BUT! I mentioned yesterday that I got name-checked at a dinner of Very Important bigwigs the other night. It occured to me later that one of those 20 or so people in the room was Roger Staubach. I am totally unreasonably gleeful about that. For no good reason - it's not like he'd likely remember or care or whatever. But still!
I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Slightly gross details:
I'm not throwing up any more, but I was up several times in the night with diarrhea.
Anyway, the doctor's guess is that it's some kind of infection, whether viral or bacterial, that I may have picked up while traveling. I have a few things I can do starting tomorrow if I have another difficult night.
I also think if I miss five days at work, I have to get medically approved to come back, so I'm a little stressed about that.

Oh Dana, such a bummer. The only thing I can recommend is lots of gatorade or a similar drink (the old water-sugar-salt combo) to keep yourself hydrated during all of this. And plain white rice might help slow down your digestive tract a bit.

Even though I know better, there's still a part of me that's like "Hey, at least I've lost seven pounds!"

medically approved to come back? WTF?

Because books.
Medically approved? Or you just a need a doctor's note for being out so many days?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Unless the policy has changed last time I checked, I have to go to a specific clinic and get cleared to come back.

That's miserable, Dana. Are you taking Imodium?
