Today's rambling: How can this be?

while feeling a bit

*pouts* I'm sick!

Not like THAT!!!! Hehehehe ;)

No, I'm actually like sick, as in, I have some sort of ailment! :oP It started yesterday...I remember I was standing at the bread slicer, slicing up...well, BREAD for croutons, and my throat just started to get sore. It wasn't too bad then, but I walked over to the dairy aisle and bought some orange-peach-mango juice, not only 'cause it tasted good, but because of the vitamin C content. ;)

So later that night my throat got worse, and I wandered off again to find some cough drops, and possibly some vitamin C drops. That was when I found Halls Defense...yummy little things that are combination throat lozenges and vitamin C supplements! Ah, 'twas a nice thing.

But this morning I woke up, and my throat had gotten to the point where I felt like I had to keep swallowing (I don't know how to explain that, hehe), and I was like, "Aww MAN, I don't want to be sick!" All these hours I'm getting, and you think I'm going to waste any of them? Heh! ;) So I got up and got ready for work, thinking that it was just a sore throat and I would easily be able to survive. Not so, I'm afraid!

Debbie was the only one in the department, and I walked in already feeling pretty crappy. But then I started feeling really sluggish and tired, and generally just really heavy (like I was walking under weights or something), and I knew I wasn't going to be able to hold out the entire day. But after Debbie left at 1, there wouldn't be anyone in the department except the cake decorator, so I figured I'd stay until Zenon came back from the meeting he'd had to go to. I thought he'd be back around 12 or something...he wasn't back 'til after 2. That left me with only 2 and a half more hours 'til the end of my shift, but I was like, "Too bad, I'm going anyway!" Unfortunately, I couldn't actually leave until 4:30 anyway, because they called Mom in and I therefore had to hitch a ride home with her friend Linda.

I walked into the break room, sat down at one of the tables, and promptly fell asleep. Awhile later, Nick came back and said something like, "I thought you went home!" (he'd seen me when I was leaving). Since I was asleep, and it had been pretty much quiet in the room, his voice startled me and I jerked my head up. Then he was like, "Oh, were you asleep?" I was until you woke me up! Hehe..nah, he's cool, I like him. ;) Not like THAT! I mean, I think he's cute, but totally incompatible. *giggles*

And now I'm home. Let the dogs out, made myself some bagel bites, and I think I'm going to go back to bed for a little while. I'm so tired! I don't know if I have a fever or not, so I'll have to check...in the break room I was really really cold, so I turned the heat on, but I was still shivering, so I was like, "Oh boy, I hope I'm not getting worse!" I feel a little better now, though, so that's good.

It's so weird, because I RARELY ever get sick in autumn or winter. It's always spring when I come down with something! So I was hoping I'd still have a few months before I had to worry about getting sick, LoL! Oh well!

Frank tried blabbing more about Erin today, and I was already in a pissy mood, so I was quite close to telling him to shut up, I didn't care anymore. He sent her flowers the other day telling her to cheer up, but she doesn't know who they're from and he's not telling her...though I suspect it's only a matter of time before he falls at her feet reciting poetic words of love and adoration. Meanwhile, Erin told me today (only after I asked) that she's got a crush on a guy who works in the deli department, and she really really wants to go out with him...EEEESH! Glad I'm not caught up in that triangle!

Oo, something I'd wanted to write last night...Victoria's Secret has finally stooped about as low as they possibly can without completely transforming into a Playboy clone. Has anyone seen the newest commercial? It's like friggin' porn! (Oh geez, what sorts of people are going to find this diary via search engine now...?) I've never liked their commercials, because I think it's wrong that they have women parading around in their underwear...I mean COME ON, Victoria's Secret is supposed to be for WOMEN! Why the hell are they making these tasteless commercials? Yeah, I know, they want guys to be like, "Oo, I want MAH woman to dress like that!" but more often than not, you're just giving them material which they can use to...ahem...pleasure themselves. In other words, it's porn. And it's disgusting. And if my boyfriend/husband bought me lingerie from there, I'd slap it back in his face and tell the pig to get the hell out!

So Victoria's Secret? You suck, too. Probably literally, considering the content of their latest commercial. :oP

Anyhoo, before I go, someone wrote a note in my little D-land Notes section! *grins* I thought it might've been Lola or Jam, but it was someone I don't even know! Whee, I feel so loved and popular! ;) Thank yooooou!

Now, I'm going to go eat the rest of my food, put the puppy back in his room, and take a nice long nap. I'd kinda like to lose my voice, hehe...that happened once before, and it got annoying after awhile, but it was fun at first! I know, I'm weird. :oP
