Well, I gotta say that this hasn't been my best week ever. After coming back from Lancaster Sunday night, I started feeling a lot of tightness in my sides. I told Yogurl I had a bad feeling in my stomach. Sure enough I started throwing up just past midnight. At least there was plenty of dry heaving involved. The next day I got dressed and had Yogurl take me to medical so I could get a SIQ (Sick in Quarters) chit to turn into work. They took my blood pressure lying down, sitting up, and standing, in order to determine if I was dehydrated from having the flu. After getting results that they couldn't make sense of, they decided I was dehydrated anyway, and gave me a liter of fluid through an IV. That was pretty cool, even though Yogurl got pretty nervous sitting in the waiting room for two hours. After that they sent me home with some Pink Bismuth and said not to work until Wednesday. Yeah, free days off! Then Wednesday, I was feeling mostly all better until late in the evening when my throat started feeling sore and my nose started running. I guess I should be happy that I got my bi-annual flu and my semi-annual cold done in the same week, but it hasn't been very fun.

Those are just the starts of my depressing week, though. I bought an electric bicycle motor off E-bay, and it finally showed up. I figured that if I had a motor that would give me a pretty good boost, I could ride to work and home everyday, and save on gas and save on buying another car if Yogurl ends up needing the car for work. Well, on the ebay description, it said that this motor could go 15MPH without pedalling assistance. Then when I was installing it, I saw in the manual that it only really can go 12MPH. When I took it for a test drive, I found out it goes about 6MPH. Man did that ruin my day. I felt like my Little Orphan Annie decoder ring had really let me down.
Yogurl taught her Sunday school class for the first time today. I went in to support her, and also secretly I was planning on head-butting any of the teenage boys that stepped out of line. Imagine my surprise when the boys were all well behaved and the girls just wouldn't shut-up. Well, I just couldn't bring myself to yell at a little girl, so I guess Yogurl will have to learn how to handle them herself. The lesson went well, except that the kids had no idea how to read with the JST footnotes, and that the girls had to constantly be called away from their private discussions. They all seem nice, though. I just feel bad that Yogurl is the one with this calling when I'm the one who deserves the retribution for not paying attention in Sunday school. I'm sure my time will come.
We got to see Bridge to Tierra Bonita, er Terror Bifida, er Teribithia? on Saturday. They had a free early showing of it on base. I thought it was really good. Yogurl really liked it except that she cried like her favorite dog had just been run over right in front of her. It was really sad. For those who have not read the book already, I won't ruin the ending by saying that the girl dies. That would be mean to say.
I guess that's it for this week.

A bicycle motor?! I thought you were a marine! I'm totally joking! That stinks when you buy something you can't return and it turns out way lame. Bummer. And bummer about the sickies. Yuck, but I'm gad Yogurl is there to take care of you. :)
