Day 3: Bed Rot

I had an upset stomach today. Probably had too much peanut butter. My appetite was weak and my stomach was constantly aching. I was in bed most of the day.

Rough Morning

Woke up feeling off. My stomach was aching and I had zero appetite. Couldn't really eat anything. Pretty sure it was the peanut butter โ€“ maybe had too much of it yesterday. Lesson learned, I guess. I just stayed in bed, trying to rest and let whatever this was pass.

Spent the morning just lying down, scrolling through my phone, and trying to distract myself from the discomfort. Not the most productive start to a Sunday, but sometimes your body just forces you to slow down.

Reviewed for Upcoming Quizzes

When I felt a bit better in the afternoon, I tried to get some studying in. Opened my notes and reviewed for the upcoming quizzes. It was hard to focus with my stomach still acting up, but I managed to get through a few chapters. Progress is progress, even when you're not feeling 100%.

Took lots of breaks. Drank warm water. Tried to take it easy. The bed rot was real today.

Fable for Comfort

By evening, I was feeling well enough to sit up and play a bit of Fable. Something about that game is just comforting. The music, the world, the familiar quests. It took my mind off my stomach for a while. Played for maybe an hour or two before I got tired again.

Then it was back to bed. My stomach was still aching pretty bad, so rest was really all I could do. Slept for most of the night.

Not every day can be a good day. Sometimes you just have to rest and reset.

Hoping tomorrow is better. For now, bed and sleep.
