I didn't mention how I felt yesterday, 'cause I was hoping that if I didn't think about it this bad feeling would go away.

Well, I guess that only works in the movies or something, it didn't work with me. Got sick again last night a coupla hours after eating and now my gut's all sore again and all of my back muscles have tightened up again... bad enough to be really uncomfortable if I'm just sitting and painful if I try to do anything else.

It could be worse, though... an acquaintance of mine, the husband of an old friend, had a coronary yesterday afternoon and didn't make it. He was 46, and didn't smoke/drink/do any other reckless stuff. Athletic-type guy, and a really nice guy too. I really feel for his wife Susie and their kids, both in high school.

I know way too many people who are dying and getting (terminally) sick. Haven't lost any really close friends, though, I'm keeping my fingers crossed on that.

Anyhoo, I'm going to try to go to sleep... I'll set the alarm for about 13:00 and see how I'm doing by then, if I'm not better I'll call in sick again. One really bad thing about working nights is that they expect a long lead time if you're not gonna be there.

I do feel (after recently rejecting such advice) that I might need a coupla days to shake this shit. I should'a stayed home longer the first time like I was told to.

O'well... live and learn. I'm really slow at that, I'll probably run out of time before I learn.


Thanx for being here!
