Grocery Store Drama

So I had a fierce craving for an apple and stopped at the grocery store this morning. I really felt/feel bad this morning, very sick. So I go in and there's only one line open, and the older lady in front of me is messing w/ coupons and carrying on about this and that, then I'm up, but she remembers she meant to buy a bag of manure (!!!), oh--and some stamps--and can someone carry the manure to her car for her. I was barely hanging on and that's when a dizzy spell hit me, so then I sat on the floor and since I was alarming people admitted I was pregnant and that I came in for the apple. The guy behind me, who had been making jokes before, was very nice and tried to help. He finally suggested I just start in on the apple before I paid for it, so I did. The cashier weighed it with several bites missing and gave me a paper towel and I chowed down. They were all very nice about it, and joked about not charging me the missing bites of apple.

I felt better while eating the apple but then morning sickness really hit me hard today. I snacked on potato salad mid-morning at work but could not keep it down. What I want to know is, when you're being sick in the bathroom at work, why is that when everyone needs to come in? Even tho I'm in a stall and they can't see me, I feel very self-conscious. And of course they are not helping. Ahem. It's soooo not fun. I wish I could put a sign on the door marked "busy-10 minutes please", or that there was a secondary bathroom in the building!

Here I am in my cube and... Oh god, somebody's eating tuna and... is that burnt toast??? Yee gods, help me!
