Woke up this morning feeling crummy, but decided I would start working anyway to see how long I could tough it out -- plus I was supposed to call a customer at 10 am, so I figured I might at least get that out of the way before taking the rest of the day off.

The 10 am meeting got postponed until 11:30, and I still felt less than awesome, so I found someone to cover for me and took the rest of the day off sick. Then I went back to bed.

I was getting the chills, so around noon I got up to turn the thermostat up, put on slippers, and (while I was at it) check my email. I drank a little water and went back to bed.

About thirty seconds later, threw up for the first time since FROST BOB III in February 2003. (There's something about February...) Made it to the toilet first, which was good. Didn't make it to the bathrobe first, so it may be that some of the neighbors got to see a sight which I can't imagine was in anyone's top ten most desirable.

Now it is time to go to bed. I guess I will try to drink a little water first, although that idea makes me a bit nervous.

I was supposed to go meet my mother (and possibly others) up at Wright's Farm tonight, so unfortunately I won't be able to make that.

aw, poor jake! let me know if you need me to bring you any gingerale or anything.

If you have the time to pick up a few things for me, that would be really nice. Ideally ginger ale (good call!) and cranberry juice. Let me know, and thanks a lot!

No problem! I can drop that off to you just after five (is that too late?). If you need anything other than gingerale and cranberry juice text me a list.

That's fine. Thanks!

In your neighborhood, I wouldn't worry too much about what was seen through the bathroom window! It might even have been useful camouflage for an apartment full of electronics.

Here's hoping it's just something irritating in your stomach and not that awful biker-bar norovirus. And if it is the norovirus, here's hoping it goes away like it's supposed to!
