At the moment the idea of entering a french bistro is too scary to contemplate but I am going to do it, even if, like Lizzy I have to run outside to puke!
I went swimming at the my nearest pool. I have been told that swimming can ease symptoms. Now, I usually will swim about 2 and a half miles in the 50 metre pool.....but today I got into the 25m pool and managed ...18 lengths with big rests after each 6 lengths. OMG I am wasted!!!
I also weigh myself on the scales. I last weighed myself here just before the sickness started and I am ashamed to admit that I was 77 kilos (!!). Well 9 days later i am 72.5. Quite some drop.
I make it out to meet Bug. he is at the pub with some colleagues. I join them and order a lime and soda off the waitress. Recently I have not been able to drink still water. It comes straight up again but I have found that naturally sparkling water sipped stays down (??? I don't know either crazeeee).
This is the strangest thing she has ever heard in her life..'Whaaat lime and soda' she says, really slowly. Yes I ask 'Do you have a lime squash or cordial?'
'a co...ordial?'
'you know ..lime?'
'Oh I getcha, yep yep comin up'
She brings over a pint of soda water with about 20 closely packed lime slices wedged around the rim.
'oh, uh thank you' I say thinking....what the hell, where do I even drink this from???
Richard's friend Brian feels sorry for my boring drink and orders me a 'Ceaser'. I have only found out what a ceaser is and I am scared. It is drink 'invented' in Calgary and probably, hopefully only consumed in Calgary.
Basically it is a bloody Mary but instead of tomato juice you use CLAMato juice.....any ideas what that is??? Got an idea but you are thinking it could n't possibly be..but you are right clam juice and watery tomato juice.
I cannot announce a pregnancy so early so how will I get round this obstacle? Just the thought is making me nearly barf all over the pub. Luckily R reads my mind and whenever B visits the bar or washroom or is engrossed in his iphone, Bug sips a bit and then I pretend to sip it but actually nothing enters my mouth.
Poor Bug ends up a bit sipped for our dinner but he is able to enjoy the food anyway. I actually eat some crunchy lettuce. Quite hilarious as that is the side bit of a dish. I ordered some fries but they are sweet potato fries and I instantly know that sweet potatoes will not work and too avoid.
All in all today was the best day so far, the easiest. I was only sick 4 times. Maybe all I need is to be more determined and less soft. Well done moi :)
