Posted: 06.15.2003 The weekend that keeps on giving
It seems our Friday the 13th didn't stop on Friday. I woke up sick as a dog in the middle of the night early Saturday morning. I ended up in the ER for about 9 hours (we got home after 2 p.m. yesterday). Seems I was the lucky recipient of acute gastroenteritis going down the Eastern seaboard... I have a lovely set of bruises down my left arm as a souvenir since it took no less than four tries to get the IV in.
Then today, a lightning strike hit close enough to our house to take out, of all things, our water pressure -- fry our caller ID box -- and meltdown our router. Only one computer can get online now, and for a few hours, even that was looking iffy. I'm sure I have a few design clients who want my head on a pike right now, and if you haven't heard from me or haven't been able to get ahold of me, that's why. Now if you'll please excuse me...I have a date with the couch... I'm doing fine. Just weak as hell. Thank god tomorrow starts a new week! UPDATE: Well we just learned a water-main broke in the storm, hence the water-pressure problems. At least I don't have the monkeypox, I guess...  I'm glad you are okay!!! :) Seems our server (here anyway) is fried... so Fri 13th continues!!! grrr! ¤ ¤ credit: Angel | 06.15.03 at 08:39 PM | link- -this ¤ ¤ It felled Seymour (the A.G.E.) for two days this week, and then today he was back on the couch.

Never did like that damned thing... -this ¤ ¤That sounds like a fine ending to a shitty-ass (sorry if there seems to be a pun in there)week. Between the crickets, freak-ass rainstorms, unknown illnesses, and vehicular breakdowns ... I think this might be the end of something ... (my sanity likely -- anyone for a nice white jacket ... anyone anyone?) Hope you feel better soon. ¤ ¤ credit: Kitty | 06.15.03 at 10:02 PM | link--this ¤ ¤Craaaap. Take it easy, monkeypox.

Hope you feel better-- they really should teach those nurses how to insert IVs.

Stomach ickiness is the worst in my opinion. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy...
