Today, remembering that a light bulb needed to be replaced in my desk lamp, I web-formed a request for the new bulb.
Don't we live in wonderful times?

For the last three days, my youngest son has been complaining that his stomach hurt. He had a loss of apatite. As I was typing this entry, my wife called for me and I spent the next hour cleaning vomit. My son got very sick. My wife tells me that children have been going home early from the school that she works at. They have had the same symptoms.
This sucks!
Well, maybe not. The light bulb still had not been changed by the end of the day Friday. Of course the form warns users that a 48 hour lead time is required, and only 24 hours had transpired. I understand. Sometimes it takes me two days (or even more) after noticing that a light bulb needs to be changed before I can mobilize myself to get it.
Re your gut pain, it sounds like an old fashioned virus. In your case, it simply did not lead to vomiting. I think it's virtually impossible to tell the difference between stomach viruses and flare-ups from our more serious conditions. And that is really annoying.
Unless this year's campus budget included two light bulbs for our office, I doubt that, "We" can afford this. Sorry, you might have to wait until next year...
