Food Poisoning
I am pretty sure it was the raisin pie I had in Greece. I thought I had made it through this year without any problems but it started to hit me last night, shortly after I posted my blog entry. Yep... "stomach issues". Nothing major I am sure but I am having some fever spikes and stomach cramps. About once every 5 years or so, I end up eating something that has "gone bad" during my Christmas Eve travels and I find myself with a bout of mild food poisoning. Frankly, I am a little surprised I don't end up with it every year. Don't worry though, I am drinking plenty of fluids and following doctors' orders.
The silver lining is that its a good excuse for laying on the couch all day. I've been able to do nothing but read the papers, watch TV, surf the internet, email & text old friends, and catch up on my sleep. Not a bad day from that perspective. As long as I'm healthy in time for Mrs. Claus & I to leave on our annual Hawaii vacation in a couple of days, I am not going to worry about it or complain.
My energy is dropping a little so I'm going to cut this short for now. Wishing you a safe and HEALTHY new year!

Cool blog!! Very topical and well thought out!
But think Santa, after all this, you will be in the Hawaiian Islands. I am originally from Maui, and nothing cures the soul like a little R& R after the holidays. I'm thinking, stomach flu due to stress.
By the way, I hail from Shimelle's Christmas Journal class that comes around every year & have a prompt, imagine you are 8, write a letter to Santa. . .http://brozatti.blogspot.com/
I didn't mean to sketch you to look like Gandalf! Happy Holidays to you and Mrs. Claus, Rest up, we have to do this again, next year. . .& the next. . .
Santa, it could be Christmas stress, too much to do & too little time. Just think, Hawaiian Islands, R&R. I am from Maui, there are some sweet beach spots just to look out to ocean & sky blues!
