I’ve been down and out the past couple of days with a stomach bug.  I guess that’s what happens when you try not to “waste” the food (and drinks) your toddler doesn’t finish and consume them yourself.  Note to self: please discard all unwanted food from now on and remember that if you don’t think it’s safe for your toddler to eat it, then it’s probably not safe for you to eat it either.

When I felt the first waves of nausea, I thought hopefully that I might be pregnant.  Any hope was crushed by the doctor who confirmed that it was definitely food poisoning because of an elevated pulse rate, mildly elevated temperature, and vomiting (which happened while I was in the clinic) that subsequently made me feel better.  Additionally, based on my cycle, it was probably too soon for me to be experiencing pregnancy symptoms anyway.

Not that I didn’t try testing with a home kit.  I bought myself a Clearblue home test stick after being convinced about its accuracy from my previous experience with Gavin.  I was a little surprised to discover that it had gone up in price.  I distinctly recall it only cost about RM20 the last time I bought it.  This time I paid RM30 for it.  Ah well, I figured it was just all the price hikes and inflation.  Little did I realise that this was a new and improved test stick.

What I bought was not the old Clearblue test stick that I had used previously.  Instead, it was a new Clearblue Digital test stick with an LCD monitor to tell you whether your urine test was positive or negative!

Goodness!  What will they think of next?
