What's up?

Nothing much except that I've been sick for the past three days and the weather's turning crummy again... A manifestation of the inner turmoil of my digestive system no doubt. Basically, two words, bad shellfish.

Wednesday night:
- Weather starts to turn cold and rainy. Here we go...
- Celebrated Libby's birthday with happy hour $2.50 mussels at The Earle and dinner at Grizzly Peak after. It was good while it lasted but tummy became queasy just as we got home.
-Knew something wasn't right, took some medication and went to bed early.

Thursday:
-Definitely something wrong. Couldn't sleep all night, tossed and turned in bed, all woozy and weak. Tummy was hurting like someone kicked me in the gut. Thankfully, no constant bathroom action, just aches and profuse cold sweat.
- Had half a bowl of chicken soup for lunch. Couldn't take much else.
- Dying for a cup of coffee, wrongdiagnosis.com says no. I always listen to the Internet of course...
- Had homemade pho for dinner. Actually felt slightly better. Then tummy started aching again after watching The Dave Chappelle Show. No connection I hope.

Friday
- Didn't sleep much better. Doses of Alka Seltzer didn't seem to be helping.
- Realized only other thing I can keep down apart from pho is nutella toast, and more nutella toast.
- Acquired new appreciation for sweetened milk tea. Infuse fruit or floral tea in half-cup of heated milk (microwave), top with hot water. Sweeten with honey. So soothing and comforting. Reminded me of how we used to take our tea at home.
- Whole body still feeling like jello. Spent the day watching the Food Network. Do you know that only onions grown in 22 counties in Georgia can be called Vidalia onions? Thanks Alton Brown!
- Discovered the miracle of Bismag. Popped two tablets and slept like a baby through the night. Tummy felt way better.

Saturday
- Maintained dosage of Bismag through the day. Felt better enough to help Jude massively clean the house. As in under-the-couch-between-the-window-sills-and-behind-the-shelves clean.
- Successfully drained my system enough to warrant an afternoon nap.
- Rewarded ourselves with Art School Confidential. Not much of a reward. Ghost World was much better.
- Weather just turned even more cold and wet. Darn...

Think I'm close to recovering completely. Sitting here with a steaming mug of milky sweet tea (I haven't had coffee in three days!!!), way past mignight (which I also haven't done in three days), and rushing a report for my professor. Yup, life's about back to normal again...
