Sooo good. The meat is so soft. Not chewy at all.

Looks like I have all the required documents for filing our income tax return. I used to file my own return for the past 12 years but this year, I won't bother doing it because it's a little different. Well not really-I'm filing with a spouse :). I haven't done this at all and I'm not going to try this year bc I have so many things to think of and do first. Mention pregnancy as the top priority hehe.
I called my mom and asked how much her accountant charges for joint filers. She said last year was $60. Not bad! because I know HR block could charge for $100+. We're feeling the recession right now and every penny counts to us :) so told mom to call me when they're going to file their returns.
hah! minus one burden on my shoulder. 10 more to go......sort of!

Food poisoning?
I was blogging at 5am this morning but looks like it didn't go through before my stiff neck post.I was up that early bc I woke up at 3am feeling nauseous. I was in the bathroom hugging my throne for hours -I call it that way bc it's the only thing I see zigillion times a day since conception :) I was throwing up and dizzy as well. I couldn't think of something that made me sick. I was fine when I went to bed last night. I even thought my morning sickness has come back. That would be a bummer! I had to let it all out until nothing comes out anymore. This was harder than my m/s before. I felt so tired and dehydrated. However I was so glad we stocked up with powerade the night before. Uls kept me drinking every now and then.
He thought it could be something I ate. He asked me all the foods I've taken. Bfast we ate together so that's scrambled eggs and rice. At noon I only had pretzel dog fresh from the oven, almond pretzel and strawberry lemonade. Then I didn't eat til game time for the superbowl, had spaghetti, BBQ, chicken from kfc,cheesecake from costco and organic corn chips w/ pico de gallo dip. I also had halaya (purple yam) for dessert. Of course I was really full and bloated.
After a couple hours in the bathroom I managed to get my sleep back. Then I woke up again after an hour bc my stomachs turning up again. Another moment with my throne. I noticed that my neck hurts too (see stiff neck blog). Two pain at the same time? I can't make it to work. At around 8 or 9ish I called my Dr and asked if I should see him. Been worried Natnats affected. Told him everything and could be food poisoning. I was told to keep drinking fluids and call them if I've a fever and dehydration.
I was relieved natnat's fine. Lesson for mommy: can't always have everything. See food?
Katakawan kasi.

Stiff Neck
Darn, I woke up with a stiff neck this morning right before my alarm went off. So today, I called in sick because I can't even lift myself out of bed this morning. Can't even roll myself otherwise I'll smooshed my dear Natnat. Uls had to support my head (imagine carrying a newborn) to lift me up since I need to use the bathroom. It was so painful. I took tylenol for pain, its the only thing I can take and not to exceed 4/day per my Dr. I usually get this when I'm really really stressed and I have my handy dandy muscle relaxant to take but can't take it this time.
My stiff neck could be for so many reasons. Maybe I slept funny-I wonder how? the only sleeping position is either my left/right side and lying on my back. We bought the tempur pedic pillow and so far haven't had it until now, that's been a while. Stress? I don't think so...I'm good, I think :) or maybe cold air hits the muscle aka 'nalamigan'. It was cold this morning because I woke up with having just the end of the blanket barely covering half of my body. Uls took it all on his side-he does this all the time. Sometimes I had to pin the blanket down on my side so he can't take it all away.

Anyway, I spent all day taking naps, giving my neck a hot compress which I'm still doing right at this moment. I think my skin's all red from the heat of the bag LOL...mamaya it'll be all wrinkly and old.
I wonder how long this would take this time without any muscle relaxant. It could be days. It's going to be difficult to work on patients tomorrow...Good luck to me!
