I am so sick.
I suspect food poisoning, but I don't know what the culprit was. Alex is fine, but we did eat slightly different things.
Got sandwiches from a place near work, but when we got home discovered they weren't no mayo. I can't eat mayo - I hate it, and I hate that I hate it to the point I can't even put up with it on something - so I left it for Alex for another meal. I scavenged a couple bits of the sandwich filling to put on my own roll of bread. That was fairly small, so I also heated up some leftover rice.
About two hours later, I felt like I wanted to die. It's now about 25 hours later, and I still feel like I want to die.
The roll was the last of a package we'd just eaten from a day or two before. The rice was only leftover from Tuesday. The sandwich bits wouldn't explain why Alex is fine.
Yesterday mostly felt like pressure and bloating, but very painful. I only slept about an hour, maybe, and that pretty broken up. I was just too uncomfortable to really drop off.
I had to go to work - no real choice - because it was a new person's first day of training, and the first of a class series... Then an instructor called out sick, and it was pretty much just a really rough day. It felt like it took forever.
I haven't been able to eat anything - the thought of trying to swallow anything makes me gag. I haven't actually thrown up, but I kind of almost wish I would, in case it would make me feel better. I've sipped at about 3/4 of a bottled smoothie over the course of the day. I am SO THIRSTY, but even liquids make me queasier.
Now it's less pressure and more just pain. It's a steady maybe 5/10, like I cannot ignore it, but it's not too horrible. Then it spikes to an 8/10 as it feels like every internal bit just cramps at once. Not my actual abdominal muscles, but everything inside.
It's awful. I hate it. I can't get comfortable. I keep getting chills and then hot flashes, and every hair on my body hurts.
I also can't take tomorrow off - another class, I'm solo.
I want to maybe take a hot bath, see if that helps things relax any, but I also just want to try and get any sleep possible. I'm exhausted, and dehydrated, and I can't fix either one effectively right now!
I rate this a zero out of ten stars. I do not recommend it.

my money's on the rice being the culprit.
When I was taking a Sanitation and Safety course for my baking certification, I was taught that, because it has so much surface area, rice should only be considered "good" for around twenty-four hours. I try to get rid of it if it's in the fridge for more than three days, but that can be tricky when the rice isn't part of "my" leftovers, and my dad has an iron stomach 🙄Regardless, that sounds absolutely miserable, and I hope you can at least find some liquids to keep down (and also get better soon). I still remember the horrible bug I got around thirteen years ago where I couldn't eat anything solid for a day and a half.
