Singing like he knows the score

Today didn't start out too badly. I mean, I didn't get to bed last night until after 1am and then this morning I was wide awake before 6am, but other than that, it was fine. Since I was awake, I got myself out of bed and ran around Green Lake a couple of times. I had no energy though. I went very slowly. It's interesting because all the rest of this week I've been posting some pretty awesome times (for me), then today was crap. But I did it, which is the most important part, I think. Anyway, I came home from that and then ran some errands downtown. You know those shoes I bought from REI on Saturday? Remember how they're red and I thought perhaps I was totally insane for buying red shoes? Well, I've changed my mind--I love those shoes! Besides, they're not really red, they're manzanita. Plus they're totally comfortable. Unfortunately they've given me one heck of a blister on the back of my right heel. So after running those errands I came home, ate lunch, and sat myself down on the couch and started reading HP5. I was there for maybe half an hour when all of a sudden I felt something lurch inside me. I leaped off the couch and ran for the bathroom but I wasn't able to make it the 20 or so feet there before being violently ill. It was disgusting and such a surprise! I wasn't feeling bad at all before and I hadn't eaten anything even remotely unusual. I don't know what the deal was. Anyway, after cleaning up the mess I'd made it happened again, although at least this time I made it to the bathroom in time. And after that I started feeling bad. Isn't that weird? It happened twice more and then there was basically nothing left inside me so it stopped, although I still felt horrible. But I went to work anyway, and I'm slowly starting to feel better. But what the heck happened? Man, I'm glad that happened before work and not during!
