Dukoral.

So I took my first dose of Dukoral as seen here in the photo. I have to take another,and last, one a week before my trip. You have to dissolve granules in 150 ml of water and then add the liquid in the vial and mix well and then....gulp.....drink it. Ugh.....I hate that. I much prefer a capsule where you just swallow the thing and don't have to gag down and taste that nasty-ass stuff. I chugged it down fast, imagining in my mind that it was a nice tasty thick frothy chocolate milkshake.

It wasn't.

It was gross but at least it did have sparkly little bubbles like soda pop so I pretended instead it was a nice refreshing glass of cream soda pop. Nice try. It was still vile and then I had to wait an hour until I could eat again but that, as it turned out, was no problem as my stomach rebelled after that; it felt nauseated and killed my appetite. It took all I could to manage to keep that down and not barf it back up again. I wasn't hungry after that.Yuck. It also provides Cholera protection as well and basically I drank a small dose of inactivated Cholera so this week I pretty much hit my poor old body with Cholera, Diptheria, Tetanus,and Pertussis. I feel like a walking epidemic.

As well, because I don't know technical stuff and am just dumb in general my hubby gets frustrated and he yelled at me I'm So retarded! and condescendingly rolls his eyes and shakes his head in disgust because he has zero tolerance for anyone that isn't smart like he is and that doesn't understand things easily like he does and things never work for me the first time either and I always have to keep trying several times, to which he sneers The definition of insanity is to keep trying the same thing over and over again expecting a different result, trying to discourage me, basically telling me I'm just too stupid anyway so I might as well just give up,and besides, who is he to talk about insane anyway? Oh, the things I could tell you about him.... he also didn't know how to set the Google Home back to factory setting but the 11 YR old told him to just hold down the Mute button for awhile and that will work but he just scoffed at it and dismissed it and said it won't do anything and will likely just completely ruin it,etc. but I said it doesn't hurt to try and I'd listen to the kid; he's smart and he's probably right, and if you ever want to know about technical stuff like texting, video games, etc. ask someone under 20; they're the experts; they grew up with this stuff......so he tried it....

and it worked....and I could tell he was pissed-off: the kid was right and he was wrong.The smug arrogant asshole really needed to be humbled though and he was humbled and schooled really good and by someone younger than him,too,and I was there to witness it in all it's glory and it felt really good. My mother always criticizes me too and says I'm "mean" to him for standing up to him and calling him an asshole and I reminded her This is why. This is an example of why.

In my life I've always been beaten down, knocked down, kicked down, and held down but I also always rise back up again. I am a survivor. By the Grace of God go I.
