Motion Sickness

I never had motion sickness in my life, until I got pregnant with Violet. Since then, it hasn't stopped. It's infrequent, but it comes on like a linebacker. It takes about five seconds for me to get motion sick and 30 minutes to an hour to recover.

Being pregnant again has made it worse/more frequent.

Tonight we took Violet to dinner at "The Aquarium" in Houston, because they had a special menu for Houston Restaurant Week. Cute outing, money goes to charity, sweet idea, right?

WRONG.

If you're dealing with motion sickness, it is a bad idea to be in a dark room that's full of thick glass aquarium walls, because that glass distorts everything and makes you sicker than a dog. And we didn't even order off the charity menu.

The company was nice though...and they picked up the tab. Too bad I was too barfy feeling to order dessert.

And yeah, I just whined about going out to a nice dinner where someone else paid. I'm going to bed now.
