Glad that's (mostly) over

drwexI had a bout of _something_ Sunday into Monday. It's Wednesday and I'm still not 100%.
I felt fine and ate normally Sunday. If what I had was bad food it was the leftovers I had for late-ish dinner on Sunday. I have made it a practice not to share food with the gamers on Sundays, so if what I had was noro I hope I didn't pass it on to anyone and I've no idea where I got it.
Anyway, Monday at 03:33 I woke up with that "uh oh" feeling. Bathroom... hmm, that wasn't too bad but man my guts are rumbling. Back to bed. Up again 03:58, back to bathroom. Right, we know how this goes. Check self for anaphylaxis signs, elevated temp - no and no. Take stomach meds anyway.
Dozed a bit off and on, two more bathroom trips by which point it's clear that either I ate something VERY bad or it's some form of noro. Monday is normally a busy day at work for me so I figure I'll try to work from home in the AM and see how I am in the PM. I got up and went to shepherd the kids so Pygment could get some more sleep.
Did I mention I was making decisions on about 3-4 hours of sleep? Ya, clever of me. Went back to bed about as soon as Pygment was up and could tag in to manage the kids. Set alarm for first work meeting, which I did dial in to and by the end of which it was clear I was not going to work. Postponed what I could, dialed in to what I couldn't. Slept as much as possible.
By Monday evening I was hungry again, usually a good sign. I managed a whole plain bagel Monday night, then fell over boom.
Tuesday I started off slowly and made it into work. Climbing the 50 stairs to my office felt too daunting so I rode the elevator but I did manage to go up and down a few flights during the day. With Pygment's encouragement I even went out Tuesday night, endured an hour of horrid traffic and two slices of mediocre pizza and got home without mishap.
So the whole thing was over faster than you'd expect for a virus, which reinforces my "bad leftovers" theory but man it's taken a lot out of me. 10:30 on Wednesday and I could use another nap, despite sleeping 7+ hours straight last night. (Thunderstorms? What thunderstorms?)
