Taking Leave for a Stomachache

I woke up at four in the morning with a stomachache. I endured it until dawn, then went to the hospital to get checked out.

A stomach ulcer.

The doctor said it was due to an irregular schedule, irregular meals, and drinking too much coffee.

Sigh! My writing isn't much good, but I've managed to pick up a whole pile of health problems.

I'm terribly sorry, but I can only take the day off to rest today.
