Ugh, what a day. I was halfway to work this morning when all of a sudden I was hit with a wall of nausea. I had to pull off to the side of the road and ride the wave for a few seconds. Once I regained control I turned around and headed back home. I've been fighting the same feeling of nausea (although a bit less than this morning's episode) and stomach cramps all day. Hopefully I'll be back to normal tomorrow because I really can't afford to be out of commission from work for another day, not when I'm in the middle of a project.

Anyway, not being able to move all morning/afternoon has allowed me to gather my thoughts on "The Deathly Hallows." I'll have to post them tomorrow, though, because I don't have the little menu of posting options on my screen here (a Mac thing, perhaps?) and want to post it in white text to blend in with the background. I don't want to spoil anyone, as I do still have a few friends who read this blog and who haven't yet finished the book.

Dad's 50th birthday is coming up, so I'll be hanging out with him, Diane, and my brothers this weekend to celebrate. I finally came up with a gift that I know he'll like, and I'll of course be playing up the fact he's turning 50. I made calls to the boys earlier to guage their interest in the idea, and I think we have a winner. They and Mom are coming up Friday evening for an all-you-can-eat crab fest in Valley Forge, so we'll have time to plot further then. :)

In the meantime, I'm going to finish watching Close Encounters of the Third Kind and see if I can keep some dinner down. One good thing about being sick is that it's a great excuse to lay around and do nothing but watch movies all day. So far I've watched Dirty Dancing, The Last Unicorn (both are favorite "sick movies" of mine), The Secret of Nimh, and now Close Encounters. Quite the spread, haha.
