on arriving in israel

Well, my second day back a family lunch was planned for me.  i woke up fine in the morning, and mostly worked on my blog in the morning.  we were planning on heading over around 1:30.  we went to pick up noa’s sister, and then headed out.

ever since new years I’ve been pretty much sick.  my last week at work was miserable, but i had to go in to train some people and take care of loose ends before i left.  i was pretty much better before i left for toronto, but then i was hit by sniffles or something.  i was still sniffling when i got here, and so have been feeling pretty lousy all around, but i guess i got used to it.

anyways, so we were in the car heading to noa’s parents, and i started feeling really nauseous.  i wasn’t sure if it was jut hunger, or what, but my stomach was a mess.   i don’t know if its the water, or if i ate something bad the previous day, or a combination, but im pretty certain i got food poisoning.  it was rough all around.

and here was this lovely lunch just for me, and with my stomach contents emptied, all i could muster down was a little bit of rice.  i spent the rest of the evening sitting on the couch with a blanket wrapped around me.  i went to bed beset upon with shivers.

this morning i got up and was feeling quite a lot better.  as I’m writing this now, i think I’m finally feeling hungry again.  hurray.

the plan today is to get a juice (yay), look at the beach, and fix my cell phone number.  theres a laundry list of tasks that need to be done now that I’m here, but we haven’t taken stock of what needs to be done when yet.

I would say getting to the beach was a success.
