Random Thoughts

So it's Wednesday and the week is halfway through- thank God for that. This week was really special since i woke up with the mother of all bladder infections on Monday. So back to the doctor i went (and i HATE going). This would be the second time i've peed in a cup in a week. As opposed to other weeks when....well, i guess i don't really pee in cups unless i'm at the doctors office and they want me to. Just in case you were wondering. (And if you were sitting there wondering something like that, i'm worried about you). So i'm now taking Cipro, (the same antibiotics they prescribed to people who were exposed to Anthrax a few years ago- very strong) and it's totally screwing up my stomach. That, along with various other meds...i swear i'm like an old person who carries around their "pill-organizer" pack (Mon, Tues, Wed, etc). I can't wait to see how i'll be when i'm 80, and i only hope i'm lucky enough to live that long.
Then last night, Jake and i were in the mood for tacos (and i never crave mexican food), so we made them and devoured them like no one's business. Less than an hour later, i'm curled up in our bed with THE worst stomach cramps, gas, bloating, cold sweat and later on, nausea. This lasted until about 3 this morning when i was finally able to go to sleep. GEEZ. I swear i will NEVER eat tacos again (or any mexican food for that matter...that was either a very mild case of food poisoning (which i doubt, because Jake wasn't sick) or the WORST indigestion i have ever had. No more. I'm closing the chapter for good on this one. "Yo quiero Gas-X" is all i have to say. Even today, i munched on dry toast, crackers and chicken noodle soup because my stomach still wasn't quite right. Although it did feel well enough later to eat oreos, so i guess i wasn't that bad off. Chocolate is always in style. Unfortunately, these were the regular oreos in the blue and white package...not the Spring Oreos or Double Stuff, which i've made a habit of eating rather than the regular ones since, i don't know, they came out with them. (And by the way, don't bother with the reduced fat ones....they're disgusting...you might as well eat a piece of cardboard). I had asked Jake to pick up something chocolate for me at the store when he went on the taco ingredient trip last night, and i'm so grateful that he knows me well enough to not get me chocolate pudding. Anyway, my point is...given the choice between no oreos and the very-thin-almost-no-cream-in-the-middle-cookie-falls-apart-when-you-dip-it-in-the-milk oreos, i would choose the latter. But they pale in comparison to the double stuff oreos. Sometimes a girl just wants a little bit more in the middle. (ironically though, only when it comes to these cookies).
I told you this would be random...
