The YearlyKos Made Me Vomit

The YearlyKos Made Me Vomit


By Rachel Griffiths

Frantically I pulled over to
the side of the road, got out of the car and vomited.  Less than an
hour ago I had been excitedly talking, laughing, cheering and learning
at the YearlyKos Convention.  Walking to the parking garage at the
McCormick Place I felt happy and hopeful.
 

As I turned west out of the parking garage onto Cermack Road it
hit me.  A  pain in my stomach and chest, my breathing became quick and
shallow, tears started rolling down my cheeks.  By the time I hit Canal
Street I was sobbing a deep guttural cry, like when my father had died.
 I had no idea where the crying spell came from but it was getting
worse. Dry heaves…frantically I pulled over to the side of the road,
got out of the car and vomited.  Leaning against a concrete divider I
slowly calmed downed, getting my breathing back to normal, only slow
tears.
