lousy Tisha B'Av

Tisha B'Av is supposed to be a lousy day, but this one really set a new bar for lousy.

I caught some sort of a stomach bug. On Friday I was feeling a little under, but kept my regular schedule. Shabbos morning, I was feeling worse, but stuck it out through shul. When got home I could not eat more than a couple bites then went down with too much in the way of stomach aches. Eventually I started barfing, and then it was all over.

I went Saturday night to shul thinking I would make it through Eicha, but I could not stay for more than a few minutes. I had to go home to barf some more. So I did not even get to hear Eicha this Tisha B'Av.

Then this morning it continued and I missed all kinnos because I was still feeling sick and vomitted a bit.

We did not go tot he Kotel as we usually do on 9 Av afternoon, and we had considered going to Hebron, but that clearly did not happen either...

So all around, this has to be one of the worst Tisha B'Avs for me...
