And Now the Artist Has It

The stomach bug has now made the entire rounds of the house. The Artist started throwing up last night, and I don’t know anyone who hates throwing up more than he does. The hall bathroom is a pretty foul place right now; Alpha Geek made an effort to clean it up a little, but he’s still not 100% and couldn’t really scrub it as it needs. It will probably be a few more days before anyone is up to cleaning it properly.

The Director and I have improved a little; he was able to keep down some cereal this morning, and I’m no longer too nauseous to drink anything. Don’t know if I’ll be able to take the test tomorrow, though.

Right now the Artist is in his room, probably sleeping. The Director is watching DVDs in the living room. I’m sitting on my bed, where I’ve been since yesterday morning, because it’s only three running steps to the master bathroom. I’m amazed I have anything left in my digestive system to expel.

Duchess is hanging out on the bed with me. She’s not an empath like Charlie, she’s just lonely and doesn’t understand why no one will play with her.

Saturday night, Alpha Geek returned from a trip to Nashville. He brought back seminar pamphlets, promotional freebies, and a wicked stomach bug. He’s been pretty miserable for the last couple of days, but now seems to have gotten on top of it.

This morning the Director and I woke up with it. Good times.

Of course, today is the day my paper is due. She will not take an e-mail copy. She will not take it after the end of today’s class. I asked Alpha Geek to drive it out there and turn it in for me.

There’s also a test Thursday, which I haven’t studied for nearly as much as I’d like because I was banging away at the damn paper. The timing of this bug is very inconvenient.

The history paper from hell is finished. It’s ugly, I’m not proud of it, but I’m so sick of fucking with it I don’t even care. It should get at least a C, and my other grades should pull me up to a B.

Now I’m going to go play World of Warcraft.
