I don't know what exactly was wrong with me yesterday -- whether it was a stomach virus, extremely bad morning sickness, or a foodbourne illness -- but for about half the day I couldn't keep anything down. Later in the day, I improved and felt better, but I never felt entirely good yesterday.
So I mostly slept all day, and then went to bed early last night, and I feel better today. I still don't feel great, but I feel much better than yesterday and I am at work.
For some reason, even when I know I have good reason to be at home sick, I still feel guilty for calling in sick and cancelling my classes. Plus, it makes for more work since I have to re-arrange class material to make up for the missed day, so I have a lot to do today to catch up.
**Update: Interestingly, I got about 4 emails from sick students yesterday who were emailing me to let me know they were ill and couldn't come to class, and I found out that two fellow faculty members were also out ill yesterday, so maybe it was some kind of bug afterall.

Glad your feeling better, don't feel to guilty about calling in a sub-that's what their there for!
IKWYM, about switching class material around, what a pain.
You will be so happy when you can say: "I've been vomit free since...[fill in the date]." Let's hope that date is soon... :)
I'm glad you're feeling on the ups :-) Bummer on the workout load GAH!
I refuse to buy any of that hoo ha! The youngster growing inside of you does not like Irish people. That is obviously why you felt like crapatola yesterday. I know, you are overwhelmed by my deductive reasoning.
Probably a bug, and being pregnant (and early into it) makes it worse! Glad you are feeling better :-)
glad it was a quick bug...i am now lying here 'cause i twisted my ankle--poop
Hope the upswing continues! Yeah, I always feel guilty laying in bed too, and then having to rearrange class things. It's hard on those CRAZY students that believe the syllabus is set in stone!!
Good luck!!
Hopefully you keep feeling better. Stomach issues are the worst.
Yikes, be careful, there are sooo many "weird" bugs out there, glad you're feeling better.
Glad to hear you're feeling a little better today.
Glad you're feeling a bit better today!
Sounds like you must have picked up something that was going around. Glad to hear it was short-lived!
glad you are feeling better today!! definitely sounds like some sort of bug :(
I hate calling in sick too because I feel guilty. Must have been a bug going around.
I totally remember the days where it was easier to go in to teach then call in sick. I hope you don't have too much make up work!
Glad you are feeling better!
I hope you feel better soon!
The sick bug is going around my work, too. I am trying to ward it off like the plague. Maybe some caution tape, bubble wrap and a big can of Lysol will do the trick.
It's weird, there is some random stomach virus going around here too. We haven't gotten it yet, but I know a few people who have. Glad you survived.
