you make me gag
I have to say that there is a phenomenon that affects some pregnant women. I like to call it "shut up or I'm gonna puke". It is not morning sickness or anything like that. Instead the mere thought of, smell of or someone talking about anything remotely gross makes you gag. Repeatedly. And the more you see it, think about it, smell it - whatever it may be, the worse it gets. In some cases you can gag so much you actually throw up. It is not a very pleasant experience. Not at all.
It affects me on a daily basis, several times. Sometimes just the thought of brushing my teeth can make me gag.
The other night, little bear woke up in the middle of the night crying and he was so upset that he threw up. In my bed. On my pillow. Grumpy had to strip and sanitize the room and make the smell go away before I could finally come out of the bathroom.
The next morning at 5:30 when I got up, I wandered in the dark toward the kitchen, where I proceeded to step barefoot into a combo pile of cat furball and vomit. Gag. Gag. Gag.
After I showered, I was finally able to brush my teeth, gag, gag. I went back out to the kitchen where low and behold one of the cats was having a case of the trots. Lovely. She left a trail all the way down the hall. I had to clean it up pronto. I actually cleaned it all up and disposed of it and defunked the hallway before the thought of it was too much for my gag addled brain. It wasn't pretty.
Right now just the word gag is making me gag. Ack.

I'm just not going to say anything, lest you hurl all over your monitor.

Try not to inhale, that's all I have to say.
I thought one of the cats (gag) in my bed the other morning, but when the sun came up I realized it was just my bracelet.
Well, it was cold.

Bless you, gagging girl!
Years ago, I had the pleasure of having an endoscopy performed on me. It was fun.
I, for the record, gagged for Scotland.
