[Note: This was meant to be my NaBloPoMo kickoff post, but it was only half-done when I got sick.]

I may be the slowest meme-follower* in the history of the interwebs. Jim tagged me weeks and weeks months ago, and this particular meme is the better part of a year old, I think, but I figured the first day of NaBloPoMo was as good a time as any to finally get around to posting my list. There’s no particular significance to these items, except that you probably don’t know them yet.

Well then. It seems I’ve missed the first day of NaBloPoMo. That’s unfortunate, but perhaps less unfortunate than the reason I wasn’t around, namely, that I have never been sicker in my life than I have been these last couple days.

I’ll spare you most of the details, but last night, after a day and a half of horrible dizziness and nausea, I ended up in the ER. I think I’m having a bad reaction to the hydrocodone the doctor prescribed me for pain. Even though I stopped taking the pills yesterday morning, I still felt like absolute shit today when I woke up, so I went to see my primary care doctor. They kept me there for 5 hours poking and prodding me, scanning my guts, and giving me more IV fluids. I got a shot in my butt*, yippee.
