tired. i got about six hours of sleep, and am about to go back to bed. i have a really upset stomach, the kind that makes me wonder if my GI infection is turning into IBS. i have this vision of myself as a cute girl who doesn't smell or spend hours at a time in the bathroom, so the whole thing is kind of traumatic.

it's my birthday... technically, by date, now, but i wasn't born til 832AM, so not really until morning. i'm going to go figure out what dress to wear to dinner, as most of my dresses need minor repairs here-or-there. I elected not to go see SARK tonight, as I wasn't feeling great and I wanted to be well enough to do something on my birthday. had to make a choice, weigh which was more important to me. fabulous sukiyaki & possibly a short trip to sephora won out.

still trying to get stupid rust stains out of accursed sheets. have resorted to soaking sheets in boilinghot water with cream of tartar. may have to resort to purchasing a commercial rust remover. bother.

confused about many things, from top to toe. what i want to do and be. need perspective, need support... it's the same old things. i am happy with some of my changes but others still need more magic behind them.

speaking of, buffy was pretty cool tonight. i bet nobody thought when it was first starting that it would become one of the best shows on tv. i'm not going to say any more because of spoilers, in case anyone hasn't seen it yet. but they've really been on a roll lately, esp in handling character death. & i am a comics and manga girl, so watching what is essentially a very good graphic novel brought to life is always gratifying.

I had IBS *hard-core* for like 3++ years.. it was so bad I would have to lay down in the bathroom cuz I was to weak to walk. I would get sick from eating like one piece of toast.
it SUCKSSSSSSS. not to mention how much effort it takes to hide it from people. hehe. its socially awkward.

toast, yeah. anything really. the doctors tell you to eat lots of fiber and water and it'll take care of itself. my arse!! you never know what'll set it off. and fiber barely helps.

i hope you don't get IBS. cause, for me, it is extremely embarassing (spending hours in the bathroom), tiresome (learning where every damn bathroom is in a thirty-mile radius), and life affecting (never know if you'll be able to make it to work or not, bad attendance, could be fired).

i pray that you don't have it!!!!! take care.

:) ;) a beautiful birthday song for u.

IBS is the worst. I should know -- I've had it for decades. :-( They can give you tranquilizers and tell you to take a lot of fibre and that will fix it. It doesn't. It just makes it a little better. It's stress related though, sweetie. So hopefully you can get it under control (if you have it, I mean -- and I hope you don't).

UGGGH! I had IBS when I was in school, got sent home everyday for throwing up on my classmates desks. I hope you don't have it. : (

On a lighter note. Happy Birthday! I address this much more colourfully with a goofy fish picture in my journal.
