sick again

I felt it coming on, yesterday morning. I had it last year at this time, and in 2002. I get tired, and achy. My head hurts. Sometimes my throat hurts. It was worst in 2002. Last year and this year so far, have not been too bad. Except that the new twist this year is needing the toilet a lot. I hope this illness doesn't last a full week like it usually does - Christmas is only in four days.

Damn, I'm cold.

Shortly after I made that last post, I started feeling a lot worse. Then I kind of stabilized, and am not as bad off as I was then. Still, this is a sign that I'm in for the long haul with this one. And I brought a space-heater into the office, so I'm not as cold. Still achy, though.

My sister and her husband are sick. Sounds like it might be what I've got. I wonder who we picked it up from.

new layout

I just gave my journal a new look. I converted it to S2. This is the first time I've changed it since I got this journal. The only trouble I have with it is that I miss the nearly unique colors I assigned to all of you for my friends page. I left the comment pages alone, because I like the way they're set up - especially that you can comment while leaving the whole post up on your screen. And because it has the full menu at the top.

your height

Okay, at long last, here are the results of polling my friends about their heights. The results do not include one person who filled out my poll, whom I do not know. Okay, Considering that you can get the results by going to the poll, this post doesn't really tell you all that much, but I have broken it down by sex.

	Females	Males
5-0		1
5-1
5-2	1
5-3	1,2
5-4	1,2,3,4,5,6
5-5	1,2,3
5-6	1,2,3	1
5-7	1,2	1
5-8	1	1
5-9	1,2	1
5-10		1
5-11		1,2,3
6-0		1,2,3
6-1		1
6-2		1,2
6-3		1
6-4		1
6-5		1

As for my own height, I didn't know until recently, that I was 6'-2". The last time I was measured, it was 6'-1", so that's what I've always assumed. Recently, people have been telling me I must be taller than that, so I measured.

One of the tallest women on this chart has been known to tell Cyn and I how tall we are.
:-) Cyn is one of the two tallest woman on the chart. The other is the youngest.

I must say that I had always pictured i as being a lot shorter than he really is. I wonder why I thought that.

I know the heights of two more women on my friends list. I think they are both in the 5'-2" or under, crowd. I should know the height of one more, but I can't place it.

Female: average and median: 5'-5". 20 respondents
Male: average: 5'-11", median: 6'-0". 18 respondents
