It’s unintended, but my body has become a bit of a battleground.

(For that matter, since when is illness ever intended under normal circumstances?)

Since about midday I’ve been dealing with some bad stomach cramps. It’s like my stomach is just in distress, and the distress isn’t really moving down the tract. So, it doesn’t really look like something that will just work its way through. I don’t know what it is that I ate that caused this, but I’m feeling quite ill. Seriously, if I went for my run today, I probably would have puked along the way. While that would have been a good thing, I don’t want to be known in my running club as the guy that puked. Could it have been the week-old chili? Maybe the papaya smoothie? I don’t know.

Farther up, it seems like I’ve come down with a sore throat. I knew something was developing from midday, but it wasn’t until I got home that it really became obvious. At this point, I’m having trouble swallowing. Drinking fluids kind of hurts. Probably for the best since drinking fluids seems to be putting my stomach into further distress.

All I want to do is hide under the covers and hopefully burn whatever is wrong with me off. Going to get some meds into me. It shouldn’t be anything serious, but man this really put a damper on my night.
