Ungghhh...

I didn't get to sleep through the night...I was awoken constantly by my stomach being SUPER uncomfortable. I was sick again. :(

Well...I was just sick all night. That's pretty self-explanatory, even when I thought I had cleared my system of whatever could possibly remain, my stomach said, "Nope, there's more!" even after I felt completely empty and depleted.

So that was my night. And in the morning it was all over, and all I could do was just sleep. So I slept the whole day. And that was my day.

But it was okay. Because I think honestly I needed that. I think I was actually sick even in Xiangyang with all this mess in my system and not eating right and all. I think this was my body detoxing, so in reality it was just another part of my recovery. So it was a good thing. After that, I took it fairly easy for the next few days, and then I had no problems after that. I could still enjoy my epic adventure.

Sometimes you gotta completely purge yourself of all the bad, as painful as it may be, to move on and become stronger than ever. And I mean that symbolically as well as physically. Oooo, now that's something to think about.
