Just a little food poisoning…

I imagined that the first unfortunate tale I’d have to tell about life here is that I got hit by a car, as it seems like that could happen pretty easily at times. Thankfully, this is a simple tale about a little food poisoning.

Some friends and I went for dinner last night at a hotel and we totally caved and got the buffet. It was pretty delicious and I made some new friends at the chocolate fondue station – two Filipino kids about 5 and 8 years old! This was pretty fantastic as I really miss getting to hang out with kids and get to know families like back home at the Y.

It was all going great until I finished eating and felt disgustingly full! Dang buffets! Dang self-control! I felt gross the entire way home and decided to go to bed at about 10, hoping it would all be gone by morning…

I suppose you could say it was all gone by morning - after being awake sick for 2 hours in the middle of the night. I promised I would refrain from telling too many details, but I vomit like every 5 years or something crazy like, so that’s got to make the news. And it sure made things feel better.

On the bright side, I’ve never had food poisoning before, so now I can say that I have ;) and it’s better that so much food is not sitting inside of me anyways! Other than a few gurgles here and there, I was mostly feeling better by morning – at least enough to go to a Christmas Bazaar to do a little shopping, games, colouring, wine tasting and a special photo with Santa! Can’t be too bad.
