An open apology to my body

[judecorp]

Dear body,

I know I said I would stop doing this. I promised that I would eat at least one full meal and one pseudo-meal every day. And drink lots of water. I know that I swore up and down that I wouldn't slip back into not sleeping and not eating. I'm sorry I gave you the shakes, and I'm sorry that you're dehydrated, and I'm sorry you're tired.

I'm drinking water right now - are you happy? When that settles in my stomach, we can talk breakfast. Just please, please, PLEASE stop being queasy. I know you've had a rough couple of days.

Love,
Jude

p.s. Here's some orange juice. You like that.

I'm nobody's wife and I'm nobody's baby
I like it that way, but then again, maybe...
And I'm nobody's Valentine and I'm nobody's pearl
When you get right down to it, I always seem to find just some girl, singing
There are monsters, there are angels
There's a peacefulness and a rage inside us all
There is sugar and there is salt
There is ice and there is fire in every single heart
There are monsters, there are angels.
I'm nobody's promise, and I'm nobody's chore
And I ain't got nobody that I feel I've got to live for
(nobody to live for)
And I'm nobody's work, and I'm nobody's company
And every time I turn around I always seem to find just me, singing
There are monsters, there are angels...

I hope you feel better soon, honey. *hugs*

Water is good. Saltines and ginger-ale are good too, for an upset tummy. Caffeine is bad, it sucks water out of your body. Icky.

Cool darkness and quiet are also a plus. =)

*hugs* s'more.

Love,
Your Evil Twin

Thanks, dear. I couldn't really do the sleep thing, as I had to go to class and then to work.

But the orange juice boosted the blood sugar, which quelled the shakes. And the quart of water I drank before class helped the dehydration, which helped the tummy.

So I'm all good now, if a little tired. :) Thanks for the suggestions. You'd think I would know better by now - this has been my body for almost 26 years!
