This is the second year in a row that I missed Courtney’s birthday party because I’m sick. At least this year I’m hoping it’s self-limiting and quick (a stomachache). I’m not sure what happened, but this morning at work I wasn’t feeling so good. A lot of people have been dragging this week and I’m not the only one in the group who is getting slammed with outside requests. Anyway, I came home early to do some writing but I collapsed as soon as I got home and it was two hours later when I woke up. And my stomach still hurt. Fortunately, it seems to be getting better (the stomach part, not the work part).
