Travelogue, Part the Third: I've Killed My Parents?



What a trip so far!
First day: arrival and pizza, plus helped prep for the big party..
Second day: picked up The Other Half, helped prep the manse for the big party.
Third day: sickest day of my life. The Other Half works in my stead. Big pizza & beer night w/family sadly spoiled.

Fourth day: sickness continued, party ensued anyway.

Fifth day: Rain turned to snow, briefly to blizzard. Had to take The Other Half to the airport in the worst of it. Sickness abated simultaneously--thank goodness--but I had to resurrect my "driving in snow" skills from 1-1/2 decades ago. Drank a quart of Gatorade, and suddenly feel just fine. Arrive at parents' house after hours driving in snow to find. . .
My parents have the same illness I just climbed out of! Both are solidly down for the count, as is my sister. I have a very small family, but seem to have taken three of them out. Oy. Only one day to go!

  1. No, just explosive diarrhea, projectile vomiting, 102-fever, body aches and chills. If you asked them, I'm sure they'd have rather been gay for a couple of days! Oh, and we can add my brother and my brother-in-law to the list of the infected. . .
