Writhe-a-thon… it was a typo, but an accurate one considering how I felt today. I seem to have been food poisoned on Wednesday night. Something’s been messing with my system, making me feel cold when it’s hot, hot when it’s cold, making me sleep most of the day, making me feel dizzy and weak, and, of all things, making me pee a lot. (And no, it’s not diabetes.)
We have a theory that it was either the food I picked up on the way home last night — Lime had a hankering for something she used to have when whe worked at the hospital I was at yesterday — or else from the ice cream bar I had last night, which may have melted and refrozen before I bought it.
In any case, I felt like hell for a lot of the day and most of the evening, but suddenly felt better about 2:00am. Too late to go for a long walk, unfortunately, but not too late to get some more writing done. Anyway, here are my stats for Thursday:

Hi Gord-
Congratulations on writing 92,619 words! Hope you are recovered from food poisoning. It sounded awful.
I just sent Kira the latest write-a-thon figures: $7590 collected as of last weekend compared to $5800 collected for the entire 06 write-a-thon. We always receive allot of money after the write-a-thon so we may reach our goal of $10,000. As the Treasurer, this makes me very, very happy. This will more than cover costs such as sorority rent, airline tickets for instructors, fees for underpaid contractors, pay for our staff (Leslie and Neile) and publicity.
Leslie said in addition to live rats, there were dead mice and rats in the walls of the sorority house. Plus, a dishwasher broke down and threw out sparks and the wireless connections were lousy. I really hope we can go back to our usual sorority house next year.
Thanks again for participating in the write-a-thon.

Susan!
Yeah, the food poisoning sucked.
The figures look great! I am happy to have done my small bit. :) Thank you for being the wonderful Treasurer.
Rats and mice in the walls, live and dead? UGH! I sure do hope you get back to the old sorority house! I feel very lucky about having been in the old one, not this new icky one.
Thanks for sponsoring me! I’ll let you see the story you’re in (aisde from the set-aside novel) just as soon as it’s presentable.
More info coming in an email, soon.
