Day one of March Break 2010

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Misc. life

It’s Monday. Weatherwise they’re calling for some lovely weather here in Ottawa.

Sadly, our break thus far has included two people with suspected cases of food poisoning (one mild and one not-so-mild), one viewing of the Aristocats, one long hot shower, one stack of laundry, and one quick bit of work. It’s hard to write when you’re feeling utterly drained.

Thank goodness for the large stack of books we picked up at the library yesterday.

And to think, it’s only 11:00 a.m.

How did you guys get food poisoning do you think?
There is a nasty stomach bug doing the rounds too apparently…..

I don’t think it’s a bug. Sarah and I both ate some chinese food (leftovers) for lunch on Sunday. She ate more than I did. She’s been sicker than I am. Mark and Emma are fine.

Yup, sounds like you are right. Now are you going to share where the food was from?!

Finola: I thought about it and I don’t want to out them here on the blog. I am not 100% sure the food was the reason behind our gastromalfunction. And since I’m not totally sure, it wouldn’t be fair … you know what I mean?

You are completely right, and I shouldn’t have asked. Food poisoning is also very hard to prove definitively.

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
