6:05 pm - Tuesday 21st May 2001

Once upon a time there was a girl called Steph who had a prized brain. Then stress and flu came along and stole her brain away…

Down and then up and then down and then up and then down. I so don't need this shit.

Wake up. Uncomfortable underwear. Off to work. Headache and flu. Noisy people. Can't find chemicals. Home to take medications. Coffee with Red. Better. Lunch. Feeling sicker. Get results finally. Coffee with Peta. Light and laughter. Ask favor. Go for drive. Forget address. Feel guilty. Get home. Collapse. Hope to get better.

8:08 pm - A true friend is someone who won't say "Ewww" when you confess to how long it's really been since you washed your hair.
