i don't get enough sleep 

i've got a smidgeon of a cold. i've been battling it for a few days, but today it was coming on full force. I left work early and went home and slept, and a couple of hours ago had some theraflu. i actually do feel better. i'm gonna cross my fingers and hope this is the worst of it. i'm going to be testing like a crazy person for the next few weeks and i really can't afford to get sick and be out of commission. really. just don't have the time to get sick. it's a harsh, harsh world out their kiddies, so take advantage of not having real worries while you have the time.

my friend/co-worker's husband came back from Iraq today. it's funny how there's a war going on, but it stays so far back in our social conscience that we hardly think about it. it's actually pretty impressive.

have you seen the show "intervention" on A&E? probably not, unless you are a fan of the A&E channel. it's neat! you have these people with these addictions and they think they are making a documentary about their addiction, but what they don't know is that their family and friends have back-handedly scheduled this intervention for them. i've only seen 1 episode, but it was a good one. it has 2 different stories and this one was about this girl who is addicted to vicodin. she started it because she had like tonsillitis and got addicted to her pain killers. the best part: her boyfriend was terminally ill (they never said with what) and she was STEALING his vicodin from him. how's about that?? the other story was about this girl who was a cutter. i always thought being a cutter meant you cut your arms, but this girl was cutting everything on her body. and when she was feeling especially bad about herself, she would cut her pubic area. eeeks is what i say. she would just make these little cuts, but a ton of them, and the blood would start gushing out. makes my head a little woozy.

we're at neneng's office. andy had to grout a tile and neneng is working on wedding stuff. i came along to help neneng and keep andy company. i need to go home and get back to resting. come to think of it, at least i don't have diarrhea anymore.
