Tonight, at the grocery, I got woozy.
(Then I started buying crazy food again. All vegetarian stuff, just like before. But that isn’t germane to this story.)
Still, I was lightheaded enough to wrap things up prematurely. I called home from the parking lot.
“Oh, Gary, I’m so glad you’re home. Look, when I get home I’ll need you to come out and bring the groceries in from the car. I suddenly got really woozy.”
“So did I!”
“Oh, stop it.”
“No, I swear! I’m in bed right now! I got all woozy and sweaty and I had to go to bed.”
And there he was when I got home, in bed. We lay in bed for about an hour and ate macaroons I had brought in from the car.
So, yet another volley of “I’m sick” “No, I’M sick” ends in a tie.

The classic was from Xman after he caught the flu from me:
“If I’d known you were this sick I would have taken you to the doctor.”
Oh yeah. Married life. Gotta love it.
I have never – NEVER – been able to mention a symptom to my husband without his eyes instantly sliding sideways to focus on the middle distance while he conducts a survey of his own personal health. After which he says, “Well, I’m ok.” Or, “Yes, me too.” As if I cared.
Hope you’re both feeling better!
No pudding for you!
Becs – So, did you take HIM to the doctor? I hope not.Big Dot – It’s like we’re here to contaminiate them. With our Cooties. Marcia – Well, not woozy, anyway.Caroline – Regarding your inside joke, I think Steve once wanted Pudding Thursdays. It’s coming back to me.
No, I did not take Xman to the doctor because we were still both so sick we couldn’t move. I did think “a-hole” before I fell back into my delirium.
So sorry, wooziness sucks a lot.
Tonight I’m going to the grocery after work. It’s become a Thursday thing. Did I mention how thrilled I am that there’s a Trader Joe’s just minutes from my new office? It’s the most fun I’ve had grocery shopping since the first time I went to a Costco.
I had dizzy spells after getting the flu shot. I hope both of you are feeling better.
Becs – I remember Gary and I dragged ourselves out of bed a few days after the 2000 questioned election to visit our doctor in dual nausea and diarrhea.Tami – Trader Joes doesn’t have much that I like. I always intend to like it. It’s like Kohls. Everyone else loves it, I can’t find a thing.Hattie – Theres some kind of condition in which just the puncture of the needle in a vein can cause fainting. Not from fear or anything. Or maybe the flu is not quite dead yet.
