     Today was a sick day.  It started off at 4am for me, waking up hearing the sounds of hubby retching in the hall bathroom.  His bathroom is the hall bathroom because it is bigger and has more counter room for his shaving kit.  He also likes the toilet in there better too, it doesn't have a soft seat on it like our bedroom bath does.  Anyhow, he had been up for about an hour with a queasy stomach and then started throwing up.  I woke up at 4 and hear him then waited for him to come back to bed.  I got him some kool aid and tucked him in.  His tummy was empty and I told him to sip the liquid slowly and try to get some sleep.  He did pretty well until around 8, when he got sick again, dry heaves since he didn't have anything to get out.
     Because he was still sick and had been up so much during the early morning, he called in sick.  I checked him but he wasn't warm so that was a good sign.  We thought maybe it was the food we ate last night or the ice cream we had after.  Either way, I was feeling fine, which was a good sign.  We kept an eye on him because we are due to leave in 3 days to go see our newest granddaughter and see Lili, her big sister.  We are driving out on Saturday so we really wanted to make sure hubby is healthy by then.
     We laid around watching tv and hubby, who works during this time and rarely sees daytime tv, laughed at some of the commercials that play.  Later in the afternoon, he was feeling well enough to go with me to Costco and Walmart to get pet food that we needed.  We needed to go to Costco first, and get dog food and the lemonade that I use with my tea.  I was hungry, hadn't eaten since the morning so while I got a slice of pizza and a soda, hubby got the dog food and the lemonade.
     Next we went to Walmart.  The weather was moving in and we were getting a light sprinkling of snow by the time we got there.  We had to get canned dog food and cat food, a pair of night pants for hubby, that didn't have holes in the butt like the ones he wore now, and a couple of outfits for the babies.  We quickly shopped and got home because hubby was starting to feel poorly again.  By the time we got home, the snow was coming down in droves!  We got everything out of the car, into the house and then I put everything away while hubby took a breather.  After that, I made him some scrambled eggs and raisin toast.  Since I had eaten at Costco, I didn't want to eat anything else.
     We relaxed for the evening and hubby was feeling much better.  When we wake up in the morning, we will have only 2 days left until we leave to see the grandbabies!
