“I’m one stomach flu away from my perfect weight”

The women in The Devil Wears Prada would be jealous because I don’t think I’ve ever lost so much weight in so little time. On my second day here I caught a nasty stomach virus that wiped me out for two days. I spent an entire day and a half sleeping in bed, and another half day washing artifacts and bones at the lab because I wasn’t up for going back to the excavation. Luckily, tomorrow is our day off. What’s hilarious about this is that I’ve never caught anything in Kenya, Ethiopia, or South Africa, but I come to Bordeaux to excavate and get an intestinal virus that knocks me out for two days. Personally, I think that I was so strung out before leaving DC that my body rebelled in a major way as soon as it could get some down time.
