Uju had (still has) a cold, so she left work early saturday night and came to my house hoping to transmit the cold to me (what a good friend she is, right?).  Anyway, she watched some Nigerian movies she brought, and I catered to her to the best of my ability; I fried plantain and made egg-stew for her as she requested and I brought her pillows to be comfortable (what a great friend I am, right?  I know!).  Yesterday (Sunday) morning however, she started complaining of stomach pain.  At first, I thought it was just some minor pain, but she started crying and told me she was feeling nauseous, so I asked her where the pain was and she pointed 2 it.  It was xactly where my pain was, so I was like &#8220;uh oh&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I gave her the medication I took anyway, and for a brief moment, she seemed to be feelin better (just like it happened 2 me).  Next thing I knew, she got up and ran to the bathroom to throw up.  She threw up all the plantain she ate the night before (wat a waste of plantain!).  After that, she felt better&#8230; for a few minutes before the pain came back.  She resorted to lying on the bathroom floor and crying&#8230; and spittin occasionally&#8230;just like I did when I was sick.<\/p>\n<p>I concluded she had the stomach virus like I did&#8230; or maybe she had ulcer like I thought I might have had.  Anyways, @ a point, she couldn&#8217;t take d pain anymore, she my mother called 911.  They came in less than 10 minutes (I don&#8217;t think they knew we were black), then they checked her and told her it was probably just a stomach virus that has been going around.  They told her to just rest and let the virus run its course.<\/p>\n<p>After that she decided to go home, so I went with her to watch her.  I planned on comin home in the night, but I decided to stay, and I am happy (even proud) to say that she is feeling much better today.  Thank God!<\/p>\n<p>So I&#8217;m wondering&#8230; is there something in my house?  I mean, why didn&#8217;t she get the virus before coming to my house?  It doesn&#8217;t make sense, does it?  Is it my house?  I have 2 bring a pastor 2 bind the virus outta my house&#8230; 4 real. <\/p>\n<p>On the plus side, Funmi and Ibukun are coming over my house today, and I hope they both get infected (yes, I said it!).  They deserve it (yes, I said it again!).  I want them to have it; I wanna see them bend over in pain.  Is that an evil plan?  Whatever!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This weekend started off great, or at least normal.
