Plague

I'm sure it's a total coincidence that within 12 hours of the worm pancake incident, I became extremely ill.

Like "someone please kill me now"sick.

Not that having a flu-like illness is ever convenient, but I was supposed to be interviewing with a new court reporting agency at 11 on Monday morning...and at 5 a.m., I was hugging a toilet bowl.  I'm sure that calling in sick for the interview doesn't give the greatest first impression.

Oh, and why is it that when mom gets sick, she can't have the day off to recuperate, but when dad has the sniffles, the poor dear needs a week off from work?

Just sayin'.
