oakenguyUp until 2, then asleep until noon...is it a vacation day, a sick day, or both?
Yes, it's both, (for I'm all about the multi-tasking), but at least it's not a bad illness--just a stomach that has decided it doesn't want to work, and greets any food with dismay. Great dismay--I've never before had stomach groans coming from two different parts of my gut, call-response style. "Mrrp?" "MRRP!" "Grrrvm?" "Mrrm!" But it could be so very, very, very much worse.
I could still be at my family's, for one thing. The combination of my illness and the "storm" (which, um, COULD have been really bad if the temperature had dropped below freezing) got us out the door and on the road by 3 yesterday.
It's a relief to be home (which is an understatement along the lines of 'it's a relief to have that insane monkey pried off my head'), but y'know, I'm not sure D and I can handle this much free time--she's already rearranged the bedroom furniture, and begun saying things like "Y'know, why don't we have some fun and reorganize all the bookshelves, either alphabetically or by topic? Or both?", and I've gotten all emo. I can't remember the last time I've cried at two movies IN A ROW. It might've just been that both "Pieces of April" and "Iron Giant" are totally moving...but I should probably make sure the next thing I watch is a Sci-Fi Channel "original" about a team of scientists trying to stop a giant snake/mosquito hybrid or something like that, where the only emotional distress I'll feel is about the screenplay.
