Hurty Tummy
Mar. 7th, 2005 09:57 amMy 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.
