Haven't done much.

I've been sick since Tuesday night. I'd felt all right up in the attic, just tired by the time I finished. I made something to eat and went to bed early. A few hours later I was in the bathroom throwing up.

That was pretty much the next two days. I'd get back into the sleeping bag, doze for a while, then have to get up again. After a bit I stopped bothering to turn the bedroom light off. I put a bucket beside the mattress, which was useful more often than I'd like to admit.

I thought about going back to my old place. I even got dressed at one point, but I had to sit down on the floor halfway through putting my shoes on. There was no way I was getting downstairs and driving anywhere. So I stayed here.

I don't know what caused it. Something I ate, or a bug I picked up in town. I haven't had the energy to give it much thought. For most of yesterday I couldn't keep water down for long, and the smell of the kitchen made me turn around before I'd even opened the refrigerator.

It's eased off today. I've managed some water and a piece of dry toast, and they've stayed down so far. My stomach hurts from being sick and I feel weak just walking between rooms. I'm leaving the work alone until I've eaten properly and had some sleep.

The tape measure is still on the kitchen table where I left it. I never got back up into the attic.
