Bright Sides

On Tuesday night, I got really, really sick. My stomach started to hurt on the way home, but I figured it was just motion sickness from David’s crazy driving (tee hee). But nope! Not motion sickness! Because, you know, motion sickness usually goes away at some point after you stop moving. Whatever this was (still unsure, but guessing a vicious 24-hour bug?) did not go away. It stayed! And made me violently ill! All night long!

Needless to say, I did not go to the office yesterday. I slept, a few hours at a time, and tried to stay hydrated (not all that successfully). While I was awake, in an attempt to not freak out about the fact that I was in bed instead of at work three days before a major deadline, I also made the following list:

I barely ever get stomach bugs. The last time I can remember feeling this sick to my stomach was December of 2007, on the bus back to Austria from Poland. That time, I was on a bus. Today I am in my bed. Obviously this is way, way, way NOT AS BAD.

I have a competent intern. Which is basically like having a second me! Or pretty close, anyway. So stuff is still getting done! I would like to find the man who invented the competent intern, and I would like to kiss him on the mouth. But not until I’m fully recovered.

My head hurts. A lot. But hey! At least I still have a head! Lots of people do not.

Hayley Mills has got nothing on me.
