yesterday's little downer
So, I think I've found the solution to why I was upset yesterday.
Vitamin C overdose.
Yeah. It's the only plausible explanation.
I could go with the full moon explanation that Lauren used, but that wouldn't be creative of me at all, now would it?
Within six hours (between 3:00 and 9:00 pm), I ate four oranges. That's about one slice every nine minutes to every eleven minutes, 15 seconds. That's about 160 mg of Vitamin C.
Sure, that's not even close to the 18,000 mg that Dr. Linus Pauling would intake daily, but it's more than I'm used to. [On a side note - and Gimbel was obsessed with this man?]
I also drank two glasses of cranberry juice, which is obviously is a good source of Vitamin C (about 75 mg each).
That brings my grand total of Vitamin C intake for yesterday to 310 mg. The recommended daily intake for women is 75 mg. I've done my research. :)
I do have another theory though - people are just bastards.
Nope, that can't be the explanation. Must be those damn oranges and cranberry juice. :)
And another side note - I realized that the post I made about Michael from Lost (and his portrayal of Mercutio) the first time (previous to the icon post) was labeled as "Private." Don't know why I did that. I guess I don't hate you after all. H e r e ' s the linky if you feel compelled to see it. Hoorah.
