I Aten’t Dead
No, indeed, although feeling not far off. I have some sort of tummy bug and thus, have spent most of the week singing in to my toilet. The doctor has given me useless sympathy and tablets, although I can’t say as they’re working. I’m finding it hard to sit at a computer screen for significant periods of time because I end up feeling dizzy which leads to… more sickness, yay!
Obviously this means little or no responding to e-mails, q*bee activities are on hold, bug tweaks of NinjaLinks are going no where fast (although I did fix a bug when adding a category, in a moment of weakness — and to stop the flurry of e-mails!) etc etc.
And cookies if you get the subject reference.
Warning
This post is over 6 months old. This means that, despite my best intentions, it may no longer be accurate. Age, motherhood, experience, loss... these things have all changed me from when this blog was started back in the heady (ha) days of my youth.
As much as I would like to go back and edit 10 years of archives to provide an insight into the 'me' of now — to update coding snippets and revise website advice — it would probably take years to do so (by which point I'd have to start again!) This would defeat the point of keeping these archives anyway.
Please take these posts for what they are: a brief look into my past, my history, my journey.

Wow,
that’s awful ):I had a similar bug about two weeks ago,
and my mom had it last week,
and now we’re gutting out our bathroom and getting a new one ! :DSo I’m quite happy for this stomach bug.
-
how could I subscribe to your blog??
-
^ There’s a subscription link under the search box on the front page…
@Jem: Feel better soooooon :)
-
I wish you lots of recovery (so that you can come back and entertain us with pants awards and British insults, of course).
-
I hope you get better soon! I just had my flu shot, so hopefully I won’t get anything like that. :X
-
Aww, I hope you well very soon!
-
No cookies for me, but get better soon!
-
Ugh, I also had the flu-ish-type-thing this week. It was hell. HELL. I hope you get better soon. I’ve been able to eat today, so I’m pleased with my progress. :P Here’s hoping the same for you!
-
I hope you feel better soon! *EVERYONE* seems to be sick right now, myself included. :( I don’t get particularly dizzy whenever I’m at the computer, but rather, whenever I try to move LOL … But yeah, just take it easy, get lots of rest (easier said than done, of course), drink lots of water to replace fluids you lose and you’ll be back to normal in no time. :)
-
Where should I send suggestions? *sheepish grin*
-
I hope you feel better soon, Jem :)
-
Feel better! Drink lots of tea and soup. :)
-
Get better soon, Jem!
And sneaky you, trying to stick Discworld references in your posts.
-
I’m sure you will feel better soon Jem (or at least I hope you do) *hugs*
-
Get better soon! It really is going around at the moment but I’m pretty sure that isn’t a consolation if you have to run to the toilet all the time.
-
Aw, sorry you’re sick Jem! Feel better soon. :)
-
I’m sure it’ll pass soon enough. <3
-
Hope you get better soon Jem. :)
-
Feel better soon, Jem!
-
“Clam Banana”?
Haha, you’d better fix that.
Bleh – I hate getting sick. -
Your stomach fails at life :P
I’ll patch your ninja drivel if you like..
Foward the emails of doom and anything thats #1 priority i’ll have a loksee at.I still have to write my plugin for it.. damn my lazyness.
Hope you feel better soon *huggles*
-
I hope you feel better soon. Stomach sicknesses are the absolute worst. :( *sends healing vibes your way*
-
Aw, get better soon, Jem! —<-@
-
Tummy bug… or cooking a bun in the oven? Hummmmm??? Hhaha..
I hope your going to stop being sick soon. Sick is unpleasant! Bleuuugh!!
-
I hope you get feeling better soon.
-
*sends lots of glares to stomach bug* I’m told I can alienate people… maybe I can alienate stomach bugs as well ;)
Get well soon! :)
-
so, no-one’s gone for the cookies yet. Knowing you it’s either a Simpsons reference or a Pratchett one, and it ain’t the first. Plus google says so, haha
-
^ Someone already got the Pratchett reference… I don’t do Pratchett so I didn’t get it, but apparently it’s what Granny Weatherwax puts up when she’s off taking over people’s bodies or whatever. (I could be wrong. It was explained to me in great detail and I have forgotten most of it)
-
haha at you lol. ok well i know thats not fun being sick. but yea well hope u get well soon!
-
Feel better soon, Jem. I’ve been sick too lately and it sucks.
-
I certainly hope you recover soon, so you can post again and make my day. (Selfish reasons all the way!) Tell your doctor to make you better.
-
It’s been bugging me for “ages” and I only just realized. IT’S A DISCWORLD REFERENCE! *phew* Now I can sleep easily again, you quoted the “card” that granny Weatherwax holds, while she’s out borrowing. :D
-
Get well soon, Jem.
:3 -
I hope you feel better soon Jem.
-
Feel better soon, fruitcake!
-
I don’t know if you’ve seen this yet, but:
-
I love the roundness of this layout…and the colors are so calming. Although the site title image seems kind of random; what’s with the ninja?
And the drop shadow on the text looks a little strange. -
Hope your feeling much better after your tummy bug. They’re proper nasty. What I hate is when people have colds and come into college (or high school for Americans) while they’re ill. I always end up catching their cold! I must have a weak immune system or something haha. :)
-
Are you dead NOW?! :o
-
STOP BEING SICK. :( Blog or something!! IRC IRC IRC! :(
*hopes you’re ok*
-
Second both previous comments. :(
-
She’s still not dead. Just sofa-bound, food regurgitating and without even the energy to come upstairs to the laptop. Or even to start mine, next to the sofa..
-
Ding-Dong the witch is dead… Just kidding. Hope you get better soon :)
-
@ Karl – That must suck terribly. Hope she gets well soon. =(
-
@Karl: But… it’s been weeks! Has she been to the doctor? SHE HAS TO GET BETTER SOON!!! DON’T DIE, JEMMIE, MY LOVEEEEE!!!!! :’(
-
I am starting to shudder without my jemjabella fix – it’s like, withdrawal symptoms or something… aahhh
get well soon please jem, for the good of humanity.
-
Oh! :( I hope she gets better soon. Well, now, actually.
-
P.S. We know someone is really sick when she doesn’t have the energy to use her laptop.
-
Get better soon. :)
-
Hope you get better soon Jem. You are missing a lot, and we are missing you!
-
Hope you’re feeling better by now :(
-
almost 2 weeks now. are you alive?
-
err, i just saw this now! *hugs* feel better soon if you’re not better already!
-
Still sick?? It’s been weeks now. What’s wrong? Aw boo. At least you have the energy to tell Karl to let your readers know how you are… or did he do that by himself?
Again – get well very soon.
-
I hope you feel better :’(
-
Feel better, Jem. :(
-
I am now quite positively sick of you being sick! haha, awww I hope everything is OK – you’ve been away weeks now I am hoping it is nothing serious?
-
I’ve been continuously stalking you on Google Reader … and noticed that what is usually an almost daily update is now … half a month ago.
I miss you and your updates, and I hope you’re feeling better. (: Lots of warm water and vitamin C helps! ;)
-
It’s certainly been a while since your last entry! I hope you get better soon. :)
-
This is becoming crazy! I do hope you’re okay. I know you were kicking around with Rachael last week. So, that’s good I guess…
-
I know its gone south when you’ve stopped replying to my emails, Miss…
-
You have very good humor! But I hope that you get better. There is nothing worst than the stomach flu or bug. I had it once and I was throwing up anything that I put in my mouth! :( Sorry if too much info. Hope you get better soon!
