Sorry, man. Is it at least afflicting only potty-trained members of the household? Do you know what caused it?

I'll be fine. I think it is a mild case of cholera. I'm sure I'll be up and at 'em in a day or two.

Or maybe I finally tipped the balance and have Celiac. Or Ebola Zaire.

I think you mix it all beforehand: I don't think you have to hop.
