Man v. Food might not have been the best choice

After having the 360 for over a year I finally broke down and bought one of those wireless gizmos that puts it online.

Why?

So I can watch Netflix in my room. :B

Which was a good thing, considering that the next day I came down with the stomach virus from hell and spent the rest of the week stretched out in bed watching stuff from Netflix's Instant Watch selection.

I started off watching episodes of Adam Richman nosh his way through 5 bowls of fire chili and while I did squirm a bit I didn't get the queasies until he was half-way through a second chili eating episode (the one where he ate like 3 lbs of chili on a cheeseburger, another 3 lbs on a plate of fries, and a big ass milk shake).

It was at that juncture that I decided to switch over to something a little less nauseating.

Dirty Jobs.

... don't judge me.


Anyway, update on mom:
Her results are in and everything is normal. As for the bruising and dry skin.. we still don't know. She's found an iron pill that is small, potent, and is slow release. She's also started taking children's gummy vitamins which seem to agree with her more.

I didn't want to be left out so I bought some kiddie vitamins of my own (superhero ones, if anyone was curious) and also picked up this new and special iron pill. So far I have found it to be more agreeable than the previous tablets. In the end it might cost more, but at least we're getting our vitamins.

As for me, I am feeling better. I went out of the house today, only got marginally tired (and grumpy) and managed to eat 3 inches of a 4 inch sandwich. So far nothing has tried to make a hasty exit.

I would just like to say I appreciate everyone's concern and well wishes, I really wasn't expecting so many people to ask how I was doing, I was touched. Thank you guys.
