Why am I quoting Edgar Allan Poe? For 2 reasons! First of all, today is the bicentennial of Poe’s birth. He’s one of my favorite authors, and I never grow tired of his short stories (maybe a little of his poems – I’m not much of a poetry girl). So, happy birthday Edgar Allan Poe!
The other reason is because that is exactly how I feel. Late Saturday night/Sunday morning (around 4AM) I wound up in the hospital. It was either food poisoning or a really bad case of the stomach flu (which is what they are inclined to think it was). I didn’t get sick until 10PM, but I was so dehydrated by 4AM that I had to go to the hospital. They told me that technically, an adult shouldn’t be able to get as dehydrated as I got, so it’s a good thing I went!
Anyways, I never want to feel that way again. So – “Nevermore!”
