bad start to the new year

Well, let's all be thankful I'm not superstitious, because I started out the new year with unidentified illness which involved fever and vomiting. Ugh.

I feel pretty much better today, but took another day off work for recovery. I'm still exhausted. I went to bed early and still slept 3 hours later than usual. And right now I'm limiting my diet to oatmeal - I'm still a little leery of anything more interesting.

And I discovered the interesting fact that Pepto-Bismal can turn your tongue black - very disconcerting if you didn't know in advance.
