Damn Norovirus.Last night I had an invalid's cocktail bar--grape Gatorade, ginger ale, ice water, Advil, Tylenol, saltines--on the nightstand, and I've managed to sleep for four and five hours at a shot. I don't really wake up to do anything in particular, just ache and toss a little. The fireworks were over by 5:30 am on Saturday, so it's just

I had this a year ago. Sucks to hell and back don't it.

Advice, seriously, don't eat. That way lies badness. Liquids for at least another day would be my advice. I gave in and ate when I had it and THOROUGHLY regretted it. It seems to need at least three days to get through the system.

Ugh, just remembering it makes me feel awful. Feel better soon!

When you do attempt to eat, stay far away from eggs. It's always best to stick to the B.R.A.T. diet after a stomach malady: bananas, rice, applesauce and toast. Seriously, nothing else, and especially not anything high in fat like eggs or dairy. Bananas are especially good because they're high in potassium which your body needs when it's dehydrated.

The norovirus truly sucks. Hope you're feeling better soon.

The statewide outbreak article is from January of last year, but it DOES seem to be going around rather heavily again. Practically everyone I know, including myself, has it. :/ SUCKKKSS. As above, can't be stressed enough, do not eat. It hurtssss.

Norovirus is rampaging through the UK at the moment as well. It's nasty stuff, and very infectious. Hope you get well soon.

I hope you all start feeling better soon! <3

on a different note: I believe you've said sister girl went to culinary school. would you mind me asking which one, and whether or not she enjoyed it? (I'm looking to go to culinary school, and just trying to gather some opinions.) thanks.

The Culinard, in Birmingham, AL. I think she enjoyed it--she was going to work days and school nights, though, so she was kind of whipped. And she did end up deciding that chocolate was more difficult than she wanted to work with, and she didn't so much like some of the early, "savory" classes she had to take (cleaning fish, etc). But those are things you'd run into at any cooking school, I'd imagine. She seems to have enjoyed it, yeah. Loved her teachers.

Thanks!

And again, feel better!
