I totally chundered in my Mom’s car last night. I’d been feeling queasy all afternoon, went down for a three-hour nap, and I could feel it coming. Nausea. It was getting late and I had to get home, so I grabbed two plastic shopping bags and a bottle of water and we braved the highway. Sure enough, just as we were getting onto the 427, puke-o-rama.<\/p>\n
I think this might be my body’s way of protesting it’s cold-turkey cut-off from caffeine and sugar. Movies like ‘Trainspotting’ have taught me that hurling is a totally natural reaction to detox from addictive substances, and if my five-cups-of-tea-with-sugar-and-a-chocolatey-baked-good-item-a-day habit isn’t an addiction, then I don’t know what is. <\/p>\n
So far, this South Beach thing isn’t feeling so good, but it seems oddly productive. I feel more energized (when I’m not sleeping or regurgitating partly-digested food), and my profile seems less puffy.<\/p>\n
In other news, while garage saling yesterday, Mom and I bought her an abdominal exercise machine for $10, me a really nice blazer for $10, Justin a weed-whacker, a fingerprint kit, and a Transformers desk set for $8, and a hardcover book on the history of the Samurai for JVL’s dad for $2. There were other items: books, candle holders, the usual chatchkas, but nothing I can think of in the grogginess of the morning.<\/p>\n
Peace out, enjoy your long weekend, kids.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
