But this version is nagging me to go back to sleep again and see if I can wake up with a version of the headache that DOESN&#8217;T HURT, or maybe even with a winning lottery ticket wedged into my bra or something (like on that episode of <i>CSI: Miami<\/i> I saw last night). The good news is, I&#8217;m feeling a little bit hungry, which means maybe I will be able to eat something tonight. I&#8217;ve long since puked up all the contents of my stomach, including the delicious milky yellow stuff that serves as an indication that you&#8217;re one step away from the dry heaves \u2014 the most humiliating of all the heaves. <\/p>\n<p>Earlier today, before work (and to be fair, it was probably around the time that I should have called out rather than pretend I was going to feel up to working), I puked so surprisingly forcefully that a little bit went into my nose. It did not come out of my nose, though. Just into it. It stung a little. And made me laugh, because not only did I have puke in my nose, but I had made a horrifying sound to get it lodged there. And none of this happened on purpose. <\/p>\n<p>Remember what I said about the body being a wonderland? Sometimes I swear to god my body is a neverending spinning clown tunnel. <\/p>\n<p>Ugh, the thought of that makes me barfy. I&#8217;m going back to bed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you have a weak stomach or prefer to think of me as an entity with no bodily functions, you might want to skip this post.
