have i mentioned lately how much i love the minion? i didn’t think so. well, i do. because she just gets it and she was talking about how the song “what a wonderful world” always gets her, and then as soon as the song is over she goes back to hating everybody. she’s as misanthropic [...]

1. when i told FFJ i was sick, she told me whooping cough was going around, and she’s the type of woman who knows these sorts of things.
2. i’ve had whooping cough before and i know this stressed out feeling in my chest isn’t your average cold.
3. the last time i had whooping cough, i [...]

i can feel the opression descending on me. i’m getting a cold, right now as we speak, i can feel my sinuses filling, my eyes drooping. i’m becoming the saggy, baggy jodi and it’s not fun, not fun at all. i just want to go back to sleep. i think i need to go and [...]

i bet that corporate america could see a resurgence in employee loyalty and productivity if they were:
A. allowed to work without pants on (much like i am doing now)
B. allowed to sing along with soul coughing’s “4 out of 5″ really loudly while typing away at whatever it is they are being paid to do
also, [...]

i think that just in time for my weekend date i will have caught a cold. i am none too pleased with this development and plan on drinking about 38 gallons of orange juice to see if that doesn’t do something. i knew i was gonna get sick. i knew it. what with all the [...]

i feel like i have 7-up in my sinuses. they feel all bubbly and carbonated. it’s not fun. of course the joke is that i’ve gotten SARS and am rampantly spreading it around. i just want to go home and sleep for 100 years.
in other news, i’m going to go buy some swanky new glasses [...]

while i was busily and happily working my ass off today i managed to catch a cold. it blows. i can’t hardly swallow and i’m a sneezing fool. this totally blows. i have lots to do this week and really haven’t the time for a cold– dinner with the best friend, a trip to see [...]

i’m still sick and opted out of hanging out with the best friend and the cutest redhaired boy in minnesota. i didn’t want to infect poor jakey when he’s already got some infected ears.
so in lieu of hanging out and girl-talking i’m staying in and babying the hell out of myself. i just got back [...]

if i can just make it to happy hour tonight, things will be ok. that’s what i keep telling myself. today is just sorta icky and i feel very much alone having to fight the battle myself. i still feel pretty damn good about getting so much schtuff done last night. tres, tres impressive.
also [...]

utoh. i think i just caught a cold. this is not so good. but suddenly i am stuffy nosed and scratchy throated. i caught it somewhere between the meeting room and my cell. i am so not happy with this sudden development.

enough of the melancholy and sadness. i can only handle being a sap for 72 hours max. my right breast still itches like crazy. i keep wondering if i have fleas. also, i am hungry– starving. probably, because i haven’t eaten in two days. i think i’m gonna hve some ice cream.

we are all alone.
we are what we see.
that’s what the book i am reading keeps telling me. i am in love with this book. it’s breaking my heart all over the place. it’s everything i wanted from “smart vs. pretty” and “stick figure: a diary of my former self” and so much more.
my head [...]

swallowing has ceased being a mindless luxury and become a taxing chore. i like the way the fizzy diet pepsi tingles on the sore parts located in the back of my throat.
i made the mistake of taking a nap. . . sleep will not be visiting me anytime soon this chilly fall night. it’s my [...]

from the strange but true file:
i’ve sneezed about 8 times tonight. every time, my nipples would get hard. i am not sure what kind of physical ailment this might be a precursor to. i really cannot fathom what kind of odd biological thing is going on to make one’s nipples hard when they sneeze. it’s [...]

i am sick, darling ones. i left work early. one of my co-workers said, “you don’t have time to be sick.” the big launch grows ever closer. ugh!
i went to bed at 5 this afternoon and have been up for 30 minutes. i am going back to bed now. i hope i feel better tomorrow.
