Pic of the day: We know that feeling. Not good.

Short: Sick

I was sick for a while today. It felt like a moderate fat poisoning - cold, shivering, slight queasiness, brief but intense bowel movements, followed by drowsiness. Very standard except it was milder than usual. I got on my exercise bike as soon as I felt it was beginning, hoping to combat it with the warmth from my exercise (heat is the only thing known to stop these attacks once the fat is eaten). It may have helped a bit, but not enough to fully ward it off.

The strange thing is that I don't remember having eaten enough fat for such an attack. But I may have gotten used to a higher tolerance during the heat of summer.

After I woke up again from the forced sleep that follows the attack, I made the mistake of drinking the half glass of cola I had begun, and eating a small piece of chocolate. My bowels were not pleased and showed it for a while. Then again, they sometimes will even if I don't eat after an attack. It seems the short but intense contractions of the intestines are sending contents up and down in the system to places where they are not supposed to be at that stage, causing irritation.

Anyway, that was the most exciting thing today. I also finished my sims screenshots for the week but did not finish the write-up. It will be up Monday night.
