I walked into Lonan Kai’s room last night and he was damp and crusty again; yet another unfortunate vomiting episode. Fortunately, though, he seemed much better during the day and has regained his appetite.
Amanda seems to have fully recovered, while I was actually able to start eating again. Since Monday I have lost over ten pounds. I can get a six pack as a bonus from this virus! I probably have lost more as I checked my weight today with my hair very wet from the shower and with jeans and sweatshirt on. Amanda was alarmed at my abrupt shrunken look.
It probably was a virus (as opposed to food poisoning) due to the varying times we fell ill. Mike and Ann thought it was the tiramisu at their party, but we did not have any. They got sick as well, so perhaps it was something at the restaurant.
We saw them, as well as Pam and Annabel at Moneta and Ethan and Adina’s place today for a playgroup; we had deemed all of us non-contagious. I hope no one there gets ill anyway. We were going to have a PEPS+ meeting, but Jackie and Jeff and Calvin were still sick (probably from Mike’s party as well!). It was great to see everyone. I drank a beer. Woo.
It is now the evening and Lonan Kai is asleep. Armando is sleeping beside me on the desk. Piglet is scratching angrily at the door. Amanda is talking on the phone to Carrie upstairs. I am starving, but paradoxically don’t feel like eating. I predict a movie or documentary in our future tonight. I know, who would have guessed.
