Big John and I did get out for our hour five dollar shakes last night (in fact closer to $6) and, damn, they were good!
It was good to catch up with him as we have not seen each other for a few months. My regards to his wife 15-0.
One of the things that we chatted about is that he goes away with his family every weekend during the summer holiday, which I think is a great idea and also quite admirable. It's good to be different and I haven't heard before of someone doing that.
I had planned today as a sick day to ensure that I am not overdoing it. I will be back in the office tomorrow and Wednesday.
Occasionally, I suffer from short bouts of sickness but these are manageable and usually at home. They are rather unpleasant because nothing much goes down my oesophagus so, by the same token, nothing much can come up. This makes the whole experience very difficult and convulsive. This sometimes occurs soon after eating and I was unfortunate enough to get caught out this morning when I was out.
Hanging on to a park railing whilst on your haunches wretching is a stark reminder of illness. Its legacy is that I have felt unwell all day since.
The whole process of avoiding these moments is to try and keep everything in balance and as simple as possible and I simply ventured out too soon after breakfast.
So a day taken off to avoid feeling ill has made me ill!
