The occasional sniffles or light cold, but not much more than that. I made up for it this weekend, though, when I managed to come down with some nasty 48-hour-ish flu bug. Saturday evening I had a little bit of a headache, but it wasn&#8217;t anywhere near enough to make me worry. Prairie and I had a good mexi-goo dinner (a bit of experimentation on her part, somewhere between enchilada and casserole), watched some <em>Frasier<\/em>, and went to bed. As the night wore on, though, I started feeling queasy&#8230;and then the bug hit. From 3am until 8am, I had nearly hourly trips to the restroom to puke, accompanied by cold sweats, and fever hovering around 100 degrees. Not fun in the least!<\/p>\n<p>Sunday I ended up spending most of the day sleeping, trying to catch up on the sleep I&#8217;d missed Saturday night. We carefully fed me drinks (clear liquids only), crackers, and white bread, which stayed down most of the day&#8230;then one last puke session Sunday night brought it all back up again. Thankfully, the fever broke last night, and everything I&#8217;ve munched on today has stayed down. I was able to spend today in bed again (with a short run onto campus to turn in an assignment that had to be in today), and it looks like the worst is over. Still, while I hate missing two days of work and one of school, at least I don&#8217;t find bugs like this very often. It&#8217;s been years since I&#8217;ve had anything like this &#8212; here&#8217;s hoping it&#8217;s another good many years before another such bug gets me!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Generally speaking, I don&#8217;t get sick very often.
