She then informed me that “tough” was none of those things, rather it was a way to describe feeling sick and feverish.

Yes, that is exactly the word I wanted to use. Bewildered didn’t quite carry the meaning. Confused didn’t work either, because that is sometimes a normal state of being for me. Surprised couldn’t quite carry the nature of things. Nope, the only word that works is flummoxed, as in being totally taken aback, twirling in a bewildered and awestruck surprise. This morning, I was flummoxed, and I’m still reeling.

We usually say it only when some less-than-admirable trait of ours has been exposed in all its ugliness. But what we really mean to say is, “Well, that’s just the way I am, and I can’t do a dadgummed thing about it, so if this is bothering you, that’s just too bad, you’re going to have to deal with it.” If we could get by with it, we would stomp our feet in childish anger, too.
