i had a really freaky experience at work yesterday. i don’t want to get into the details, but it quite literally scared the shit out of me. luckily for me, debbie very calmly took charge when i told her i thought something was wrong. kevin, my boss, kept checking up on me all afternoon which was totally annoying in an utterly sweet way and, after work, christopher and jen came over to keep my mind off it with pizza and a movie.
i’m still experiencing a little post-episode hypochondria today. it’s something i hate about myself, but i totally work myself up into quite a state when i sense unusual symptoms. 99% of the time it’s nothing, but i get on the internet and diagnose myself with cancer, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, etc. and then spend the next few days waiting for my impending death. i’m not quite sure why i do it to myself, but i really wish i would get over it already. it’s very wearing on my nerves.
before anyone (else) gets all worried, i got looked over by ed the awesome first aid guy and he was confident of his diagnosis. if he had been even the least bit concerned it was something serious i would have been at the hospital PDQ. all i know is that i don’t ever want to go through that again. *shudder*

    I too am glad you’re feeling better…whatever it was, I’m glad it’s over!!

  4. Okay, 1. Now I’m curious!
    2. ” but it quite literally scared the shit out of me” I sure hope you’re using “literally” figuratively (which is literally one of my biggest pet peeves when literally listening to people literally talk).
    3. Could you consider changing the text of the comments to black to match the main page text – the grey is hard to read on the cherries. Or my eyes are gettnig old!
