New School Year / Gravol

So school has started again and it might mean less blogging so I'm gonna leave off with a silly story that happened a week ago.

So a week ago, I was feeling rather sick in the morning and went back to bed, missing afternoon tea with the extended family. Anyhow, I wake up in the middle of the day still feeling pretty sick, so I tried to keep myself together, until finally, I vomited and had diarrhea (it was more like just water). A hunch told me I shouldn't eat so I didn't but decided to drink a cup of water when I was really thirsty. That was when I decided to goto the hospital to get advice - from feeling extremely weak and throwing up anything I drank.

I tell the doctor my symptoms and suggest that maybe I have gotten food poisoning from the raw oysters I ate a few days ago. The doctor deemed it hard to prove and says there's a common bug going around this time and that I was probably feeling weak from dehydration.

Then he gives me advice: "Go home and take a little bit of Gravol and take it with a small amount of water."
I was intently listening to his directions but got sidetracked as I pictured myself doing as he suggested. Something didn't seem right so I double checked by asking, "So u want me to take a bit of dirt and drink it down?"
