Christmas Crud of 2005

In college, we called it the "campus crud." You know it - the flu that everyone seemed to get in the winter, and just pass around to one another. Well, it's baaaack, and I've dubbed it the Christmas Crud of 2005. Last week my husband had it. A nasty uninvited houseguest of the stomach flu variety. I washed sheets, and bathroom rugs, scrubbed toilets, disinfected surfaces, took my vitamin C, and hoped for the best. All for nothing, because at 2:00 a.m. on Tuesday morning, I woke to stomach cramps, night sweats, and you don't want to know what else. Blech.

Needless to say, I called off work Tuesday, dragged myself back to work on Wednesday, and am starting to eat a bit more today. I hope that is the last I see of the Crud until next Christmas!!

Aside from my stomach, the Crud wreaked havoc on my workouts this week. Not much to report, although I did get in a 4 mile run on Monday and 3 mile run in this evening before the snow hits. Pathetic.

And did I mention that I have yet to start Christmas shopping?
