We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

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!"

Because books.

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

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?

I hadn't been, but I'm starting that and keeping up with the probiotics I've been taking.
