Well, at least the timing was good...

willow_redThe snow outside is about chest-deep on Akito, or at least it was the last time he was outside, bounding around in it.
I stayed home from work for multiple reasons today. By now, if you haven't been under a rock or on a different continent, you've probably heard about the now-infamous Chanukah blizzard of 2006.
Anyway, I headed home early from work yesterday due to a nice little case of food poisoning. For those of you who might not have known this, the orange-cheesy-powder stuff in mac'n'cheese can actually go bad. So after voiding most of my lunch mid-afternoon at work, I decided to head home. It took over two hours (compared to the usual 45 min - 1 hour) as I had to keep pulling off to the side of the road to fill a plastic bag, if you catch my drift.

j_b is now one of my favorite people, since he came over and helped me feed Akito last night. I really couldn't stand the smell of dog food at that point, so my poor pup would have starved without his help. He stuck around for a couple of hours and played with Akito, who had missed his walk for the last couple of days (now today too, due to sickness and snow). j_b even went to the grocery store and picked up some more Chanukah candles for me, as I had run out.
Around 5am, I regained the ability to hold down water and tea, and am now back on bland, solid foods. I didn't get any work done today, but I'm going to try to do some tomorrow so I don't have to nuke all my vacation time this week. Either way, I'm trying to figure out how to not go to work again for the rest of the week so I can fully recover and not go sliding in the snow.

You too?
