Prolonged Absence

Oh dear. So much to write about. But unfortunately, my tummy has decided to hate me. I woke up at 2 am and in the back of my brain I knew that something was wrong. I tossed and turned for a little bit, and then by 3 am I literally had to sprint out of bed into the bathroom, and stayed there for hours.

I called in sick. I never call in sick.

Of course, I turned on the computer and worked from bed when I could. Eventually I turned off the computer and took what my mom calls "a nice long nap". Penny and I just curled up and felt sorry for ourselves.

By 5 I was semi human, I called mom and requested some sympathy. She happily gave me some.

Sooo, enough complaining.

Things that have made me happy in the last week:
Watching the sunset at the Phoenix airport. I started taking pictures by the windown and had two people join me. I sat down and the woman behind me commented that the sunset was the reason she lived in Phoenix. I kind of get it.

Taking off to Seattle and spending the weekend with Kristine.

Dinner at Black Bottle last Friday night. Especially the pork belly and kim chi tapas.

Deep fried cheese curds at Steelhead diner.

Obtaining a copy of the New Moon and devoring it on the plane back to Dallas.

Ok, I shouldn't have mentioned food. But food is my life. Victoria with a bad tummy is like a day without sunshine.
