pubic lice and urination, but not really as gross as it sounds

so today BigSis is heading down to Mickey Mouse Land. i really admire her courage for this. she quit her work-a-day world job and is moving to another state for three months to work for Disney. when she comes back, she's going into a new career. knowing BigSis and her near-pathological desire for stability, this was a huge move. i just wish i wasn't going to miss her. i'd forgotten her departure date, and i was just thinking yesterday how i needed to call her up for a good long talk. now she's gone for a few months.

funny thing. today on cnn.com there was a piece about how workers at Disney World renegotiated their contracts so that the people in the little suits can launder their own undergarments. apparently there are Disney-issued underwear for certain suits (a frightening thought if i've ever heard one). Disney was supossedly laundering these, but they weren't doing a good enough job and since the costumes are worn by different people, they were passing around pubic lice and scabies. ah! the magic of Disney!

i don't think i'll tell BigSis about that. i don't think the purple fish would want to hear about it.

i'm going in to the doctor tomorrow to get a diabetes screen. why? because my normally hamster-sized bladder has been getting smaller and smaller. i swear i've had to pee about fifteen times today. you'd think i was pregnant. ChefsKey was at dinner on tuesday and he said he was getting a diabetes screen because he was always thirsty, had to pee all the time, and had frequent nausea. hmmm... thought j$. i'm always thirsty, i have to pee every five minutes and my stomach bothers me. plus i had a great aunt who had diabetes. perhaps i should check into it.

let's see are there any other incredibly personal details i feel compelled to share with all the people who read my journal?

not just now.

have a great day peeps, and remember SmogMonkey sez eat yer margarine.
