Dang, this flu has kicked my arse. I would have been on sooner to let everyone know I was OK but I slept 16 hours straight, without getting up even once!
Huge, amorous, mad props go out to D for bringing me the following yesterday afternoon:
1) medicine to help stop me from throwing up (it was cherry flavored kids medicine laced with sugar, but it seemed to do the trick)
2) medicine to completely knock me out - for 16 hours! He thought it would be a 6 hour sleep, but he was off by 10 hours ;)
3) medicine to help with the body aches and head aches (which I will promptly be taking after I finish this update)
4) medicine to break the fever I was running
5) saltine crackers - which I've officially eaten 5 of since 5 am this morning
6) white soda
7) chicken soup, which I will promptly eat as soon as my appetite finds its way home - not nearly as good as Debbie's homemade variety, but it's still soup
I'm headed back to bed now. Thanks to everyone for the concern!

Concern
The newspaper calls this the Norwalk virus, or norovirus. School was scrubbed down after nearly A local school reported 100 students were absent with the gastrointestinal bug. A thorough scrub- down was done, followed by another thorough wash with a bleach solution to control the spread of the virus. The virus spreads quickly and has a short time between exposure and when symptoms hit. Norwalk virus is often transmitted through food. Undercooking shellfish or not washing raw vegetables well before eating are to main causes.
