I guess Will must be doing a great job keeping your spirits up.

I'm feeling a bit tired tonight.....it's been a month since my surgery. One month ago today...

Some days I think I'll never feel normal again...

Is that normal?

everything can seem out of joint.

There's feeling good, feeling bad, and feeling normal. Most people like to feel normal.

Then I came home and promptly got a case of gastroenteritis. No, it wasn't the water in Mexico. Cancun's water is pretty good, actually. Just sick as a dog, though...

Coining a cliche, could have been something you ate. Even the most carefully prepared food can gut bomb you.

Well, glad you're off the sick rolls. Will Will be returning soon?

Driving home Thursday night, I started to get a stomach ache. By the time a got home, it was a bad stomach ache, chills and fever, and that head-is-swimming feeling. Some kind of viral gastroenteritis. An unpleasant night. I managed to drag myself into work yesterday, because I had no choice, so I wore khakis, a casual shirt, and my favorite Nike hoodie. Quite the look, but no clients, I told my co- workers just to stay away, and sprayed everything down with Lysol. I felt a lot better by the end of the day.

So, Aristus, what are the two of you up to this weekend? I have my second boxing lesson this morning, I expect to be tired and sore afterwards.

In-between, free as air. I'm hanging in a local coffee shop right now; renowned for it's liberal vibe and welcoming to both Yuppies and the college kids. Me, I'm a MASPy, a Middle-Aged Suburban Professional.

Get better soon...

It was just a 24 hour thing.

Are you hanging out with Will again? Or has he abandoned you to spend the evening with the fairer sex?

I think Anne must have given him what-for when he was home. But just you wait. Some dark-haired young thing is bound to catch his eye sooner or later, and he'll go into Sonnet-mode.

I'll tell you, there are some fine-looking young ladies in the coffee shop this afternoon...

"But it comes in such small bottles! You drinkers today are such tossers!"

I agree as far as: 'love it!'

But it's more cost effective to buy a twelver of it in the little bottles.

I just discovered the stuff about a month ago. I got a pint just to try it and I've been hooked since then.
