missed work yesterday coz I felt sick... could've been my spending too much time outside in the cold on sunday, on the canal taking pictures. i stuck the pictures on my now picture blog on msn space. i was feeling a lot better in the afternoon after sleeping past noon. was going to go to work for a couple of hours but ended up just meeting up with mick at the cock and lion instead.

didn't play poker coz tonite was the permanency outting courtesy of the five newly promoted at work (thanx for the beer, etienne, roger, chris, sylvain and roy!). at one point we were talking about people with several food allergies which got us thinking that we might all be allergic to certain types of food to some degree without knowing it, which to some degree might affect our wellness, our mood, our concentration, and maybe (since I'm a gambling man), our luck.

this week i'm on a special veggie and white meat diet: spinach, corn, lettuce and apples, plus thoroughly cooked chicken and pork. forbidden are red meat, rare meat, innards, broccoli, cantiloupe, any root-based vegetables and sharp broken glass. .e  23:59
