How lame am I?
So yesterday evening I was supposed to go over to my friend Katie's place for a nice quiet evening while Capt Mike was at a band practice in Ottawa. At about 2:30 pm, I got hit by a proverbial bus. All of a sudden I felt like crap. I had vertigo, my skin was hypersensitive, my head hurt, and I wanted to curl up in the fetal position but just couldn't get comfortable. When Capt Mike came home before heading off to practice, I was a whimpering lump on the bed. I asked him to call Katie for me and send my regrets. I heard them talk for a couple of minutes, and then Capt Mike came in to tell me that Katie had said if I was feeling better later, I could still go over, it wasn't a problem.
At 6:30, I could still feel every molecule hitting my skin, so I called Katie to let her know I really couldn't make it over there. There was no way I was potentially exposing anyone else to whatever this was, and there was certainly no way I was making it over there on my own power. Katie was extremely sympathetic, and passed the phone around to all of the other invitees who were there to celebrate my suprise bridal shower. If I hadn't felt crummy before, I certainly felt crummy then, knowing that people had gone to so much trouble, and that my immune system had let me down so very, very badly. :-(
I got to talk to everyone in turn though, and they all assured me that the mini-meatballs and carrot cake were thoroughly being enjoyed. My neighbour, Cheryl, packed me up a care package, which I was able to partially enjoy today once my fever had broken.
But I still feel like the lamest bride EVER.

I was really bummed when I came out of the bathroom and heard you had called. Your friends are great! It was really nice of them to pick me up and drop me off at the airport and all. On a positive note, I didn't really have any time to suffer jetlag.
There... NOW you can feel like the lamest bride EVER.
Hehehe... just kidding, by the way ;-) Hope you're feeling better!
