Or maybe it's a new kind of sickness. Maybe my body is trying to purge something other than bad fish and a shrunken stomach. Perhaps every envelope I receive from now on will contain a notice that lets me know I will soon have to do something i find disagreeable. Perhaps every phone call will put me on bad 80's harmony hold and then chew gum into my ear when they finally decide to pick up. Mayhaps this is my sickness.
I will tell you something: I think that if I don't drink any coffee, I might be able to keep this bagel down and effectively complete my workday, except that I can't focus my eyes and my teeth are so heavy that maybe I should just put my head down on my desk for a second and take a nap. If I do drink some coffee, I'll probably lose all the ground I've gained in the eating-things arena, but at least I won't feel so much like bursting into tears and flinging letter openers and rollerball pens at passers-by.
It's a wonderful thing to have options.

Posted by: molly at November 16, 2004 10:47 AMThanks love, but I'm fine. Lets all just keep our fingers crossed that it's not viral.
Posted by: sonya at November 16, 2004 10:52 AMI appear to be fine thus far, so it's either a recent and sneaky virus or it's the fish. I'm crossing my fingers for the fish. (go, fish, go!)

It doesn't sound like this is from playing catch.
You're sick!
