i do *not* have Anthrax.

day two of j$ hides from everything. i'm sick. sick with head cold and sneezing and mild fever and scratchy throat. yesterday i was up at six and couldn't get back to sleep and couldn't sleep last night, up late watching star trek at one in the morning. today i got up for five minutes to email in sick, then back to bed. up at ten and a sudden whirlwind of cleaning the apartment (happens when i spend too much time in it) then back to bed again. just up again now. don't know what's going on tonight, but i'll probably skip it and stay here and try to go to sleep early. let me just say one more thing. cnn is evil. all day yesterday and much more loudly last night SmogMonkey was whispering Anthrax in my ears. which is ridiculous. Exactimundo Software is based in Israel, says SmogMonkey. ridiculous. i do *not* have Anthrax. i'm just sick. end of story. then i turn on cnn and it's Anthrax this and Anthrax that and i'm surprised you're not dead already and then it all comes flooding back. and i'm too weak and tired right now to deal with the thought.

i do *not* have Anthrax.
