*curls up*
Feb. 26th, 2017 09:01 pmI appear to have contracted a case of gastro, which sucks. I've had to call in sick to work tomorrow, because small call centre + being short-staffed + gastro = keep your germs at home.
I hope I didn't accidentally infect everyone at Meeting, because I was feeling okay when I went earlier today. I nearly didn't go this morning, but only because I felt tired and didn't particularly feel like moving, but I figured that was just the inertia talking. Anyway, I'm glad I did go: it was nice to sit quietly in Meeting without being responsible for the children for once, and I reconnected with a bunch of Quakers I hadn't seen in a while. The Quaker Book Service is shutting down at the end of the year, so they're having a fire sale until then, liquidating all their stock, which means I scored a bunch of cheap books today. I also managed to recover the measuring cup and the egg beaters I'd forgotten there the last time I made cookies with the children.
I drove a Friend home after Meeting, then came home and was delighted to find out that my friend S.'s computer was finally fixed (it's been on the blink since early February), so we jumped online to play 7 Days to Die, whereupon I promptly started feeling sick to my stomach. Stupid gastro. I took a nap, and am feeling marginally better, but I don't think it will last.
So I took a nap, then wrangled my parents over Skype, which was a bit of an adventure. My father is still in Vietnam, and so trying to explain to them how to have a multiple-person conversation was... tricky. We managed it for about a minute, and then they both panicked about it, and I had to agree to talk to them individually over Skype once they were done talking to each other. It was kind of adorable. XD
That's it for me. I'm off to watch The Lost World until I'm tired enough to go back to bed.
