Last week there was taxes and trying to get caught up on magazine stuff; then Stephanie has been visiting for most of the past week; Sunday I hosted a writing day (made decent progress on my story\/novel\/whatever, but not as much progress as usual); and then on Monday I got sick.<\/p>\n
Some kind of stomach flu or food poisoning sort of thing. Symptoms basically the same as the norovirus from WisCon a couple years ago, though milder. (And I had a relatively mild case of it at WisCon.) Don't know what caused it; nobody else got sick. Which leads me to suspect it might've been the crab sandwich I had at the Santa Cruz boardwalk on Saturday (about 30 hours before I started feeling a little off), but I have no evidence of that.<\/p>\n
Ended up spending most of Monday lying in bed, dazed and half-dozing. Tuesday felt better but decided to work at home to spare my co-workers from whatever it was I'd had.<\/p>\n
This morning, after too little sleep, drove S to the airport; got home, realized I was feeling sick again. Attended a work meeting by videoconference, then spent most of the rest of the day sleeping.<\/p>\n
This evening, stomach still a bit iffy. Trying again to catch up on magazine stuff, but am not much less behind than I was a week ago.<\/p>\n
Haven't eaten much lately. Since dinner Sunday, I've had a few slices of toast, several crackers with peanut butter, a little fruit, and one actual meal (at a Japanese place in downtown Palo Alto last night). Haven't been hungry, and have been queasy enough to not want to eat anyway.<\/p>\n
Am even further behind on responding to email than usual. Apologies if I owe you a response about anything.<\/p>\n
Anyway, don't mean to make it sound like I'm deathly ill or anything; as sickness goes, this one's been fairly mild and fairly brief. But it's left me without a lot of energy for much of anything.<\/p>\n
Including blogging. I imagination I'll be back to posting more often in a few days, though.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
