The ENTIRE Fam has gotten sick. Drake is least hit, while Sharon, Vance and I spent our night throwing up and being pretty much unable to do anything. Vance was the first to recover, then me. Sharon has managed to finally emerge from the bedroom and is now laying on the couch. She's trying to eat... I feel bad that we three boys were able to eat a solid meal, but she's having a tough time with broth. She'll improve soon, I'm sure. She's at least drinking tea.
The sickness is NASTY. It's massive puking and pooping. It's like having cholera or something. On top of that it's all sulfur smelling. Just gross. We were going to open the windows to air the house out but...
It's the worst weather here in many years right now. Couple inches of snow, temperatures are supposed to drop to -18 C (0 F) with windchill. A howling wind. Though Victorians aren't as pathetic with some snow as Seattleites (seriously-- Seattle people flip out every time when it snows. And it snows every year there. But not always here), the roads are indeed bad. I went outside a few minutes ago and the roads are bad by Spokane standards, and Spokane gets dumped on every year kinda like Minnesota. So, yeah, good times. Super sick + horrible weather. The bright side is that the snow is pretty and our house is warm (we turned on the heat for the first time this year).
I still feel worn out and mildly ill, but I'm happy to have recovered this much. I think I'll be able to work out later, even.
Anyway... I didn't get to see the new Punisher movie because I was sick. Hope it's in theatres next weekend.
sick,
