If he is not throwing up it is not food poisoning.
Or expelling partly used food from the other end . But yeah, I'd stay home.

I am home, and trying to persuade him to go to urgent care and get tested, and Tamiflu'd if necessary. He still thinks it is not flu.

Tell Mr. Flea that we vote for the doctor.

If he doesn't have stomach cramps and isn't spending most of his time in the bathroom, it's not food poisoning. I wish I had realized this was the flu early enough to get Tamiflu. Let me be a coughing and wheezing example.
I called the infusion center and confirmed that they don't want me there with the flu. I am better today. I'm going back to bed for a while, and then I'll decide if I need to head to urgent care.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yay, GInger!
I agree with the doctor for Mr. Flea.
Despite a lot of pain yesterday, I have found two positions that don't aggravate it, so I'm only fighting insomnia, not pain, when I try and sleep.
Don't know if I can maintain that position on multiple airplanes, but the idea that the pain can not only surge but recede is new. I guess the epidural is late in coming through.

He has the fucking flu. If you WONDER if it's food poisoning, it generally isn't. You KNOW. And want to die, now.
Calli, sorry about the job. :(
So I get Micah AND MARIA tomorrow!!! I'm so excited! Because of the house-selling, the house is actually in pretty good shape for the holidays.
Today will be glass recycling, then taking not one, but TWO sets of old encyclopedias to Half-Price Books (I don't care if we get $1 for 'em, I want them out of the house and I want that pace on my bookshelves -- and anyway, we've got to get a couple of gifts at Half-Price anyway.)
Some more shopping and gift-wrapping. Laundry. Mopping. I may do some crafting. Work on website a little, write a little. Go for a walk (I see a little sunshine!)
Oh, and CLEAN THE EFFING CAR before we are stuck in it for hours. I can't even.

Well, I got the car's state inspection taken care of and did some grocery shopping. I applied for another job and put a load of laundry in the washer. Aside from the rest of the laundry, my onerous tasks are pretty much done for today. Yesterday I cleaned out the fridge so my cat sitters wouldn't get a face full of stink every time they went for Leifur's hair ball meds. It's still a little wiff today, so I put some fresh ground coffee in it. I'm hoping that'll clear things up.
