Reopening the hotel, Sick stomach

Last night after work I headed to Bonita Springs to pick up a used king size bed frame I saw on FB marketplace.  I have decided I want to put a real bed in the guest room, something that has been missing for years.  For years people would refer to the house as Hotel Duffey as the guest room had a king size bed, furniture and a tv. Ali used to even put mints on the pillow as a joke. We used to try to make guests comfortable. Over recent years that room has been changed up repeatedly.  All of the furniture I used to have in there was given away, the king size bed was removed along with a number of other changes.

Since Cindy moved out the room is rather barren with a blow up queen bed in the center, a small cube by the bed and my great aunt/grandmother’s old chest of drawers with a TV on top that is too big for it.  It’s pretty sad.  The bed frame is the first step in “renovations”. (I guess the single curtain was a step too)  I plan on getting a king size box spring along with another foam/gel mattress similar to what I have in my bedroom.  I think the addition of a real bed will be a nice plus in there.  I can add some additional furniture at some point but the antique drawers will be ok for the time being.

I have described over the last few months the weird nausea I have been experiencing in the mornings.  This morning it was particularly strong, I had to take a few deep breaths to push the feeling of near barfing back below the surface.  This does not happen all the time but pretty regularly.  If I feel that way I quite often will skip the eggs and just do two pieces of PB toast instead of one.  I have no idea if this a sign of a physical condition or if it’s more stress related.

I remember when I was a young child I used to complain of feeling a similar way although I was too young to know what nausea was.  I must have talked about it a lot because I recall my mom actually taking me to the doctor for it and having a number of tests run on me as a result.  As far as I remember nothing ever came of the testing and that feeling just sort of faded away as I got older.  I managed to go 45 years or so until these feelings have returned, weird.
