Some kind of stomach thing

Ya the rumors are true, we got sick.

First it was Steph. She had eaten some kind of escargot at Wednesday's school lunch. We thought, "Surely, it was the snails..." I took half a day of sick leave to stay with my beautiful bride on Thursday. She started to feel better so I went in for some needed curriculum outlining.

Friday morning was much sunnier, literally and figuratively. We both skipped off to school. But then it hit me.

Guess it was not a food thing after all. I get talked into seeing the school nurse. Naturally I have visions of Eastern Medicine, needles and weird suction cups all over my body, "These will re-direct your chi and drive the evil stomach spirits out of you!" (read in a Chinese accent)

A simple pill and some carbonated tonic later I get the further bad news from Steph via beloved Google Chat, she is relapsing. Dang.

So here I am back at home, another half day of sick leave taken. Waiting for Steph to get back from her school so we can watch Friends in pain together.
