Upsides to Stomach Bugs

The thing about having a stomach bug is that it sucks all kinds of donkey butt. However, it has its upsides. First, not being able to eat means you might drop a couple of pounds before you get your appetite back. Second, if it happens during the week, you get to miss a day or two of work. Third, on the second day you miss, you'll start feeling well enough again, finally, that you'll be able to do something other than lay in bed and run to the bathroom. In my case, that means I'm able to play the Sims and read my book. And that's pretty nice.

And also, if you're lucky, you'll even have concerned friends take the time to call to see if you're okay and if you need anything, because they'll gladly stop by after work. I'm that lucky. Of course, I e-mailed him back (because I was in bed when he called and didn't answer the phone) and told him that I don't need anything, and I'm already feeling better than I was this morning, and I'm sure that I'll get even better as the day goes on. But he's very sweet to worry.

And now I'm going to go back to laying down. I hope you all are healthy out there, and if you're sick, I hope you too have concerned people watching out for you.
