Time spent parked in the bathroom in the middle of the night actively trying to convince your body that it is quite done dumping core and it does not need to evacuate from both ends of the digestive tract, or staring at the moonlit tile on the bathroom floor and not thinking at all because cognition requires effort and you're trying to marshal the effort to get up and go back to bed, should not count against your allocation of time for the night. However long it takes, it should exist in a pocket of the time stream like a dream or a visit to Narnia, and you should get your full allotment of sleep by the time you wake up rather than allotment minus the time in the bathroom.

... in other news, I'm not at work today.

If it's the nasty GI virus that went around a few years ago (which I think was Noro, but have no microbiological proof), expect a total of about 14 hours of... core-dump... followed by about a day of did-anyone-get-the-licence-plate-on-that-truck and a few days of your GI tract being unsure that input is actually a good idea (not expulsion, just a pervasive are-you-sure-you-want-to-put-that-in-here?)

Once you resume PO input, you know about the BRAT diet, right?

Hope it resolves itself quickly and your brain comes home.

Yeah, the Fribley cafeteria was prone to people turning up with Yersinia food poisoning, so BRAT was something most of us learned about early on.

Oh, yes, Fribley, how little I miss thee. And yet it was still generally better than Leutner...
