What's mildly irritating you today?

once decided to clean a laptop keyboard at a jobsite. using a shopvac. clickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclick as a stripe of keycapless keys appeared on the keyboard.

Oops.

I shut down the shopvac, opened it and retrieved the keys. They were plenty clean now. But I had to reattach them to the keyboard. It did not go easily or well.

My tummy hurts, and I don't know why.

It started yesterday morning. Feels like cramps, high up at the top, not down low where you'd think of female-type cramps. Sort of like labor pains, for those of you who have been through that, but again, higher - and I promise, I'm not preggy.

Pain is bad enough, when it hits, I have to stop what I'm doing and breathe through it.

Yesterday I felt all achy and yucky and slept on and off all day, but I had two exams today so I still had to study a bit. This morning I still felt awful but dragged myself to take those exams.

Tonight I've taken an ibuprofen and feel a little better, but my tummy still hurts - pains hit a little less often, but just as bad. I've made up my mind that I have to get on with my life regardless. I've got a paper due tomorrow, so I'm down in my office finishing it up. (and my printer isn't cooperating...bad ink cartridge...sheesh, can't get a break.)

What the heck? I'm not puking or anything else...just a tummy ache.

Moms aren't allowed to get sick. This bites.

But it was really clean when you finished, right?

Did you use the brush attachment? That keeps you from getting close enough for that to happen. At least with our vac.
