Alas, Romilly’s stomach bug found its way to me, and I spent the last two days feeling really, really awful. Lots of fun.

You know, some people pay good money to have their systems flushed. Idiots, I say. Just get yourself really sick. You don’t need water! Water is for weaklings!

Okay, I give in. I really like water. A lot.

The old saying, “you don’t know what you’ve got `til it’s gone,” has never been more true. Actually, I think that saying sums up my whole year.
