My 2-year-old brought home a stomach virus last week and gave it to me (it's nice to know they teach her how to share at her very expensive day care). I got a ride home from my wife on Thursday, threw up less than an hour after getting home, and , um, "had the runs" until yesterday. By Sunday it had become so bad that my wife took me to urgent care where they pumped 2 bags of IV fluids into me.

All of this is to explain why I drove yesterday. I rode today but I still don't have anything like my normal energy. I'm still dehydrated and I've lost about 5 pounds since last week (5 pounds I really couldn't afford to lose). Not sure if I'll ride tomorrow and Friday, as the weather is supposed to get pretty bad and I'm obviously still recovering.
