Of all days to come down with the stomach flu...

I was going to buy a copy of the Dark Side of the Moon DVD. I can't. I have to stay home because I need to be near a bathroom at all times. What timing. This sucks.

When I went to the hotel yesterday, I forgot to pack a bottled water. I had to drink hotel water. I couldn't go out and get anything because the dogs would bark and didn't want to get found out because you're not supposed to leave them alone (according to the hotel rules) I'm sure it didn't help, but I don't think drinking the tapwater caused it because I could feel myself getting sick when I first went there. It just got progressively worse throughout the day is all. Stan blames it on stress. I don't think stress could cause this much harm. I mean, I've had stress with this whole plumbing project, but in the past, I've endured MAJOR STRESS and this episode was nothing compared to some other really stomach-churning incidents which made me lose my appetite and vomit, but nothing like this.

But at least we have lead-free pipes at home, for what it's worth.

I didn't get a damn thing done at the motel. I tried to get some sleep, which was sorely lacking, but I couldn't sleep much as the bed was small and of course, both dogs HAD to be on it. I was planning on doing a lot of stuff on my iBook once I got there, and if not that, a lot of reading. I didn't do anything except lie in bed, watch CNN and go to the bathroom. And of course I'm not getting much done today. It's hard just to type this when you know any minute you'll have to make a run...

Sometimes life just isn't much fun.
