Location: West Norwalk, CT
As you may have read in Julia’s post, 10 out of the 13 people who were at my house for Christmas Eve are now sick with a stomach bug. We’ve been trying to track down the cause, which has been narrowed down to two possible sources: my little cousin, John, who was just getting over an illness, or some hand-made chocolates from my Aunt Mary. Either way, just about everyone who was at my house feels rotten right now. As a result, our flight to Tulsa was moved from today at 5:30 p.m. to tomorrow at 2 p.m. We arrive in Tulsa at around 8 p.m., two hours after the veterinary clinic where Data has been boarding is set to close. Julia’s parents have offered to make reservations for us at a hotel in Tulsa for Thursday night and we will retrieve Data on Friday before moving on into Arkansas.
As for today, Julia will stay in bed as long as necessary. If she is feeling up to it, we will head back to West Suffield tonight, which will shorten the commute to the airport tomorrow by 80 minutes. Hopefully this illness will clear up soon!
Yikes!! I hope you and your family feel better soon!
