I got home about an hour ago (half days during exams) with firm plans to grade all afternoon and evening and do lots of laundry since my mom arrives tomorrow night. I made myself some Mac and Cheese for lunch and was about to get to work when my stomach decided it HATES ME and HATES MAC & CHEESE. I have no idea why, given that I'm not lactose intolerant and have been eating Mac & Cheese my whole life, but man am I miserable right now.
I've taken something and am considering crawling into bed and seeing if a nice nap might help me to sleep it off.

ETA: Hugs to Suzi and her mom. I'm sorry there isn't an easy answer, sweetie. That sucks.
{{{Suzi and Suzi's mom}}}
{{{Suzi and mom}}} Not knowing is awful.
{{{Kristin}}} Blech. Sorry, sweetie.
Yikes, lot's of health-ma all the way around.
{health-Ma all around}
KristenT - could you be having sinus problems? new ones? or old ones but worse than before? I'm not lactose intolerant either, but the last few years have found that dairy can cause the symptoms you describe when my sinuses are acting up.
Argh, I've had a cold for like a week now, and I keep sneezing blood. It's gross. And it's only out of one nostril, so it's gross and it's confusing.
In other news, I started the practical work for my dissertation today. There's no going back. Eeek.
sj, rather than trying to think of something to give as a going-away present, something she'll have to try and pack, give her a huge hug.
In a month or so, when she's settled and mostly-unpacked, send her flowers. Or a plant. Or have a nice dinner delivered. Something she'll have the time to appreciate, and that will make her think of you fondly.
Then as she mentions her new decor or interests, whatever, you'll find the perfect thing to send her. Objects really don't mean as much as we think. Most of the time they're just placeholders, reminders of that person, that time.
And really, we all remember the important people and times, without a prompt.
(((sj))). I know this is a hard time for you. Wishing you strength to get through it.
ION, Come onnnnn, AmyLiz' bro's baby! Amy wants to know if she's an aunt or an uncle!
