Warning: Don't Read If Easily Disgusted
Okay, I won't be THAT graphic but last night I was ill. Very ill. I really don't know what to blame it on as I think it was a multi-vector illness.First, I had Kentucky Fried Chicken chicken for lunch, which put a fair amount of grease into my stomach. Second, I've become addicted to Altoids mixed with Everest powerful mint gum - which is so small I easily swallow it without thinking. Third, Yesterday I barely drank anything and seeing I am easily dehydrated and I barely maintain a normal level of hydration, this is a bad thing. Fourth, I got home and drank a hard cider that had been frozen and not thoroughly thawed, and as everyone knows, alcohol freezes at a very very low temperature, any liquid I was initially drinking from the bottle was probably pure alcohol. The end result is something I can only call (this is where it gets graphic so reader discretion is advised) vomiting out my ass. Not diarhea, though that was a factor, but that spasmodic feeling you get in your stomach when you throw up. At the end of it, I was suffering kind of a dry heave effect. It was very disconcerting. I cleaned up and stumbled into the bedroom to read my comic book purchases around 8:00pm and discovered at 10:00pm that I had fallen asleep. I got up briefly, left the bedroom and the air conditioning only the be hit by this wall of superheated air. It nearly knocked my to the floor. I stumbled back into the bedroom, took off my shoes and clothes and called it a night. I was so sick that I knew I had to get into work today because I needed full air conditioning instead of air conditioning just in one room. That is sick - on many levels. I feel kind of okay right now. For some ungodly reason at the el station I bought a bottle of Mountain Dew. I guess I really needed a caffeine boost, but soda in the morning makes me feel gross. So here I am, recovering from last night, eating altoids, feeling like a balloon. Somebody pop me.
