House arrest

I'm convinced we have the best deal going. We are staying at the Kabuki Hotel in the Japan Town neighborhood of San Francisco. We had booked a room at $90 a night, only to be voluntarily upgraded to a palatial room upon checking in. It's huge with a king-size bed, a chaise lounge, and a whirlpool bathtub. Did we get it because my husband mentioned the one reported occurrence of bedbugs? We'll probably never know.

Tonight I'm tucked into this room as I try to shake some bug I woke up with. It's a yucky stomach bug, which I initially attributed to food poisoning, but we had all eaten the same thing and I was the only one staying close to the bathroom.

I did manage to spend some time with a friend today, but my appetite and my energy had deserted me.

After dealing with MUNI and BART for what seemed like hours, I came back to our room in Hotel Kabuki, where I crashed. I'm sipping Sprite and waiting for Chinese takeout of broth and rice.

I'm really hopeful this is a 24-hour virus so that I can head off to Mendocino tomorrow with renewed appetite and energy.
