Not that, please not that

A friend rang me this afternoon and I was telling her how I was feeling. And she said there is a tummy thing going round, virus, you know gastro. God I hate that so much I don't even want to say the word. And this conversation happened about half an hour after Lily complaining, non stop, of having a sore tummy. My friend said it's a 24 hour thing, full on while you've got it. And the thing that sucks is one of the little girls who was around her last Wednesday for a playdate starting vomitting afterwards and continued to do so through the weekend. Could we have caught it from her? How long does it take to show up? I still feel lethargic and gross, with a sore tummy.

I nearly fell asleep on the couch this afternoon (Charlotte refused to settle for her nap so was up playing...it's been the norm since she became sick. Although she did have a nearly 3 hour sleep yesterday which is unheard of for her). The phone rang (another order for Thursday) and it spurred me on to go to the AWC Xmas Party. I'm glad I went...the place was beautifully decorated and the food looked great. Marie had gone to a lot of effort. People had their savoury plates (individual nibblies) and the dessert plates were still in the kitchen. They looked really good. The feedback was excellent. I didn't stay long because I felt unwell, plus I was illegally parked. But long enough to chat to a few women and hang out in the kitchen for a bit with Marie. Also got to meet Jyotika, the woman Marie says is interested in joining us to talk about possible catering jobs. That will happen in January. Todays effort looked very professional, which was a good start.
