Yeah, I feel like I lost a good part of the day. I'm not even sure how long I was asleep.
At least the crick in my neck seems to have gone.
It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

That sucks, flea! Anti-nausea to you. Hate that feeling.
I am trying to decide what to do this evening--I have an appointment south of town, and texted a friend down there, but he is out of town. I could go to contradancing. And may--I'm annoyed at my body for not only feeling creaky and achey, but for only losing half a pound this week. I mean, really. What's the point in all the dieting and feeling constrained on food, if I'm not losing any weight?!?
And screw Valentine's Day. And all the couple-ness. And people who are having sex. ...OK now I'm just getting grumpy and unreasonable.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I just went and had my acrylic nails soaked off because my own bitten-off nails finally grew out underneath them. Then I got a gel manicure. I don't know what it is, but it is a super-modern nail polish which is supposed to last 2-3 weeks and it's shiny. Gel FTW.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I went grocery shopping. Why does a bag of baby spinach with bacon bits and croutons cost less per pound than a bag of plain baby spinach? It was a pretty significant difference, too.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
And screw Valentine's Day. And all the couple-ness. And people who are having sex. ...OK now I'm just getting grumpy and unreasonable.
I understand this. A friend and I are going out to eat tonight as each other's V'day dates. I am very much looking forward to it.
flea, feel better! No puking.

I don't feel barfy anymore but I have a fever and I'm all achey, and tylenol is not helping either. I am so rarely sick it is strange. I've been watching old Antiques Roadshow clips with the guy I co-edited my high school literary magazine with as appraiser of 19th century books and manuscripts, which is also strange. He looks and sounds pretty much exactly the same.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
because the bacon and croutons weight more than the spinach? or because there is a terrible conspiracy against vegetarians?

Happy Birthday Pix and Maria!
I feel very productive - worked ahead on the new ultra-crunched project today and have gotten as far as I can without further input from the editors. Fortunately, no one had further input for me as of 7:15pm so it looks like I get tomorrow off after all! (I will, of course, be paying for this next weekend when everything hits my desk and I have to work 13+ hours a day to keep up.)
