Whine

[sincerely_moi]

I had the most marvelous day today that involved going out on the bayou with a bunch of friends and came home so sunburned and exhausted that I could barely speak but I was only able to fall asleep for about an hour because of acid reflux. I woke up wanting to puke and the only way I feel good is to sit straight up in bed. I suspect this is because we ate hot dogs and chicken (a lot of meat, bah, it was really good but in hindsight wasn't the best option for me), drank a bit of alcohol, and I recently stopped taking the Nexium. Nexium is pretty strong and I didn't want to become dependant on it and screw up my stomach even more. But I can't really take acid reflux medications to relieve temporary reflux because it takes time for those things to build up in your system so I am at a loss. I refuse to live my life popping Tums every other hour but I obviously cannot live with this pukey feeling and the chest pain of death. I suppose I could modify my diet (which I have...lots of sandwiches and soups and lean means and not as much caffeine or acidicy stuff) but that is inconveinant in situations where I don't have the opportunity to make my own lunches...

I'm also going to have to stop drinking alcohol altogether soon because I can't handle the stomach queasiness the day afterwards. Oh well.

Thanks, Dad, for giving me your horrible stomach issues.

Nevertheless, today was awesome :).
