First things first, let’s cover lunch.
I enjoyed a smoked salmon and goat cheese bagelwich (just like Monday!) with a side of leftover green bean fries and a big Tervis Tumbler full of water.
Looks good, no?
Honestly, no.
Sure it tasted fantastic as I ate it, but 1.5 hours later I felt like a mess. My stomach felt extremely hard and bloated and nausea hit me like a ton of bricks.
As my wonderful Twitter friends know, I actually ended up curled up in a ball underneath my desk at work for a solid 25 minutes, waiting for the nausea to pass.
(Picture is a reenactment. Clearly I should be in Lifetime original movies.)
What a wonderful manager I am, huh? 
Two of my coworkers laughed with me and made me feel a little better as I scooted out of vision of the rest of the office and tried to feel better.
I would’ve just taken half of a sick day and left, but since I am taking a vacation day tomorrow, I figured it would look shady if I left early. Plus, my office requires employees to have a doctor’s note if they take a sick day before a holiday or planned vacation day and I didn’t want to visit a physician.
I swear the last two hours of the work day passed by so, so slowly. Once 5 p.m. hit, I was outta there and couldn’t wait to get to our apartment where I could plant myself on the couch.
By the time I left, my nausea dissipated, but I was left feeling really, really achy. I feel like my body has been through a war. I don’t know what is up with me this afternoon!
Fortunately I had a little ray of sunshine awaiting me as I arrived home.
A package from RueLaLa (hidden behind our recycling bin and topped with a dog treat for Sadie because our UPS guy is the jam)!
I immediately tore it open and slipped into the cocktail dress inside. I love it and immediately texted my friend Merri a picture because she’s my go-to fashion guru.
See why I’m going to miss her so much when she moves away!?!? She humors me so well.
I think I may be wearing the new dress to our friends’ wedding this weekend, so the unveiling may occur pretty soon! It’s between this new little number and a purple jewel-tone dress that I currently have being altered. I am actually supposed to pick it up tonight, but that’s not going to happen because I don’t plan on moving my butt from the couch until bedtime.
I missed my afternoon snack since I felt so icky, and I feel like I really need to eat something. The problem is the only thing that sounds appealing to me right now is frozen yogurt (which is a no-go since I gave up sweets for Lent) and my favorite cheese popcorn. I may beg Ryan to go out on a popcorn run to Kernel Encore to grab me a bag if nothing else starts to sound appetizing soon.
Off to veg out on the couch and watch trashy television with Sadie. Hope you’re all feeling better than I am this afternoon… especially you, Aggie, my sick buddy for the day!
P.S. The Fashion page was updated today!

feel better soon, Julie!
so sorry sweetie! feel better soon!! I hate that feeling especially when your trapped at work!! When I was pregnant I used to curl under my desk at work ALL the time and suck on otter pops.. haha!
Your UPS man is totally the jam! I always end up having to go and pick up my packages at their facility because they never drop them off! I cannot wait to graduate-just “window shopping” on Rue La La is wayyy too hard!
feel better! could it have been food poisoning from the leftover salmon or goat cheese from monday??
Blegh, nausea is the worst! I hope you feel better soon! I’d never heard of Rue la la but I checked it out and just signed up 🙂 Gilt.com and ideeli.com are also great sample sale sites!
I love smoked salmon sandwiches! I emailed you a few days ago, not sure if you read it/received it?
I’m sorry I’m really behind on emails! I hope to get back to you soon!
My parents are in town visiting and they surprised my husband and I with Tervis Tumblers (with Stanford’s logo on them). I thought of you and your love for Tervis! 🙂
Uh, I guess the salmon went bad, or maybe the cheese…
I hope you felt better yesterday!
So sorry to hear you weren’t feeling well! I, too, love Rue La La!
I’m sorry that you weren’t feeling well! I hope you are feeling a lot better today! 🙂
Aw! That sucks–which I know because I felt the same way. A friend and I went to a cheese and honey tasting event last night and waaaay overindulged. I had a sugar overload migrane and curled up on the couch as soon as I got home (where my dog just stared at me with disdain. Why is the couch the perfect staring-down-the-snout height?).
I just might go to Marshalls and scour the place to find that gorgeous dress you bought. I LOVE it. It looks so great on you.
Ive been feeling icky lately too. I don’t think it’s a cold but rather over-exhaustion. I had a crazy weekend and I slept pass my alarm THREE times this week. Meaning I made it to the gym ONCE. Im really upset but I know my body needed the break, just like yours did this morning!
Thanks for reminding me that it’s okay!
Have fun this weekend
Hope you’re feeling better today!!
Hope you feel better soon! 🙂
I was wondering… how do you feel about putting lemon in your water? Is it better than plain water? (I know this is kind of random!)
I can just picture you curled up under your desk… ugh!! When I get migraines at work, that is exactly what I want to do. Good thing it doesn’t happen to me too often anymore…
