Went back to sleep. Woke up again. Still sick. Yuck.
But if the world doesn't end, I'm gonna need a note.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Poor Hil. I'm glad the new doctor is listening to you, though. So frustrating.
I'm at the airport. Must finalize things I need to do before I leave the world of Internet access. However will I survive?
Oh, and it's 1 degree Fahrenheit here. And I still wore flipflops to the airport. My mom thinks I'm nuts, but I didn't have room for any extra shoes.

OK, this is just sad. I drank maybe two ounces of water, in tiny sips, and I'm really fighting to keep it down. Ridiculous.

Oh, Hil. That's just miserable.

Hil, you'll have an easier time of keeping an electrolyte solution down than just plain water:
- 20oz water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar

I'm currently in a window seat (I prefer the aisle), but so far there is no one next to me in the middle seat, so all should be well. I hope.
My hostess has called twice to let me know what she's wearing, in case I don't remember what she looked like. I've tried to assure her that I remember what she looks like, but she called again to let me know that her red shirt was dirty and would be wearing a pink shirt with palm trees on it instead. Too funny.

Today when I called in sick I said it was a stomach virus. It COULD be a stomach virus... but it somehow seemed less embarassing than saying "if someone could stick a giant pin in me and let me fly around the room for a while I could come to work"
Oh, Trudy, I know this syndrome all too well. The last time it happened to me it was right after thanksgiving and it was hardcore, because I did throw up, which is not usual for me and the horrible gas pains. Usually I just maybe smoke up a little and try to sleep because the pain tenses me up so much it won't go away while I'm concious. Child's pose sort of makes me feel better sometimes and has encouraged the release of gas IME.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
There is a NASTY norovirus (stomach bug) going aroung NYC right now - ER visits for vomiting and diarrhea are almost double what they were last year around this time. I had it right after Christmas and it was No Fun. It took about 3 days to work itself out of my system.

There's a vomiting bug going around my office here too. Most people fell to it over Christmas but two more people have called in today. I'm hoping I miss it by virtue of working downstairs away from the open-plan germ-sharing area.

It's airborne!

Flipflop news:
I currently count five people in the boarding area that are wearing flipflops. And there are at least two other people missing socks. I'm not sure what this says about us...either we're really smart packers--keeping room for more swimsuits--or really stupid to be out in 1 degree F temps without socks on.
