I have the flu--or something like it, for the second time this semester. This STINKS!! Of course, I can't say that with any certainty--I can't breathe well enough to tell what anything smells like.
Secondly, I just realized: I'm never going to win the lottery. Ok, I never really/seriously thought I would, but during my many hours piled in bed (due to this illness) I contemplated various recent happenings--and the ideas/whatever I based my lottery numbers upon are false/wrong/lies/whatever! They're insignificant! Worthless! Pointless! I'm beginning to feel even sicker!
Plus, I sent out around 60 Thanksgiving e-cards--to family, friends, and a group of people in a school organization. What I didn't anticipate was the nice, friendly, thoughtful Yahoo! Greeting announcement which arrives in my email inbox every time someone picks up his or her card. So now, in my sickened stupor, I log on the internet and MSN messenger to see if I have any fascinating mail, and lo and behold; I have 10 new messages!! Yay, how could I have been so lucky?! Then I finally arrive at the actual inbox to find 2 spam messages and 8 "your greeting has been picked up!" notifications! Perhaps the one things I hate more than NOT having email is becoming excited over actually having mail, then experiencing the extreme letdown of junk mail.
Now, I'm still whining, and I feel really dizzy. I want to go to bed. I really want a cherry coke with lots of cherry syrup (to cover the carbonation--so my throat won't suffer!) but while I'm dearly loved, no one really loves me enough to go get me a cherry coke. or a blizzard. or a sundae. In fact, I doubt anyone will venture out to make arrangements for my burial plot and coffin.
Here's to hoping they have an internet based funeral home!
