I just adore taking the train ... so many interesting things happen and when I am not dozing I catch a few of them ... tonight there was a group of 6th graders on the train walking around taking a survey ... they claimed it was for extra credit ... but I have a feeling that in part they were proving to each other how smart they were and how dumb everyone else is ... little do they realize that unless they join the scientific or medical field there is little use for the 4 stages of mitosis ... none the less it was fun ... they were asking people their favorite radio station ... if they were pro abortion ... favorite ice cream ... 4 stages of mitosis ... what is 10[squared] ... the capital of Zimbabwe ... but it got people talking ... and laughing ... and it was a fun diversion on the ride home ...


it is too bad they didn't ask me the questions ... I know the 4 phases of mitosis are prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase ... don't ask me how I know that ... in college I only went to biology class on test day ... I mean the class was at 8 o'clock in the morning ... on the total opposite side of campus ... during the winter ... in Kansas ... where it can be 30 below on a good day ... and I pulled a C ... just enough to get by ... my schooling trademark ...


I did great on my first day of 128 days to healthier ... although by the time David picked me up at the station I was nursing a killer headache and felt a little loopy from the lack of solid food ... so we went to dinner ...


and now that I am actually mixing with people in the real world I am coming in contact with germs again ... not that I am a germ-o-phobe ... but come on ... the guy next to me tonight was talking about how he had Tori Amos tickets but couldn't go cause he was too sick ... if you are too sick for a great concert don't get on the fucking train ... before I left work I was feeling funky but I thought it was the lack of food ... now that I am home I feel even funkier ... achy ... tired ... I need to take care of myself ... a year off work and I wasn't sick ... cause I didn't come in contact with others too much ... but now ... now I need to work on getting more rest ... and being good to myself ... cause if I am not at work I don't get paid ... it isn't like my old job where I could work at home if need be ... I gotta be there to get the moula ... :)
