I Was In The Fetal Position All Day

I had a fever yesterday and I pretty much slept it off, just like last year. Unlike last year, it wasn't as severe and I only went without food for about 12 hours instead of 3 days. Today, the fever's gone but I have stomach pains. That's understandable since I barely ate. I ate an egg sandwich in the morning and I felt full from it. I ordered pizza for lunch and managed to eat only 2 slices before I had to give up. I also tried to drink apple juice and iced tea but it tastes funny. Stupid sickness probably messed with my taste buds. All day I've been lying down, holding my stomach. Even sitting up hurts after a while. It's only a mild throb every now and then, or when I walk too much, but at this weak state it hurts like hell. I'm lucky I got 2 days off, but I don't know how I'm going to do when I have to go back to work tomorrow. I almost wish it would get worse so I could call in sick and I won't have to work on the shitty boat, but I know that's really not going to happen. All I can hope for is to get my strength back 'cause I don't know how I'm going to work if I can't even hold up a bottle of liquor to pour, let alone carry cases of beer. Being sick sucks, period.
