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.

    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 ! :D

    So I'm quite happy for this stomach bug.

    I wish you lots of recovery (so that you can come back and entertain us with pants awards and British insults, of course).

  5. Vasili   October 18th, 2008 [gravatar]

    I hope you get better soon! I just had my flu shot, so hopefully I won't get anything like that. :X

  6. Julia   October 18th, 2008 [gravatar]

    Aww, I hope you well very soon!

  7. Amanda   October 18th, 2008 [gravatar]

    No cookies for me, but get better soon!

  8. Aisling   October 18th, 2008 [gravatar]

    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*

  11. C. Hal   October 19th, 2008 [gravatar]

    I hope you feel better soon, Jem :)

  12. Aimée   October 19th, 2008 [gravatar]

    Get better soon, Jem!

    And sneaky you, trying to stick Discworld references in your posts.

  14. Mumblies   October 19th, 2008 [gravatar]

    I'm sure you will feel better soon Jem (or at least I hope you do) *hugs*

  15. Chans   October 19th, 2008 [gravatar]

    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.

  16. Arwen   October 19th, 2008 [gravatar]

    Aw, sorry you're sick Jem! Feel better soon. :)

  17. Stephanie   October 19th, 2008 [gravatar]

    I'm sure it'll pass soon enough. <3

    "Clam Banana"?
    Haha, you'd better fix that.
    Bleh - I hate getting sick.

  21. Mat   October 20th, 2008 [gravatar]

    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*

  22. Chrissy   October 20th, 2008 [gravatar]

    I hope you feel better soon. Stomach sicknesses are the absolute worst. :( *sends healing vibes your way*

  23. Noellium   October 20th, 2008 [gravatar]

  24. Carly   October 20th, 2008 [gravatar]

    Tummy bug... or cooking a bun in the oven? Hummmmm??? Hhaha..

    I hope your going to stop being sick soon. Sick is unpleasant! Bleuuugh!!

  25. Erin   October 20th, 2008 [gravatar]

    I hope you get feeling better soon.

  26. Vera   October 21st, 2008 [gravatar]

    *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! :)

  27. Katy   October 21st, 2008 [gravatar]

    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

  28. Amelie   October 21st, 2008 [gravatar]

    ^ 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)

  29. terry   October 21st, 2008 [gravatar]

    haha at you lol. ok well i know thats not fun being sick. but yea well hope u get well soon!

  30. Chantelle   October 22nd, 2008 [gravatar]

    Feel better soon, Jem. I've been sick too lately and it sucks.

  31. Rose   October 22nd, 2008 [gravatar]

    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.

  32. Vera   October 22nd, 2008 [gravatar]

    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

  33. Kristina   October 22nd, 2008 [gravatar]

    Get well soon, Jem.
    :3

  34. Anna Kirstin   October 24th, 2008 [gravatar]

    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.

  38. Larissa   October 25th, 2008 [gravatar]

    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. :)

  39. Aisling   October 27th, 2008 [gravatar]

    Are you dead NOW?! :o

  40. Melissa   October 27th, 2008 [gravatar]

    STOP BEING SICK. :( Blog or something!! IRC IRC IRC! :(

    *hopes you're ok*

  41. Julie   October 27th, 2008 [gravatar]

    Second both previous comments. :(

  42. Karl   October 28th, 2008 [gravatar]

    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..

  43. donnie   October 28th, 2008 [gravatar]

    Ding-Dong the witch is dead... Just kidding. Hope you get better soon :)

  44. Roxanne   October 28th, 2008 [gravatar]

    @ Karl - That must suck terribly. Hope she gets well soon. =(

  45. Aisling   October 28th, 2008 [gravatar]

    @Karl: But... it's been weeks! Has she been to the doctor? SHE HAS TO GET BETTER SOON!!! DON'T DIE, JEMMIE, MY LOVEEEEE!!!!! :'(

  46. Carly   October 28th, 2008 [gravatar]

    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.

  47. Julie   October 28th, 2008 [gravatar]

    Oh! :( I hope she gets better soon. Well, now, actually.

  48. Julie   October 28th, 2008 [gravatar]

    P.S. We know someone is really sick when she doesn't have the energy to use her laptop.

  49. Annie   October 29th, 2008 [gravatar]

    Get better soon. :)

  50. Ben   October 29th, 2008 [gravatar]

    Hope you get better soon Jem. You are missing a lot, and we are missing you!

  51. Nyx   October 29th, 2008 [gravatar]

    Hope you're feeling better by now :(

  52. Sara   October 31st, 2008 [gravatar]

    almost 2 weeks now. are you alive?

  53. Christine   October 31st, 2008 [gravatar]

    err, i just saw this now! *hugs* feel better soon if you're not better already!

  54. Tracy   November 1st, 2008 [gravatar]

    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.

  55. Bubs   November 1st, 2008 [gravatar]

    I hope you feel better :'(

  56. Alyssa   November 2nd, 2008 [gravatar]

    Feel better, Jem. :(

  57. Carly   November 2nd, 2008 [gravatar]

    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?

  58. Brenda   November 2nd, 2008 [gravatar]

    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! ;)

  59. Vitalis   November 3rd, 2008 [gravatar]

    It's certainly been a while since your last entry! I hope you get better soon. :)

  60. Aisling   November 3rd, 2008 [gravatar]

    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...

  61. Stephanie   November 3rd, 2008 [gravatar]

    I know its gone south when you've stopped replying to my emails, Miss...

  62. Sara   November 5th, 2008 [gravatar]

    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!
