Overindulgence @ MindSay

What on earth did I eat or drink that is causing me such pain???  Prolly overindulgence.

Last night, hubby and I finally had a Date.  It was nice.  He's been doing 12 hr shifts of late because the Mgr has "issues" to deal with right now.  I understand.  The guy has family to deal with and family comes first.  He's also been pretty good about giving DH days he needs for our stuff going on.

We went to Black Angus for dinner.  Steak of the filet kind seems to agree with me.  I've been keeping away from large amounts of fats and goo that could cause me symptoms.  But last night, I cut loose a bit.  I had the chocolate cake with ice  cream for dessert.  For dinner, I was good.  I had salad with dressing on the side (they had no lo-fat, so I got italian), a filet-medium, rice pilaf and steamed veggies, only 1 piece of the molasses bread. 

I've noticed that no matter what I eat, I feel the same afterwards.  Now, to specify, I do not do acidic stuff or stuff that is hugely full of saturated fat.  So, in a fit of deprived taste buds and maybe a more significant mental lapse, I had the dessert.  It was GOOD.  Good, good good!  (although it was the salad that gave me awful burps later)

But perhaps I'm paying for it now.  I've had abdominal cramps (7ish on a scale of 1-10) and the runs.  It was so bad on onset that I thought I was going to cry/barf/call the Dr.  That's when the pains went to 8.5 and were damn near constant.  That was Not Good!

I've had nothing to eat since, and only water  to drink.  I've not taken anything as I hope whatever is pissing off my GI tract will work it's way out faster.  I'm still pained this morning (6), but since I started taking my fioricet at around midnight, I'm feeling better.  Maybe  it's air from the endo trying to work it's way out?  One can only hope.  I think it was last night's overindulgence.  Who knows?  I'm not nauseaous like with food poisoning (thank gods!). 

I hope to gods I'm better by tomorrow morning.  The schedule is absolutely awful and I'd hate to leave my coworkers in the lurch again.  I could give a rats about the Dr, but I feel bad for the other ladies.  And I also have a bit of a selfish want of being well again... 

We also went to see a movie for our Date.  "Music and Lyrics"  If you want something cute and fluffy, go see it.  I Loved it!  Love Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore!!! <3  Hubby was less sure about whether he wanted to see it, but he was humoring me.  Turns out he loved it as well.  :)  He even wants to get the soundtrack.

There was a preview for a new Sandra Bullock movie.  I think it was called Premonition...  Maybe not.  It looked very interesting and I just <3 her.  Also a preview for "Amazing Grace" with Ioan Gruffudd.

How can they talk about hiking gas prices when the hurricane hasn't even made land yet?  WTF?  Tell me big oil companies don't price gouge and I'll tell you you're living on crack!       

We took Sis out for dinner tonight.  She was feeling pretty yucky today.  After all the crap last night with the gas and all.  She didn't sleep much and had alot of nausea from the fumes in her room (she said she couldn't sleep in the livingroom).  Not a good birthday for her.  Poor thing.  I understand shitty birthdays.  So sis and I drank and ate to excess.  I'm sooooo full!  Not cool.  But the strawberry daiqiris were lovely!  :)  I hope the outting made her feel a bit better about her birthday.

Gonna sleep now.  I hope everyone in the Gulf stays safe and well.
