Missed engagement!

Lauren was sick for her own engagement party!  Jesse stayed home and held her hair while she threw up.  I guess the festivities went on, even though there was a blizzard outside and no guests of honor.  I heard Fat Linda bars were on the scene; I should have driven there just for those.

I have been sick before and it is no fun.  Especially when there is puking involved.  Did I ever mention I puked for nine months straight?  Pretty much from the time of conception to the day of birth, I threw up.  I threw up in the morning and the afternoon and night.  I threw up before eating, during eating, and after eating.  I threw up in the shower, because for some reason the water made me gag.
...and then the puking stopped
I remember telling my obstetrician, who soon became my ex-obstetrician, that I needed time off from work because I couldn't stop throwing up.  She said that I would have to cope and that she even had a patient who was a hairdresser, and she rolled a fluid dispensing IV cart around the salon with her, as she washed and cut hair.  Seriously, wtf.  If my hairdresser came up to me being trailed by an IV, I would be very uncomfortable and not really want her to cut my hair.
