Pity Party
Go figure. I mean, really.
Saturday afternoon all of us went to friends' in NJ for the afternoon, and on the drive home I began feeling a bit queasy. Like I'd eaten too much of the potluck we'd had. By the time we got close to home I just about ready to open the car door and hurl onto the roadside.
I caught the nastiest stomach bug seen this side of Venus. I'm still messed up, I can barely eat and I am so weak and tired. Fortunately neither Neil nor Julia have gotten sick -- for whatever reason. But I suspect this is the same viral thing that's worked its way through several families we know around here. Julia may have been protected by the rotavirus vax she's gotten, thank god.
Moral: Vaccinate your children!!! For the love of God!
So yeah. No date night for us after all. :( But our babysitters (who were the first we'd heard of to catch this same bug) said they can watch Julia in a couple weeks when we have a house concert to go to. So we'll work it out. For now I'll just keep trying to eat and see if I'll ever feel normal again. I HATE being sick. Hate hate hate.
