Manic's got it.

And I don't think you want to hear about the violent wretching and heaving from all day yesterday, so I'll refrain, but it was one of those episodes where I would wake, heave, dry-heave, then pass back out into the deepest sleep, then be frozen cold, then sweaty hot.

Not fun. Still feeling lethargic today, but I will have the contest winner in the next day or so!

So now Hubby and I are second-guessing it was the flu and wondering if I have some sort of chemical imbalance? We went on Friday night, and this I swear--I only had three normal sized glasses of white wine at a party, and within 3-1/2 hours, and I alternated water with wine (just like the big man Jesus did once).

But I was S I C K. I was vomitting/vomiting (one or two Ts? Oh hell--I WAS PUKING) my guts out uncontrollably, and vascillating between the sweats and freezing to ripping off my t-shirt (get your minds out of that gutter!), and then back to scrunching up into the fetal position trying to keep warm.

What is the matter with me?

I know it wasn't a hangover because I ate normally, more than normally on Friday, and (if you don't want to read gross parts, well, you're too late...) none of the vomit had food in it -- it was just the stomach acidy stuff.

I don't know, I don't have a clue. I did start my period today, which is about a hundred and four days late, and if I wasn't forthemostpart abstinent, I would have been freaking that I was pregnant.

I'm 37, am I too young for these changes? Hubby wondered if my anti-depressants mixed with the little alcohol I had was the culprit... HELLOOO? Three glasses of wine! And I have lowered my Effexor intake since the first of the year, granted, my patience is way thin, but still...

I wish there was an internal notice or something that pops up onto your body that says:

Hangover
Flu
Virus
Cold
Fever
Chemical Imbalance
Hormonal Imbalance
You're-Just-Getting-Your-Period Imbalance
You-Can't-Even-Enjoy-Three-Glasses-Of-Wine Imbalance
None of the Above
All of the Above

In other Tukey news, he and Diva are drawing pictures, and singing songs, and he just drew a picture for the girl he is in love with in junior kindergarten and Diva asked if he wanted to give it to her (her name is Carly --the note says, I LOVE CARLY--and she is the most adorable, sweetest little girl--I would love her for a daughter-in-law)... and he was all excited to give her a love note and exclaimed:

"Yay!!! I have a true love!"
