Take care of yourself man, making money is never justified by going in to work sick. Trust me on this one.

i feel a bit better now but my job doesn't really lend itself to being sick on the job- heavy machinery.

I think there was too much chlorine in the spa I was in on two separate days.

I now have these weird sores on my pits, tits, and pelvis/leg. Dunno what else it could be..

I had my first cavity like a year ago. it sucked. haven't had one since though, and I don't have the best tooth hygiene in the world (brush once a day, usually at night, and use mouthwash in the morning).

we should be thankful for medical innovations such as electroshock therapy. they have saved many people like sylvia plath from severe depression and suicide, instilling a true meaning of life.

How are you feeling today, asemi? I hope you are eating/drinking more, at this point.

If it helps, my tried and true no-vomit solution has always been Gatorade (Kool-Aid as a backup) and saltine crackers.

phi_ and nny, sup w/your sleep schedules? are you going to bed at 7 pm or what.

eating ok today. still feeling kind of nauseous after eating anything though. tried to go to a show tonight and came home after like a half hour because I felt awful. drinking lots of gatorade! hopefully I can shake this soon.

My sleep schedule is whenever I feel like going to bed. Sometimes midnight, sometimes 4AM. I always wake up around 9-10AM, though.

It's been a weird semester. My dad's back in town and wants me and my brother to go Singapore this summer. That makes twice in one year I've talked to him AND he's offering to bring us over there ... we're only half-joking when my brother and I say he's probably dying or something. I dunno.

So... okay, I guess?

Fuck this.

I went home at 4 pm because I felt sick and had a headache. I fell asleep in front of the TV, maybe 10 or 15 minutes. I wanted to make sure I was able to sleep at night so I went out to the store, got some food, I ate a bit, etc. and went to bed at 11pm.
It's now fucking 5:30 am and I still ain't fucking asleep.

This soooo sucks.

Carpet (sorry, for some reason you keep attracting my responses today) this is going to sound weird, but if that store has some tart, 100% cherry juice you should buy some and drink a bit. Supposedly it has really helped a friend of mine to successfully fall asleep.

Yes my smeller is back up and running. I am a fan of it. And I finally found and killed this mother of a mosquito queen bitch that has been biting me in my apt all week. I took her out like seals took out osama.
