I am thankful for the Tweets and even phone calls I got during the day asking, “Where are you? You haven’t posted today.” ‘Thankful’, even if it does put the pressure on me a little.

But to explain, this time last night I was vomiting, and all today I have been in bed with a gurgling stomach and migraine, sleeping.

See? To prove I’m looking shocking here’s a picture of me off the webcam from seconds ago:

poor, sick me

Sexy, no? *snort*

Now it’s 10.30pm and Adam’s in bed coughing and shivering, coming down with pretty much the same thing. At least we get sick at different times. God isn’t so cruel as to strike us down together.

Cross your fingers for us, okay? We’re supposed to be going to see Star Trek tomorrow. I guess we could still go if we take a spew bucket along. I’m sure that will go down a treat.
