Unfortunately Steve & I both got salmonella food poisoning so by Friday morning we were pretty miserable. We spent they day laying around our flat, moaning and wishing we had Gatorade & saltines (how a country lives with out saltines we have no idea but they will be in our suitcases on our next trip home). I'm a terrible patient and with Steve being sick too I was a terrible nurse. Saturday was more of the same - laying about, napping, crying and moaning. We were invited to a 4th of July BBQ in town but unfortunately that didn't happen.
Saturday night I thought I'd be brave and fix a simple pasta and red sauce for dinner. I was chopping up some fresh herbs for the sauce and cut a pretty decent chunk out of my finger :( Remember when I said I'm a terrible patient? When you add blood, crazy amounts of pain & fear I turn into a real monster. I'm not sure Steve has ever seen me freak out as much as in that moment, it was not pretty to say the least.
By Sunday to say I was a bit of a mess would be an understatement. Between the pain of my finger, being hungry but not really being able to eat properly and just being ornery from being cooped up inside. Add watching back to back to back to back episodes of Say Yes to the Dress on TLC means I was pretty much crying at every scene of moms & dad & brides (so 90% of the show).
Oh you poor thing! Homesick is bound to happen...I just wish it didn't hit while you were home sick. :-( That's a lot to deal with at once. I hope you're feeling better and that you're getting excited about heading back stateside to visit your family soon!
