Lazy with a Purpose

So when I went to bed last night I had a stomach cramp.  I assumed that it was because I ate an ENTIRE PINT OF MAPLE GINGERSNAP GELATO in one sitting.  I mean, that makes sense, right?  I would even say I deserve that one.  "Wanna be a glutton, ok, here's some stomach cramps for ya!"  I figured I'd go to bed, wake up in the morning, and feel totally fine.  That's what usually happens.  Well, not today.  Today I woke up and it was worse.  Like, there's an alien in my belly and it wants to get out, worse.  To my knowledge I ingested no aliens.  They certainly weren't in my gelato.  Perhaps they were hiding my pesto tortellini.  Maybe they should put a warning on the box, you know, like under the "WARNING: MAY CONTAIN PEANUTS."  Put one right below that that says, "WARNING: MAY CONTAIN ALIENS."  Then at least I'd know, ya know?  But no, here I am, tummy cramps and all, being slightly but not quite miserable.  I told my mother about this, and apparently stomach pain has been a common flu symptom.  No nausea, just pain.  Check.  I will just put this out there, that I haven't gotten the flu in years, nor have I gotten a flu shot in years.  Mom said, "Well, people who never get the flu are catching the swine flu this time."  Great.  My mother is nurse, just FYI, so she's not just feeding me stories.  My temperature is also below normal....weird...I'm sitting at a cool 97 degrees.  Other than the alien in my belly though, I feel alright.  I was told it could "possibly" be the flu, and just to chill in bed today.  Stay in bed and be lazy?  Check.  I'm all over that one.  So I here I sit, with the possibility of having the flu, being lazy in bed.  Hey, at least it gives me time to work on NaNoWriMo.
