My boys didn’t get sick from the chicken but I do seem to remember picking the skewer that I thought was cooked but it maybe wasn’t thoroughly thinking at least it’ll be me who gets food poisoning not my boys so maybe I was right! Ugh I wish I had zofran or something to stop the intense nausea. I can’t even eat plain brown rice or saltines without nausea.

I’m supposed to work my second job today but I’m almost certain that’s not happening. I wish I had Gatorade but I literally can’t leave the house! There’s a convenience store 3 minutes away but I can’t be sure they have it and I can’t take the chance of driving, especially if they don’t.

Anyway I officially resigned from my job today but my boss said my contract is through the summer so he’s not going to say anything just yet, that way I’ll still get my summer pay and I’ll have the chance to change my mind and return. He’s very nice.

Ugh, how horrible to feel sick like that. Are you feeling any better?

If not, some thoughts...do you have Doordash or Uber, some kind of delivery service, that can bring you Gatorade? Those services are a rip-off, but can be helpful when in dire need.

Dramamine (either regular or non-drowsy) can stop nausea. Ginger (tea or in any form)...ginger tea and peppermint tea brewed together. Hot or iced, whatever feels right. Also, those teas mixed with carbonated water - La Croix or any carbonated water.

Of course, all of these require shopping. Is there anyone to shop for you?

Good for your boss - and good for you, for taking such a big and healthy step
