(Later) Hey, fyi, I'm down with a case of nausea this evening at 9pm. So if I don't participate as much as usual tomorrow it's because I'm waiting to purge whatever has upset my stomach so I can get over feeling nauseated, OK?
It's just something I ate, but since I teach philosophy and psychology classes to nursing students at a community college for a living, having a night of uninterrupted NAUSEA can't help but remind me of the French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre's classic book "Nausea."

"Nausea (French: La Nausée) is a philosophical novel by the existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, published in 1938. It is Sartre's first novel[1] and, in his own opinion, one of his best works.[2]
The novel takes place in 'Bouville' (homophone of Boue-ville, literally, 'Mud town') a town similar to Le Havre,[3] and it concerns a dejected historian, who becomes convinced that inanimate objects and situations encroach on his ability to define himself, on his intellectual and spiritual freedom, evoking in the protagonist a sense of nausea."
Of course, this too shall pass.... I'm just posting because it seems to be taking its time, so if I'm not around tomorrow as much as usual, that's why. Meanwhile, I offer up this philosophy book for a good chuckle at my nauseated tummy's expense.

But Muji!
Sartre's "Nausea"!!!
A very important book in my life.i used to carry a dog eared copy around with me when i was a teenager.
My copy now i often return to,with its many passages underlined.
He just....he *got* it,you know?
That book really speaks to me.
Muji,feel better soon.You have been having such a hard time lately you don't need to be sick on top of it.
It's been a tough week, yes, and now nausea, too. Hoping for better tomorrow.
I'll work harder this week to make up the two days of class prep lost.
