I’m so tired of being sick. I can’t keep anything down and I don’t have an appetite either. I’ve been trying the brat diet but it clearly isn’t working. My insides are being clenched and twisted all around and it hurts.

I’ve noticed my mental health suffers a lot when I’m sick. It is hard to keep my mind healthy when my body isn’t. Maybe because I’m fighting too much at once? I’ve been so irritable, tired, weepy… In the words of our household I’m being a grumpfish and a crabapple. Seriously though, this illness is running through my house. My son already had it but his appetite has yet to return. According to the drs it is just a virus so we’re stuck until it is done.

How do you guys keep your moods up when you’re sick?

I feel like that Pokemon that sleeps all the time. Today is going by so slowly and I’m struggling to stay up right through the day. I’m only half done with my work shift and already I have had to deal with 3 accidents, 4 fights, and one child needs my constant attention because they didn’t sleep last night. I need caffeine and strenght to push through the rest of the day.

Wish me luck. -SK
