Stayed home from school today. Threw up this morning. Working on keeping down a piece of toast.
EDIT: The day is almost half through and for being sick I've been pretty productive. With Jens help I got the kitchen clean, and made 3 cakes. (The pound cake counts as two.)
I had ramen for lunch, and despite not being able to finish the whole bowl I think I'm doing pretty good. I wasn't sure if I was going to keep it all down but so far it looks like I may.
Now that I've actually got a little bit of food in me I'm feeling better, still drowsy, still vaguely crappy, but I'll take what improvements I can get. I imagine I'll take a nap here in a bit and probably be much closer to 100% when I wake up.
EDIT AGAIN: What the crap?! I got the pound cakes out of the oven, cooled them, flipped them out of the pans, and then I tasted the crust left in the pan ... uh ... tastes WRONG. Sort of like cheese. How the fuck can pound cake taste like cheese?! So, I cut a little sliver out of one of the cakes to see if maybe it's just the crusty bits there ... nope. I weep. Now I have to carry my ass to the store, buy another pound of butter, 10 eggs (the chickens are laying less now so I can't just steal 10 more from downstairs), potentially also more sugar and flour. AND THEN MAKE THEM ALL OVER AGAIN! *sets the kitchen on fiar*
AND AGAIN: I drove to the store cause I really didn't feel like walking. I get back, encounteer my FIL in the hall who is looking at my purchases oddly. I tell him I have two cakes that taste bad and does he want them for the chickens. He says sure but wants to taste the cake before he hauls them off. *drum roll please* Apparently I'm the only one who thinks they taste like cheese. My MIL is also sick today and said that it tastes fine to her. *throws up her hands in despair* I'm still going to make more pound cake cause I cannot bring myself to take something that tastes like cheese to school. EVEN IF I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO TASTES IT MKAY.
LAST ONE I PROMISE: The new cakes taste much better. Yay!
