Stomach Virus 2020

Lucky me. I got the stomach virus that’s going around and I’ve been hurling since Saturday. Woo!

What Goes Around

Well, at least it’s not the Wuhan Coronavirus but it’s no fun anyway. I’m not sure where I picked it up. Regardless of the source, the result completely sucks.

Yuck!

How To Care For Stomach Flu

It’s not hard to avoid eating when everything wants to come back up with violent force.

The BRAT Diet has been a point of departure but I also read that if you’re going to add sugar to the intentionally bland diet, that you should add an equal amount of salt.

To this end, since Kelly was kind enough to get me some ginger ale, I have chosen a Frito or two. Bananas are simply too large for my very upset stomach right now. One or two Fritos give me the sense of having eaten something without overloading me.

Great Artist?

The great artist is a slave to his ideals. ~Christian Nestell Bovee

Well, that’s a tad overstated but I appreciate the sentiment.

It’s usually hard to set aside my creative endeavors, but I wouldn’t go so far as to say I’m enslaved to them. The inactivity inflicted on me by this dreaded stomach ailment proves my point rather succinctly.

The fact that I’ve been incapable of doing anything much more strenuous than putting on my socks for the last few days suggests that either I’m not a “great artist” (no surprise there) or that Mr. Bovee overstated his case with typical Victorian zeal.

Honestly, I’m pretty much focused on trying to digest the little bits of food I’ve attempted to eat rather than anything happening in the Sentinelsverse. Sad but true.

My stomach has been a bit more settled today. Hopefully, I’m on the tail end of this miserable virus. I hope you’re feeling significantly better than I’ve been feeling of late.
