What Is Wrong With Me??

On Saturday night, I took advantage of the drinks Richard bought me in my previous blog entry. Aden went to bed shortly after eight, so I decided it was a good night to have a drink and watch some Smallville. Smallville is Richard's favorite show, and we've been (sort of) watching it on DVD, so I can catch up -- when we started watching together, it was on season 6, so he's had to explain a few things to me here and there.

Anyway, we don't get many opportunities to stay up late to watch it, since Richard goes to bed around 9:30 most nights and Aden is only in bed an hour before that. So I figured since Sunday was his only day off over the weekend, we might as well get in an episode or two. Naturally, I figured I'd have a drink while we watched, to help with the heat, as well as my stress! That drink tasted pretty damn good.

It went down way too smoothly and way too quickly and Richard brought me a second one.

By the time we had watched two episodes of Smallville (season 2) and I had two drinks, we were more than ready for bed. I maybe had a slight buzz, but that's IT.

When I woke up the next day, I felt as if I had been BLITZED the night before. My head was pounding, my stomach was doing flip-flops, and I just felt GROSS. I figured it was just because the drinks I had were super sugary ones, and those have a tendency to give you a bit of a hangover.

However ...

Suddenly I felt an all too familiar feeling. Uh oh. I rushed to the bathroom and I puked. That's the weirdest part. Even when I used to drink a lot, I never was the kind of person who threw up a lot after drinking. Even the day after my 20th birthday (when Richard got me way too drunk), I didn't throw up. The last time I threw up from drinking ... well ... I was pregnant, and just didn't know it yet.

After my delightful trip to the bathroom, I went upstairs with Aden and Richard and laid on the couch. About a half hour later, I had to go back to bed. But before I could go to sleep ... I had to rush to the bathroom to throw up again.

Needless to say, I'm a bit baffled. Why the hell am I throwing up and feeling so rotten after TWO drinks? It was so bizzarre.

We'll blame it on the huge amounts of sugar in my drinks, plus the heat, shall we?
