As the con crud rolls along

I thought I had dodged it this time. But yesterday at work I began to feel worse and worse (thank Halford I have the sense to keep a small bottle of Pepto-Bismol in my lunch cooler) and by the time I rolled back in, I was.. desperate for a restroom.

This morning, things ain't much better, so I'm taking the day. Need to do some laundry and, if I'm up for it, a run to the store and refuel Darby.

oh ugh. I had hoped I was one of only a few. Sorry to hear you've joined our ranks (I think one or two other friends of mine got it too)

Shove 2,000 people from across the state (and beyond) into the same close quarters for a long weekend, and viruses will make the rounds. I'm just annoyed because normally it's something I can work through.

nod. I think I might have made myself semi-vulnerable with yelling at Rocky Horror. My throat started having problems after that.

So this is Con Crud

We've been doing BayCon since the early 90s and this is the first we've had the notorious bug. Wit a vengence. I spent yesterday running, and medicating. Now I'm multi drained. Carolhas it today. No wonder peole look older each year at the con, it's the bug. [time has nothing to do withit. natch]

I hope you're well enough to get back on the trading lanes tomorrow. I just have to sit at a desk, and hope I don't need to use the wastebasket.

A hundred thousand thanks

This has helped me. As I trot to the head I can think of the Mark-X model flying robot penguin with laser eyes and about 500 feet long. Oh, yeah!
