It all started with a headache and fever on Saturday evening.
But by Sunday morning the virus had already affected my digestive system.
The doctor ordered me not to eat anything at all on Monday. I was only allowed to drink water, and a lot of it. By Tuesday I could start eating some rice and yogurts.
I lost 2 kilos in 4 days.
But I'm feeling better now, and can start eating normal again.
And feeling better means having to go back to work. So Mónica is probably feeling very alone today, after we have been together all the time for a couple of days.
I noticed today that yesterday was Groundhog day. People who have seen the movie 'Groundhog day' know what I'm talking about, the others have to run to the local video store and rent it.
What many people don't know, is that the event with Punxatawney Phil in the movie actually takes place every year on the 2nd of february.
And since the success of the movie, the place gets thousands of visitors every year.
On February 2, groundhog Phil comes out of his burrow on Gobbler's Knob - in front of thousands of followers from all over the world - to predict the weather for the rest of winter.
According to the legend, if Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter weather. If he does not see his shadow, there will be an early spring.

Glad to hear that Monica took such good care of you. Yes I don't doubt that she will feel lonely now.
Don't worry about the two kilos, they are back in no time, it's just water you lost.
I love that movie, one of Murray's best movies.
Hey, I thought that was done with hedgehogs... Ik heb er vorig jaar bij engels nog een spreekbeurt moeten over geven :-|
Oh, en kben content da ge u al wa beter voelt ;-)

I normally don't have a problem with losing weight. Just letting the coca-cola aside for a few days does the trick. But gaining weight is more dificult for me. Yes, envy me. I can eat whatever I want.
I never heard that they did this with hedgehogs, Lien, but I'm not a specialist. En merciekes.
