Sleep

I slept 12 hours yesterday. I got up at 11:00. I took the day off work, then by 2:00 I was ready for a nap. I've been really tired lately. Probably a combination of things, but today I talked to the physiatrist at work, and he thinks I have a flu virus. Yea, we'll see.

Somehow I always end up getting sick before or during visiting Peoria. At least I have an easy workday tomorrow. Ugh. Work.

It's nice to be ignorant

When I was a kid....

I knew no better but to think that when it was cold outside, there was a "windshield" factor-as opposed to wind chill.

I did not know that when it is 0 degrees outside, one can get frostbitten within 30 minutes. I just wanted to play in the snow.

I thought my animals would be waiting for me in heaven when I die. { This has, as of yet, to be proven or disproven (maybe I will see Bullet and Tabby-cat again!)}.

Poop dissolved into nothingness after you flushed it down the toilet.

Everyone in the world had food to eat, except the kids starving in China (or Africa, or whatever other country one's mother likes to repeat).

Somehow, by kicking their shins and spitting, boys would like me.
