Here's some advice: don't eat sandwiches that have mayonnaise on them when you've left them in the car for a couple of hours. This is one of those NO DUH pieces of advice that I totally failed to follow. Yesterday I bought a yummy patty melt from Sonic, but then I went to pick Alex up from my parents' house (where he has been spending A LOT of time lately), and I left the sandwich in the car, thinking I'd just be a few minutes. Minutes turned into hours before I found myself headed home again. To make a long story short, I was hungry at about 9 p.m., so I started to eat this patty melt, since it was readily available. And honestly, I'd forgotten it had mayo on it, so it's not like I made a conscious decision to poison myself, especially since Alex had a bit of the sandwich too. WELL, today I couldn't quite get out of bed. I had a horrible headache and my stomach was doing flips and turns and other things it shouldn't have been doing. I hardly ate anything today (two chicken nuggets, a cup of lemonade, some water, and a toaster strudel, which I'm hoping I'll be able to keep down), and my stomach is making those loud growls I'm all too familiar with. They're the growls of post-really-bad-upset-stomach. I'm pretty sure it was the sandwich that made me sick today. Either that or my being really upset that my paper STILL hasn't been written or turned in. Either way, be sure to heed my advice. I hate to admit it, but George may have a valid argument when he doesn't want me to eat stuff that's been sitting out more than 15 minutes.
