would be the end of the month. But I guess he can always go a little farther out of the way to get it done too. For that price, he thinks he ought to do it.

Yeah, he does watch what he eats and exercises all the time. He''s very cautious of those things.

He''s probably worried about me too. Cause of that freckle on my leg. I had to wait until May to go to the Dr. and I still don''t have an appointment cause he was out of town

lol

 

[jcarlylew]

morning everyone!
i did the machine for 22 minutes yesterday. my foot seems to be holding up! shoot. now i wont have an excuse to not exercise!

I went shopping yesterday to try on shorts and stuff for our upcoming vacation (38 days, btw, but who''s counting?). I dont know why, but i tried on shorts. and it seems that after every summer i forget how much i hate shorts, and how i look in them. so i am opting for skirts and dresses instead. E is trying to convince me to bring shorts, until i said
"its our vacation. on a boat. why the heck would i wear clothes i am uncomfortable in?"

Dresses and skirts win and thank god for old navy having cheap skirts

Ha! I could have written your post, Jcar. Well, not the part about the foot.

I HATE shorts! I will only wear skirts/dresses. Why do shorts looks so bad on me? I''ll never know. They seem to look pretty OK on everyone else, I have no idea why I''m so grossed out by me in shorts. Blech.

add me to the no shorts club, I look ridiculous. Except like bermuda shorts, they look good plus get the job done for all your "short" needs!

 

[jcarlylew]

ugh, not me. i get the squishy "oh thats how big your thighs really are??" look. so skirts hide that nicely

plus i am thinking - we're on a boat, not hiking. if we go somewhere, its generally by swimming. and who likes to put on pants/shorts on a wet body? blah.

and i'll be in my bathing suit the whole time. so skirts, wraps and dresses it is. i'll have one pair of pants for the airplane.

There you are! You were MIA all morning!

Stomach is doing better.. still a tad unsettled, but the nausea has passed. I guess I''m well enough to go to cardio kick boxing tonight after all...

Anything new??

I know, I actually had to work, if you can believe that.

lol I get so used to the ''slow'' days that when I actually get busy, it annoys me LOL!

I am waiting for my lunch to arrive. I am staaaaaaaaaarrrrrvvviiiiiiiiiing. I got a turkey & swiss on wheat! Yummy. I get out a bit early today so FI and I are going to go for a run and then I have to work on my paper.

What?! You had towork?! Unacceptable!

I don''t mind being slow or busy, but I hate being "steady" where you do one thing, then there''s 5 minutes, then something. That''s really annoying.

Your lunch sounds yummy! Enjoy your run, also!

How''s the paper coming long? Have you made much progress, or are you still procrastinating?

 

[Squirrly]

i like skirts but i hate holding them down when it''s windy, so usually it''s jeans or shorts for me

 

[sweetliloldme]

BTW: i love your icon!!!!
