This is the city: Indianapolis, Indiana. I work here. I'm a photographer (for this story.)
It was Sunday, December 12 and it was snowing and cold in Indianapolis.
We were working a photo shoot on the circle in downtown.
My partner is Mike Derringer, and the boss, well, we were both "the boss."
My name is Bethany.
A young women had become ill Sunday evening and we had to figure out who or what made her sick.

Okay, Okay, enough fun. I've been home sick for two days now. I'm FINALLY starting to feel better, so I'm working on photos from our shoots this past weekend. When I came across this photos (notice the blurring to "protect the innocent") I had to do a quick blog post. This drink, up until Monday night, was what I thought to be the reason I had been so sick!
I was feeling fine until about an hour after I had this eggnog hot chocolate. I didn't have time to be sick so I just chalked it up as my body not taking kindly to liquid chocolate (no joke - they just melt chocolate for their hot chocolate - it's like drinking a liquid Hershey bar) or that there was some bad Eggnog mixed in with the drink.
That evening, Mike and I went to my work's Christmas party, where, come to find out, I was the only staff member (besides the host and some of our mutual friends) who actually was crazy enough to venture out into the snow storm Sunday night. I had to be there! I had made cupcakes and whoopie pies! Once it was time to eat, I had NO appetite, but I just figured I had O.D'd on Chocolate.
We didn't stay very long because of the weather and headed home. I'll spare you the rest of the details, but come Monday night when I was still sick, I decided it was the flu rather than the drink above.
And then I remembered back to a week prior when I was at my doctors office and they asked if I had gotten my flu shot yet and I said "Nope!" Yeah - probably should have gotten my flu shot.
