oh, and one thing

I'm really hoping I don't die in my sleep tonight.

I'm about to go to bed, and I woke up last night in the middle of the night, like 3:30 a.m.. I woke up with the worst food-poisoning symptoms and was up for an hour or two after that. No fun.

I slept in and recovered in time to make it to my exciting annual office survey meeting today, but am now feeling a little crampy in the suspect area again. I'm just hoping I don't go the way of my first-grade teacher, who mysteriously died of e-coli in her sleep, out of the blue.

I recently saw a movie where the lead character was getting teased about being a middle-aged woman living alone, and how sad it is when people die by accident choking or falling while living alone, and now it's making me, usually the epitome of devil-may-care, slightly paranoid. I may not be middle-aged yet, but I do eat real fast, and those things that others might be concerned about the age of.

Here's to waking up to face another day at the office...

WHAT? your teacher died of ecoli in the middle of the night??? wtf. did you know i had ecoli when we were 12? probably not, since you didn't know me when i was 12.

also, so the boy from friday & saturday was telling me this crazy story that happened to him last winter. his neighbor was this elderly woman and her daughter called him one snowy day to ask him check on her mother. she hadn't heard from her in a few days and was worried.

so, he goes over there, and the door is unlocked, so he goes in and there she is dead on the floor!!! holy shit can you imagine that?! he said it was weird, but he came away unphased - is that normal? or am i dating a sociopath?
