there goes the 7-year winning streak

Throwing up is every bit as bad as I remembered it. Maybe worse, because ( -- you do NOT want to know )

I lack crackers or other easily digestible bread products, so I'm making whole wheat drop biscuits with extra salt. Also, I started a load of laundry so I don't have to face anything bad tomorrow. It is possible that I am overly domesticated.

Maybe someday I'll be able to go to sleep. And I can stop having the hiccups, shit, of all the things to happen.

Notes to self:
Buy crackers.
Do not attempt to just go to sleep when feeling nauseated. Eat the crackers.
There's nausea and then there's nausea with stomach pain. The latter seems to be big trouble.
Eat your biscuits and go to sleep, girl.

I'm doing better, though I'm still really not feeling well. Thanks for the good wishes. Wim came by and brought a few necessities.

Why do people want to post that they've marked all posts as read in a newsgroup? I've never understood that. If I had to do that sort of thing (which I don't, generally, since I read very quickly), I'd just do it. It feels to me like people are assuming stuff is directed at them (and that therefore they are terribly important people, therefore presumptuous, therefore negative feelings from me). The way I see it, I've left the party to go to the bathroom, and if someone needs me for something they'll track me down. I'm sure people who do that sort of thing feel differently about it. Why do you or do you not tell people when you're absent from an online forum?

Extra credit: And is LJ different? It is for me because my friends are called by name and I'm careful not to let the list get above what I can be sure to keep up on. How do people with bigger friends lists feel?
