I suppose it's better than the flu?

lagilmanAustralian norovirus: I try it out so you don't have to. Trust me, you don't want this.
(particularly if you already have a compromised digestive system.)
On the plus side, and without TMI, it swoops through pretty fast - 12 hours from onset until end. Now I'm dealing with the aftermath. Keith picked me up some Gatoraid and ginger ale this morning, but I forgot to request crackers. Or jello. I wonder if, in all of NYC's delivery excess, there's a place that delivers jello?
EtA: jello shots, yes. Plain jello, no. Oh my city...
Meanwhile, the cats don't care that I am behaving like a rag doll. In fact, they seem to be enjoying it. ElderCat - her vet appointment for the ear postponed until tomorrow - is sleeping on my feet, while CatOfSize is doing the guy thing and coming over periodically to check on me, give me a headbutt, and then retreat to the other sofa to watch me, carefully...
If he had thumbs, he'd totally be making me jello.
The really annoying thing about all of this is that ragdolls don't have the brainpower to think, or the strength to sit up and type for any length of time. I'm supposed to be WORKING, damn it....
And daytime tv is STILL boring.
Tell the invalid a story?
EtA 2: I am daring actual food for the first time in 30 hours. And by 'actual food' I refer to overcooked, unsauced, un-cheesed pasta. I'm not sure if my distaste has more to do with my digestive system still being upset, or my foodie sensibilities being offended...

Date: 2013-01-31 12:35 am (UTC)I had to stop there, because Tony was going to ask about the diss, which was an exploration of how Steve's appearance had affected the Iron Man fandom, and then there would have been Slashy Angst of Angstiness, and I'm not quite sure how I feel about writing that. (Reading, now, that's different.)
