Feb 8 05: re-emergence
Well, this was fun. I came down with the stomach flu on Sunday evening, but I think it’s all over now. In the last 48 hours, I have consumed one jug (and a little) of Gatorade, about twenty Ritz crackers, a cup of yogurt, and a jar of applesauce. The lingering not-a-cold-but-you-have-to-clear-your-throat-every-forty-seconds seized the opportunity to upgrade itself into an actual cold, as well, but I can deal with that. I have slept a lot; my waking hours have been filled with DVDs. (Reading seemed to be a little too focus-intensive, especially when the fever was going up and down and up and down.)
I am bored out of my mind. I am even…is it possible?…hungry for actual food. Both of these suggest that things are up and running again, but it’s disconcerting that another ‘sign of health’ is that I’m looking forward to getting back to work so I can clear out the unspeakable backlog that awaits me in my inbox. Still, it beats the hell out of a night spent vomiting. I guess.
