Twitter Weekly Updates for 2012-04-16
- Q and I taken out by some sort of GI bug. No work, hospitals for us today. :( #
- They're letting #sickboy try oral antibiotics this afternoon. This is a huge step in the right direction. Yay! #
- How nice of Q to go down and stay down for a nap while I pulled myself to the table for an important telecon. #
- And just like that, they're sending #sickboy home. Amazing what a difference a few days makes. Huzzah! #
- Frankly, I'm surprised that they've released him, but he's recovered lots of motion & lost a lot of pain. He'll be on oral abx for a while. #
- Happy. Might even try some solid food for the first time in a day and a half. #
- #sickboy is now home & parked in front of Sim City on laptop. Apparently he was suffering withdrawal. I think he's earned some screen time. #
- Thanks to EVERYONE who has sent along notes of encouragement, visited, and supported us over the past 2 weeks. Super appreciated! #sickboy #
- That in-between time when you don't know if you're hungry or nauseated. Yeah, that. #
- Norwalk virus. There's rumoured to be a Norwalk outbreak at the hospital, which fits what Q and I have had these past 2 days. #sickboys #
- I just hope Aidan doesn't get it. We've been super-vigilant about hand-washing, but we were like that in the hospital too. #
- Despite being happy to see my face, work is paranoid about the Norwalk exposure and I'm being sent home. Guilt-free day off? Doubtful. #
- Bizarre. The @vancouver365 account tweets indiscriminately about Vancouver BC … and Vancouver, WA. #botsgonewild #
- RT @CBCStephenQuinn: Man, another cyclist hit – – this time at 16th and Discovery. #bikeyvr #
- Interesting discussion right now On The Coast about cycling helmets. Tackles both sides of the issue. Related: http://t.co/MjAzHV7i #
- Read a few chapters of Encyclopedia Brown to the boys tonight. Talk about generation gap. What's an encyclopedia? #
- Ugh. This stomach virus only hits Quinlan at night. Thank goodness for in-suite laundry. #yetanotherbeddingchange #norwalkaway #
- Just how sick does one family need to get before their home is condemned? I'm, uh, asking for a friend. #
- Oooh, a math-teaching controversy! "Parents Against Teaching Math Concepts Instead of Rote" Huh? #mathishard #yyj #
- "CathyH"? *Another* Groundspeak #geocaching reviewer? I miss mtn-man #yvr #mywholebodyisbuzzing #
- Vibrating text alerts are fine … until you get 20 within 1 minute. #geocaching #newpowertrail #
- Ugly hack is ugly. And, several years later: incomprehensible. :headdesk: #
- Effective use of transcripts when applying for job: Miserable grades in 2006, time off, awesome grades in 2011. Yes, we will interview you! #
- Tuning into #OTC for the first time in a while. What happened to Tim The Traffic guy? #TrafficReporterDuJour #cbccuts #
- What? Video Hits was cancelled? #
- Irony: George Zimmerman is worried about getting a fair trial. I wonder if Trayvon Martin had the same worry? #
- George Zimmerman "is worried about getting a fair trial". Do you think he was as worried about Trayvon Martin getting a fair trial? #
- So that's what keeps happening to the traffic reporters! Don't drink Rick's coffee. #otc #trafficreporterroulette #
- Which is more dysfunctional in terms of funding? The public school system, or Translink? #bcpoli #yvr #
- I wonder how long Q will stand in his doorway yelling "I can't sleep!"? Could be a while. #

- Tired, but happy. And mostly healthy. http://t.co/Ya756nrb #
- 7:30 telecon with lots of chefs, but not the culinary kind. Are we having fun yet? #
- This will make you popular on the bike routes: http://t.co/jQb9sHpy (via @gizmodo, thanks @soundy, @findchico ) #bikeyvr #trainhorn #
- You know that if it makes the public happy, it doesn't make the media companies happy: http://t.co/mRB4an7u #cbcmusic #protectionism #
