I'm Back! Here's Why I Went Missing For A Few Days. It Ain't Pretty

A strange, intense bug has kept me away from this blog or the
past few days, but I'm finally starting to feel better, so 
hopefully I'll soon be releasing as many posts
as I usually do,   

 For the first time in many years I was too sick to post on this here blog thingy It's some sort of virus, apparently, but it was an immensely strange one.

It started Friday night. We'd gone to the Vermont Comedy Club and we had a great time. But toward the end of the night, my abdominal muscles were seizing up and spasming. Something was wrong.

This kind of thing happens to be occasionally once every few months  I call them stomach attacks. Usually, I have a rough night, and by the next day, everything is fine. 

Not this time. 

I ended up sleeping for nearly two days - right through Saturday and most of Sunday.  I didn't eat during that time either. 

The pain was weird. My stomach /hurt, which is what you'd expect  But my thighs were also quite painful.  And my nipples. I'm like, what the hell!   

The stomach pain has decreased in intensity and those other pains are gone. But now my lower back, right knee and of all things the big toe on my right foot hurts.

On the few occasions I got up my feet, I felt unsteady.  My surroundings felt muffled and blurry, as if I   was experiencing the world through a dirty window pane.,

Needless to say, my extreme fatigue and my inability to focus have kept me away from this blog. I am feeling somewhat better. At least I'm eating a little and am no longer in bed 24/7.  But I still much more than the eight hours of sleep I usually get. Since I'm not at full strength yet posts here might temporarily be less frequent than usual for awhile.

I'm seeing a physician tomorrow, so no need for any diagnosis from anybody 

I just really appreciate all my readers who have been patiently waiting for me to report on anything after all these days

I swear the next post will be about climate and weather,
