Happy Birthday to Me

I awakened at 1:45 to throw up again. Not exactly the birthday awakening I hoped for, but such is the plight!

Been spending a lot of time on the floor of the bathroom, marveling at how much my body seems to be turning in on itself. Creepy, and totally painful. It's been more than 24 hours of this - at what point do I become go-to-the-doctor concerned? I haven't had more than a slice of toast (made with love by nurse Steve) since last night - definitely not the KM norm.

The upshot is that I got some digital birthday greetings and a wonderful gift already! Kate sent me a gift certificate to Ummelina day spa - oh, how I wish I were there now. I can't wait to go after all this passes.

I was supposed to be at school today - I'm actually quite bummed to miss a full day class. Also concerned that I'm falling behind in everything. I didn't need any more time away from work or school work. Ugh.

What's the bright side of this? Looking, looking.
