Next!
Well, Christmas is over, and I hate to admit it, but I’m kind of glad. It wasn’t a great one. Between food poisoning and the stress of that on my family, it pretty much sucked. Don’t get me wrong. Christmas morning was pretty pleasant. I loved the gifts I received, and I am pleased to report that my parents enjoyed the gifts I got for them. But honestly, I don’t remember being sicker in my life. Food poisoning is something I’ve heard people talk about, but until I’d experienced it first-hand, I really didn’t fully understand how bad it could be. It was grim. Just grim. I spent yesterday in the E.R., and they definitely got it right. The antibiotics are completely helping. The course of my illness bumped up against the limits of the home doc (i.e., dad), so we had to do the wait-forever thing to get the right kinds of tests done. Please tell me how people managed without antibiotics? HOW?!
Here’s a nice scene from Christmas Day with me and my parents engaging in pretty typical parallel play:
Here’s me last night:
By “Next”, I mean let’s move on to the next holiday… get some distance between now and this Christmas thing. How about it?

It PAINS me to see you in that damn hospital bed. What do they have you on? Cipro? Flagyl? Glad you’re improving. I much prefer the Abby on the couch with her laptop in the company of her awesome parents. Hope New Year’s is better!
