Hurty Tummy

[spacebug]

My tummy doesn't like me today. I was late to work waiting around in hopes that it would expel whatever was making it so unhappy. Then I tried some tummy medicine, which didn't work either. (For the uninitiated, throwing up pepto bismol tablets is kind of a curious experience.)

Then I walked to work hoping the fresh air would make me feel better.
It was marginally successful, though I still don't know how much I'll actually get done today. I got myself some herbal tea with peppermint in it, and it seems to like that okay.
We're having a little chat about things, now.

"Was it the stir-fry? You've never been bothered by stir fry before. It was just enough spicy, only a 2 and a half. I know you can handle that. And it was vegan!"
*gurgle*
"How about the mango-lime juice? I admit, we've never tried a mango-lime combo before and it may have been a little cavalier, but you have handled both of those fruits separately quite admirably in the past."
*gurgle*
"The vodka? Heaven knows you've handled much more vodka than that one drink at one time before without complaint."
*gurgle*
"And really. I know they only come around once a year, but we introduced you to Girl Scout Cookies at a really, really early age. They shouldn't be a surprise."


Hope I'm feeling reliably okay by yoga time. I like yoga time and would rather not have it interrupted by a silly tummy.

mango-lime, "a little cavalier"?! that's just totally nutso!

I hope you get better. Tummy discomfort is my least favorite of all discomforts.

I didn't even mix it myself! It was pre-packaged and Dole-sanctioned! They called it a fiesta!

not that you asked, but i have the hurtiest of hurty tummies, and fiber tablets seem to fix it. just a thought. :)

Tell mr tummy to knock off all the whining and buck up! At least he gets food! There are thousands of starving little african tummies who don't get anything but sticky rice and dust.


But seriously, mango-lime? I'm with vaxjo on this one.
