Was sick, now better

[avram]

I was really sick yesterday.

Saturday, akawil was vomiting, and we all thought it was food poisoning from some inconsistently-defrosted turkey. Yesterday ladymondegreen and I came down with the same symptoms, so the the turkey’s off the hook unless somebody’s invented contagious food poisoning.

I spent the entire day sleeping, interrupted by having to use the toilet (generally at both ends) every 20-40 minutes. This eventually tapered off; by the evening I wasn’t vomiting anymore, and was able to sit still for an hour at a time, and kept down a dish of applesauce.

This morning I discovered my belly muscles had firmed up — I’d barfed enough to give myself an abs workout!

Yipe. There's got to be a better way to get a workout. I hope you're feeling better.

Yuck!

Aw, poor booboo. If Wil was sick Saturday, then it can't have been the sushi.

And while it would behoove you to take care of your uvula work your abs out more, I strongly recommend trying less, uh, strenuous methods. Preferably with no uvula flexing.

Eeeewwwwww!

Hope all three of you feel better soon.

Ouch! That sounds unpleasant. I hope you're all back to the regular schedule now, as it were.

That's a bizarre image.

The best part is when you call in sick to work the next day:

``I've got to call in sick...No, I'm not sick, but I was last night...no, but I spent eight hours on the can instead of sleeping.''

I had it too, the evening of 1/1. Could've been the turkey, but a bug going around seems more likely.
