The world is a cruel and terrible mistress... like me

Ok... so I'm not a happy person at the moment.

I woke up yesterday morning at 5:34am... which I never do. I have to be at work by 8am, which means I wake up at 7am, I get ready by 7:30am and I drive the two miles to work. I'm a person who is easily prepped and ready for her day. However, yesterday threw me a curve...

My alarm clock was not the standard Amanda Palmer's "Oasis"... not it was a churning feeling of nausea. Which rendered me incapable of going to work... because my head was fast becoming friends with my toilet. I had to call into work and I spent the next 4 hours vomiting and becoming very close to my bathroom... we shared things I will never share with any other human (trust me they don't want to see it). After that... I decided to get up and move to the floor in the living area of my flat: where I promptly collapsed and began to watch NCIS, not moving at all.

It was great... until I started cramping. That was about 7:50pm. It was then that I realized my affliction: FOOD POISONING! Of all things in the world... food poisoning. I was then rendered to my bathroom again... from about 8:15pm until midnight... I swear, I'm going to never walk into that room just because of embarassment.

However, that is karma. I think life was having one of its comedic moments, and I was the butt of the joke. Sigh... I did not enjoy it, but I'm back to feeling better and I wish to give you a standard nugget of my wisdom: When in doubt of a food's constitution, or it's affects on your constitution... throw it out.

Word of the day: CONstitution - The opposite of PROstitution.

I try to make my stories fun for the whole family! ^_^

Glad you enjoyed it... and funny thing: my leftovers tasted as they should have! I don't know what really caused it! (I never thought two day old leftovers would turn like that... but who knows?) Anyhow! I'm better but still leery of anything that isn't freshly cooked... you know the feeling? XD

Sheesh . . . that's just one hell of a bad evening, sorry to hear that :(

haha... we take what is given. For instance... I went and saw Public Enemies tonight... it wasn't as good as I thought it would be. Johnny Depp was amazing, but the writing... subpar. I was expecting it to be a far more engaging movie than it was... and there was one scene where I kid you know, they shot over three hundred bullets and no one was hit--much less died. So boring.

Blackharrier32 2009-07-25 20:53:00

What, really? Dang, I was looking forward to that, I think Depp and Bale are both great actors and Mann is a brilliant director, that's a real shame that it's let down by the writing. The scene with the 300 bullets and no-one dying sounds a bit like the A-Team with the humour, the flipping jeeps and the Mr T removed.

MagicalSarai 2009-07-25 20:53:00

That scene could have used Mr. T... and perhaps a few other humorous moments... rather than a whole bunch of "Where is Dillinger?!" Bale's performance was pretty much the same as his performance in Terminator Salvation, but with a very bad accent, which is funny at times.

sometimes I wonder if I am immune to food based inflictions

I have only gotten sick once because of food, and that was when I was young

I was very sick for week, and then I was fine

since then I have eaten food that probably should have killed me, but did not

I often had to endure the poor cooking of my family when I was young

we were poor, but we did our best

I sometimes cook things that I think would kill a normal person... and then my friends eat it and they are all impressed. It's the curse of being an experimenting chef! You never know if something is going to taste good, and you don't know how long it will last without becoming toxic! XD

I still enjoy cooking! I don't think I'll ever be able to stop
