Sorry for the language, but fucking hell. I would really appreciate if this freaking stomach bug or whatever the hell it is would leave me alone already. I felt perfectly fine - downright perky, in fact - this morning, and while waiting for the bus I had stomach-ache and a little dizziness. No big, right? I figured I was just hungry and still waking up, or that it'd go away, or at least that once I got to work I could take something. But then on my fifteen minute bus ride I felt badly enough that I really thought I was going to pass out right there and then. Thought I'd be all right again once I got off the bus (it was crowded, and I was stuck standing - or, for most of the ride, crouchingm because I felt so light-headed... which I have to say was embarrassing), and for a minute I was right, but it turned out that waiting for the light to turn was just a teeny bit too much for me, apparently, and I started to feel dizzy again.

So I kind of panicked. Turned around, caught the nearest bus back to Greenlake, and here I am - including a stop at the store for saltines and tonic water I was home by 9am. Currently ensconced on the couch feeling nauseated and sorry for myself, and damned pissed off. It's a gorgeous day, but I'm stuck in the apartment feeling sick, and even if I felt better I'd feel guilty, because it was probably stupid not to just go on to work. I can sit on my butt just as well at work as at home, but the nausea and dizziness scared me. I hate being sick if it's not something I can immediately identify, and this thing is way too on-and-off and erratic for my tastes.

You know, it's odd...I had this exact same thing on Monday and Tuesday, and my mother reported that she and my sister had much the same thing on the weekend. No symptoms beyond an upset, queasy stomach and dizziness/light-headedness, that passes after a couple days. I call that downright peculiar.

...So it is a virus! Because this is the freaking third day that I've been taken down with it, each time with a gap - I was starting to think I was showing up with some kind of really weird recurrent malady that wasn't going to go away, but if other people are turning up with the same thing...

Okay, this... is somewhat optimistic. We just all need to get rid of it for real, rather than doing this damned "on again off again" thing that I've had going on. :P

...Did you or your sister go to Norwescon this year? Because all my problems seemed to start there, and my roommate was sick for a bit after that, too.

I didn't go to Norwescon, and I'm willing to bet my sister didn't either. But either of us could easily come in contact with people who did. It's a mystery.

Hmm. It is, it is. Well, whatever it is, I hope your family stays well! Whatever this thing is, it just keeps coming back and hitting me again. :P
