the hebrew crackers were a bust

in a moment of what i am certain was hurried disorientation, michael accidentally went to the kosher market for me last night. you see, i've been waylayed with the stomach flu (left early from work yesterday after nearly passing out, and then have been home all day today), and he was going to rescue me by stopping by safeway and then bringing me ginger ale and saltines. unfortunately, all this kosher place had was some 'shop-rite' brand that, as it turned out, was past its expiration date by 3 months. normally, this might not bother me for something as non-perishable as soda crackers, but these were just stale and tasted a bit like their plastic wrapper.

eww.

i was still grateful for the supplies, though. and in fact, after his tai chi class, he went to the safeway and this time came loaded with even more stuff (real crackers included) for my very angry tummy.

and as if that weren't enough, he then went to salimah's place and bought her ice cream as a way of congratulating her for getting into grad school at hopkins. what a sweetheart.....then again, i knew that already;).

as for me, i feel icky still. not much has moved through my system in the last two days. in fact, mostly, it feels as though i have a huge lump in there somewhere. it's making me very tired and woozy, it hurts and frankly, i'm over it. not that i'd ever be into it, mind you, but this is just getting ridiculous.

i'm hoping that i will miraculously feel better tomorrow morning. if not, it's another day of waiting for things to work themselves out.

ick.

and yet, in the midst of it all, i'm so very, very grateful for what i've got in my life. or, should i say, whom....:)
