Spent most of yesterday in a haze of something-bad-with-my-stomach. I drank water and cranberry juice mixed together, nibbled on crackers, and begged Sailor Boy to perform a mercy killing, but he demurred. The jerk.
I’m REALLY bad at being sick. I resent it so much.
So, as a result, I have nothing of interest to say at the moment. Until the plague hit, my writing was going well, and I hope it will return to that state once I’m well enough to string sentences together.
A very funny article on a most unusual home birth. I’m not usually big on the baby magazines, and those who know me know my feelings about home deliveries, but this one made me laugh. Besides, The Terminator is one of my favorite films.
I’m sure I read some cool blog posts to link to lately, but for the life of me, I can’t remember.
Sorry guys. I’ll check back when I’m upright again.

I hope you feel better soon. And I meant to tell you earlier that I love the book covers lined up on top of your blog. I wish I had more than one to show off.
Someday…

I know this is on the wrong post, but, for a fourth book, have you read Barry’s book?

You might try ginger (ale, tea, candy, etc). Cranberry juice is very acidic.
(Wasn’t I just telling you about cloves the other day?)
Glad SB didn’t oblige.

I think there’s something going around the blogosphere. -shudder- Intersicknesses. Nice.
Get well soon! Sometimes I think that being sick is your body’s way of telling you, “You’re doing too much! STOP!” and then forcing you to oblige. Take your rest where you can get it, even if it is a bit…unpleasant, and then, once you’re better, you’ll hop up, ready and rarin’ to go.
That and stomach bugs are mercifully short.

Get better soon, Diana!

Hope you’re feeling better soon!

oops, anonymous was me — hit the post key too quickly!
Anyway, get some rest and get better!

Being sick sucks – hope you feel better soon! I also love the blog update – very clean and crisp look!

Rachel, it’s someday SOON.
Patrick, as soon as that book is out in paperback, I will. I’m just a po’ lil’ blogger, remember? Also, I think I just got a donation. W00T!
Gina, for some reason, I find cranberry very soothing. Go figure. Yes yes yes, cloves and ginger, I know, but I didn’t have the desire to leave the house.
Miri, I have heard this theory from others… Marley thought she gave whatever she had last week to me. How weird would that be? There’s also the theory that I have sympathetic dysentery because my friend got it in Peru last week… (hmmm, maybe i should do a post about my friend’s trip to Peru?) I’m not even sure I know exactly what dysentery is, but it sounds like a disease we shouldn’t have anymore.
Thanks, May!
Thanks, phyllis! And here I was thinking it was the nicest thing anonymous has ever said to me!
Thanks, Carrie! Hey, don’t you have something to send me?

Oh, sorry you’re not well, Diana! I was sick on Christmas Day (strep throat and fever) and it was hideous. And totally unfair.
Feel better soon!

Sorry, mistakenly thought you were wealthy, since you are published.
Donation of Barry’s book? If not, I can donate that.
January 23, 2007 at 9:49 pm
Yep, Patrick. I’m rolling. In fact, I just bought Dan Brown’s jet.

I was wondering who outbid me.

Oy, feel better! Our whole household had that bug, and it’s the worst!
