I have been horribly, horribly thirsty for the past few days. My first thought was: well, I'm running more, so obviously I need more water. My second though was diabetes. But I'm also a bit of a hypochondriac, so I've decided just to drink water and wait for awhile.
And keep looking up diabetes symptoms online, even though I have been forbidden to use the internet for things unrelated to work.
By the way, I'm in the office until 5 tonight. Yes, I am.
Taking my internet away (and I had been abiding by this new rule, except for the diabetes scare, until I started this post) is absolutely crippling. Not just because I feel the need to send a constant stream of thoughts and ideas out into the void that is the interweb with the desperate hope of actually connecting with someone. I also need the information connection. I want access to news, opinions, literature, art, symptom lists, grammar, dictionaries. I want to be able to look up whatever obscure piece of trivia pops into my head while I'm typing up a list of plumbing equipment for a high school in Delaware.
And they are trying to take that away from me. They are stifling my thirst for knowledge.
Maybe that's why I've been drinking so much water lately.
But it's probably the running.

I've been drinking like a fish too. and I'm always hungy. And I've been losing weight. Oh dip-- maybe I do have diabetes. My way of diagnosing myself is to remember the symptoms Stacy had in The Baby Sitter's Club before she found out she had diabetes.
Hm. Maybe I should check with a doctor or something.
