Calling in sick

I am in the merciless grip of a stomach bug so the first time that I can recall, I’m going to have to take a sick day. Try not to miss me too much.

  1. This is without precedent in all the years I’ve followed this blog. Please get well, we need you!

    Vale, Livius! Be well. Imperative mode. As a command

    Thank you for all you do for us through this blog. I’m not exaggerating that if we could bring to you what we could, you would be drowning in chicken soup.

  2. Rise, friend, rise again and take your rightful place near the altar, under the bridge, by the temple, over the hill, on the throne (!)….oh hell. Just keep fluid in (as above), and when you feel unchained from that porcelain (or what have you) throne, and the shakes and fevers wear off; get back to all of us! Yours, G 😉

  3. Oh dear me, the dreaded tummy bugs. I hate them.
    Take care, wrap up warm in front of the fire and watch T.V. There is bound to be some good programmes on to take your mind off it. Your brilliant posts will surely be missed.

  4. This was foretold. It is minor and will subside now. The guilt of calling in is what you are now feeling. Now what am I supposed to read about? I may be in a panic. I think I am sick now.

  5. Sorry to hear it. Get well soon!
    And now that I’m commenting anyway I’ll take the opportunity to thank you for your wonderful work on this blog; I’ve been following it for a while now and I absolutely love it!

  6. Please get well.
    I noticed you put this under the category of
    “Ex Cathedra” – “from the seat” or “from the chair”. Is this an indication of what is ailing you? It congers up visions of you enthroned upon a porcelain stool dispatching all in haste.

  7. Sorry to hear the news! Why do I suspect we’ll be seeing more medical and porcelain posts in the future? 🙂 Get better!

  8. Take care of yourself for as long as you need. We will miss you, but history will still be there when you feel better. i wou bring you tea and run to the drugstore for you if I could.
