Poll: Sense and sensibility

Jun 21, 2007 12:26

So I've just come to work for the first full day since Friday, having been out Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday with the worst sickness I've had since mononucleosis laid me low for three weeks in college. Nausea, vomiting, all kinds of bad news from the bowels. The stomach pain became so intolerable on Tuesday that I had to "borrow" a Percoset to make it through the night--an illegal act that I do not condone but cannot make myself regret. Not sure how to feel about that.

Anyway, today I managed to have half a bowl of oatmeal and a piece of toast for breakfast. I started to have more but something inside just said "no." I felt it wise to listen.

And so just now, at work, I shyly approached the cafeteria to see if there was anything I thought I could stomach. And what did I come away with? A giant hunk of prime rib au jus with horseradish, broccoli, and a baked potato slathered in butter and sour cream. The last few bites of prime rib were eaten in a hurry because I was worried that I might decide it wasn't a good idea.

And now, as I await the aftermath, here's where I need your help. It seems that once again a phrase I want to use does not have a definitive conclusion. So please tell me, what is it that I don't have the sense God gave?
