I went to work, mostly because I was going stir-crazy. I warned everyone to stay away from me and had a pretty quiet shift, although I still didn't really feel ready to eat 'normal' food — just rice and lentils and applesauce.

I stayed home again, because although I felt mostly better, I was still weak from not eating (and probably still contagious). I ate some toast and peanut butter with banana, some applesauce, some rice. No coffee, as badly as I wanted some. Jeff had the day off so we spent the evening watching Inglourious Basterds together.

I went to bed early, feeling sick to my stomach. Woke up around midnight or so and, realising I had only seconds before vomiting, I got up and someone was in the bathroom so I had to barf in the sink. :( I settled myself in for a long night of what I first thought was food poisoning, but after reading facebook at 3am and discovering that Iain and Steph were sick as well, was revealed to be the norovirus that had been going around. We figured someone working at the Warehouse on Saturday night must have been contagious, because no one else we were with that night or weekend got sick.

I slept very little; some on the bathroom floor, some in the armchair in my computer room next to the bathroom, and sometime around 8am my body hurt so much that I had to go to bed (after calling in to work). I was dying of thirst but too afraid to drink. Thankfully the worst seemed to be over by noon, but I didn't feel well enough or hungry enough to eat anything until around 9pm when I had a cup of black tea and a little chunk of French bread. I spent most of the day sleeping, reading, and watching Road to Perdition, a movie I adore and always seem to watch when I'm home sick.

In the afternoon, I went with Iain, Steph, and Jesse to see The Hobbit. I was a little surprised by how much I liked it (after hearing people complain about how unnecessarily long and silly it was) and how much I remembered even without having read the book in at least fifteen years. Jesse left to meet a friend afterwards, so the three of us went for a quick dinner at the Warehouse before heading to Tap & Barrel to meet up with Jeff and my parents. The above photo was taken there, while we happily chatted and drank beer & wine, snacking on deep-fried pickles.

I got mildly drunk by myself and decided to buy a 2013 calendar. Of course that resulted in me spending $80 on amazon.ca. Whoops.

morning fog.

Quite pleased with this, chapped lips and all.

The fog has been thick. When this photo was taken, the houses just across the street were barely visible.
