God help me.

I've been feeling a little under the weather lately. Last night I had the Debbie Gibsons* for like, three hours straight. My stomach still hurt when I got up this morning, but about a half an hour ago the hungry feelings started to outweigh the churny, crampy feelings, so I decided to go into the kitchen and make something to eat. We were out of town this weekend and haven't had a chance yet to make a real grocery run, so we're out of a lot of the more comforting foods: no crackers, no eggs, no salad, etc. I guess I have bread, rice, and bananas, but I don't feel like tasting bananas, I don't have anything to put on a sammie (and I don't want toast), and I didn't feel like making rice. So what did I do? I decided to reheat some left over curry, and eat that. without rice.

It's a red curry, so it's not like, tooooo spicy, but it definitely burns going down. And there's no meat in it to dilute the spiciness; just kidney beans and chickpeas. It's so tasty though. Man I love curry. I've had terrible heartburn for the last few days too, but I don't even care. Bring it. I need my spicy food.

I just hope it doesn't make me sick again. And I hope that if my recent "issues" have been due to pregnancy, I don't have these gi issues for the whole first trimester. Because I'm really not good at avoiding foods just because they upset my stomach. And for those of you out there who are like, "But what about dairy?!? You're insanely irritating in your refusal to consume dairy!!!" Dairy does not just "upset my stomach." It upsets my everything. And what it does to my stomach makes the Debbie Gibsons look like a day at the spa. SO THERE.


* Our friend Tony's grandma called diarrhea "the gibsons" when he was growing up, so naturally Brett and I also call diarrhea "the gibsons," because it's hilarious. We also call it a lot of other things. But when diarrhea is especially painful and explosive, we upgrade it to "the Debbie Gibsons."
