I’ve been thoroughly floored by a nasty stomach bug since Wednesday night which has pretty much kept me from doing anything except laying in bed and replaying my collection of Buffy DVDs. The bug’s been passing around half the people in my team lately, and I’m afraid I finally caught it. :-(

I may be finally coming out of it. This is the first time I’ve been able to sit up long enough to type this. I’m still pretty weak, but at this point I’m not sure if that’s the illness or simple calorie deficiency. I’ve dropped almost ten pounds since Wednesday. (Please don’t try this at home. Trust me: it’s not worth it.) I’m able to eat some real food today, though I’m still way below my typical daily calorie intake. With a little luck, maybe I’ll be functional by Monday (and if I’m not I’m going to the doctor), but in the meantime please don’t expect frequent updates or rapid responses to e-mail.
