Today in fire camp I got sick---kind of a flu and I have tossed my cookies many times. Think about how bad that would be if you had to upchuck in one of the standard blue outhouses filled with blue water----now you've thought about that it is never going to happen to me as long as there is land outside the hut but that doesn't make me feel a lot better.
I am now in the recovery mode and will be fine. This is the very first time I have been really sick in fire camp---Inklings thinks these things are happening because I am too old.....she might be right....but I don't plan to quit the team anytime in the near future. YUP Native Minnow is right I do love doing this stuff.
Some say the world will end with fire.
Others say with ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those that favor fire.
But if I had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate,
To say that for destruction ice,
Is also great and would suffice.

Ugh..I hope you get feeling better soon!
I am good to go now---I usually don't stay sick for more than a few hours
I was going to say...there's no way I would ever, ever throw up in an outhouse. I'd throw up in a garbage can first. :) It sucks to be sick, I hope you stay feeling better. Sad we missed you on our trip!
*L*
I would throw up outside first, too. Or in a garbage sack. Never in an outhouse. :)
Glad you are feeling better, hope you are taking pictures to post
No Pictures---not smart enough to download them
maybe it was just a touch of food poisoning or something - glad you are feelin' better!
