A friendly tip

Did you know it is not good to describe yourself as feeling nauseous?

When you declare you are nauseous, what you are really saying is that you inspire nausea. You cause nausea. You are akin to the tumbling hot dog in your core as you ride on the roller coaster.

The correct way to describe the symptom of nausea is to say, “I am feeling nauseated.”

Proof

1. I am wearing wide-legged white cotton yoga pants today.

2. I am wearing an apple green long-sleeved t-shirt.

3. I slipped on my red ballet flats when it was time to pick up the kids from their schools.

4. I wore my red velvet a-line peacoat with big black buttons.

As I walked from the car to the meeting-spot at the boys’ school, I caught a glimpse of myself in a window.

I really am sick.

I am alive

Even though a virus or infection has put every cell in my body into a choke hold. I am such a wuss. I am deeply irritated with myself for becoming highly ill. I consider illnesses in myself to be a personal failure. Other people? Here’s some chicken soup and Tylenol, you poor sweetie. Why can’t I be that nice to me?

Posting has always been hit or miss here, no? Expect more of the same until I arise from the rubble of a thousand wadded Kleenexes to triumphantly declare through hoarse voice and teary bloodshot eyes that I am back.
