I didn&#8217;t feel that way to start and even got up early to go grab champagne from the store. By the time I got on the bus headed downtown however, the nausea set in. When\u00a0I arrived at our parade watching spot, I had to go into a back alleyway to vom. Not my finest hour. I ate some granola and tried to get a couple mimosas down (hair of the dog) but it wasn&#8217;t working. The nausea wouldn&#8217;t go away. I ended up siting in a chair with my view of the parade mostly blocked, silent and just focusing on not vomming again.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1510\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/kimwetter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/chair-view.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1510\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1510\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kimwetter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/chair-view-225x300.jpg?resize=225%2C300\" alt=\"Me at the parade, fake smiling and trying not to vomit\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/kimwetter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/chair-view.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/kimwetter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/chair-view.jpg?w=480&amp;ssl=1 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1510\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Me at the parade, fake smiling and trying not to vomit<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I finally went home after the parade and napped for two hours.
