Don't eat salad...

I had one last night and I've had an unhappy stomach ever since. That's with me washing it and with a dressing of oil and vinegar. I don't know what the problem is, but it made me a very uncomfortable mess much of the night and today. I'm just now beginning to feel better. So much for healthy eating. From now on it's nuke everything.

I did input the changes I'd done for the first two chapters of OT. That's where most of the reworking is, right now, so I plan to print those pages up and do another pass at the story. Funny...I cut left and right, but added in...so I'm still at the same page count. That's the way it works, sometimes; the story determines its own length.

I think I'm still repeating information that does not need to be repeated, but we'll see how it goes after next week. I finally understand what the story's about -- abandonment. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out, now.

I may take a sketch book with me on this set of packing jobs. My fingers are itching to do some scribbling, and doodling on my desktop calendar just don't hack it. But I'm also going to carrying 20 pounds worth of paperwork...so I dunno...

Still not feeling up to anything much...

What a strange coincident. I had the same thing happened to me on Monday. I had a salad for lunch and it was downhill from there. I just got my appetite back today.

Hmm...I wonder if it's something catching. Whatever it is, tomorrow lunch AND dinner get well-nuked. It's damned irritating.
