Sick

Sorry for the silence. I'm sick. I seem to have picked up a big, bad stomach bug. Luckily, it hit on the first day of a long weekend, so I have time to recuperate.

My Chinese colleagues have gone out of their way to be helpful, bringing me a case of bottled water, two varieties of crackers, and four rolls of toilet paper. I've had six visitors and three phone calls inquiring about my health. Tonight, they're bringing me tea and apples, and if I'm up to it, tomorrow they'll take me out for soup. How's this for embarrassing: while the last two visitors were here, I had to excuse myself to be sick. Nice. Oh well. Nothing I can do about it. I'll feel better eventually, and when I do, I'll write more.
