First of all I think a lot of people already feel this way but here's my story! It gonna be a pretty long story because I'm incapable of keeping it short and sweet. You've been warned! 😂

I had food poisoning tonight for the 2nd time in about 3 months. Ya know- the gotta strip naked, everything coming out of both ends agony! Now for me personally, the part of this whole ordeal I can't handle is the throwing up. Ever since I was a little kid throwing up has made me cry because I can't breathe and then I get overwhelmed which kick starts my anxiety because I have no control over the situation. So yes, I'm an extra-ugly-vomiter. Because of this, I get really really anxious when no one is with me while I'm throwing up because I'm afraid I'll choke and never be able to breathe again (I totally know it's kind of irrational but welcome to my brain 🙃) So back to tonight..

I go to the bathroom around 11:00- husband is already asleep- and at this point I don't realize that I'm sick yet. Well at 11:30 I wake up my husband (who wakes up at 4:30 for work) and tell him I AM going to throw up and I think it's food poisoning again. So he comes in, trying to be as supportive as a freshly woken sleep zombie can be, but I can tell his patience is running thin. I start to get really anxious because "I need to throw up and it's right there but it's not coming out and I know it's gonna take forever and I'm not gonna be able to breathe" (I totally know I'm a big baby, but he knew that when he married me) Anyway... he says "Oh my GOSH you're just throwing up people do it everyday get over it!" I know it was mainly the sleepy talking, but it hurt my feelings so bad! I started to cry, got him to run and get me some water and Pepto and sent his grumpy sleepy ass back to bed.

I take a cold shower cause it helps and in comes my cat to keep me company. She never left my side and was extra cuddly and I just knew she knew something was up because she hates my puppy and keeps to herself recently.

Once I got back in bed, my puppy- who HATES to cuddle (which is such a disappointing trait in a puppy 😔)- was ALL over me. Tons of gentle kisses and came and cuddled right up beside me.

Meanwhile the Hubs is just a snoring away 🙄😒

So yes, animals are way better than people!!! 🐶🐱
