Another Update

So... guess what happens if you stay several days in a town that has weird-tasting water, where you're given a half cup of apple juice for breakfast and a can of pop for lunch and the restaurant's too busy to refill your water glass at dinner. You get... dehydration! It was worst on Saturday, when all I consumed was orange juice and three caplets of Dramamine. That's not healthy. I slept for about four hours in the van, and kept the motion sickness in check until we got back to Truman. Then I took a nap for three hours. Then I spent the next few hours forcing myself to stay awake and making myself drink about two cups of water. You know you're dehydrated when even drinking water makes you feel horribly sick. I managed to stay up until nine, then slept through the night.

And, good news good news, I'm back to normal! I've been hungry three times today, so far. I ate soup for breakfast, soup and chicken for lunch, and I'm about to go get dinner. I realized this morning, when my stomach grumbled for the first time in a week, that I hadn't actually felt hungry since before I got the flu. Nice to be healthy again.
