Pregnant?

The last two mornings I have woken up with raw nerves, but nothing terrible until I try to eat breakfast.  Yesterday morning I had toast with butter & honey, and today a mini bagel with a small bit of cream cheese.  (Both with tea - I've got to have some caffeine!)

As soon as I started eating both days I got so nauseated I could barely finish the food.  Yesterday I did 100 skips of jump rope (I can't believe how much that works your whole body) and went outside and manually pumped up the tires on our cars. (They lose air over time, plus change 1 PSI for every ten degrees (f) of temperature change.)  I could tell they needed it because they have both been handling sloppy on corners.  Side curiosity - can anyone from Europe say what air pressure is measured in over there?  Since it's metric I'm assuming it wouldn't be pounds per square inch.

Anyhow, the exercise made my stomach feel better which means it was nerves.  Not sure why I'm having trouble now when I've been doing so well. If I really do get sick, that routine will backfire terribly on me.  Imagine doing jump rope & push-ups when you have the flu.  I guess I should exercise with a bucket & towel close by.

Today I had the same thing happen but felt better by lunch time.  Male morning sickness!  I would like to trade it for nighttime sickness so that I would be more disciplined in my eating habits.

The title of this post probably got the grandparents all excited.  Sorry about that.  Vasectomy is still scheduled for the 30th :)

Got it :)

Doesn't Europe use BAR as pressure measurement?

Marcus said...

The Irish do their own thing where air pressure and treaties are concerned.

Probably kPa. "The pascal (Pa) or kilopascal (kPa) as a unit of pressure measurement is widely used throughout the world and largely replaces the pounds per square inch (psi) unit except in some countries still using the imperial measurement system." -- This is from Wikipedia so it has to be true. ;^)

Now my only question is are you Matt DuPont, Matt Ball, or Matt Ferguson?

I'm guessing Ferguson since I've only got one hit from Portland and they didn't read anything.

(This info courtesy of Google Analytics - it's fun but a little sad to see that most of my readers are people I have never met in person and my other friends are mostly not reading at all.)

Sorry, it's DuPont, but we do have a nice parting gift for you. Thanks for playing.

Apparently Google Analytics cannot be trusted, I have been reading...in stealth mode, I guess.

Ah - I've got 51 hits from Beaverton. That must be you and Tammie House. She said they live really close to you.
