Food Poisoning...and Lack of Comfort Food

It finally happened...and I'm not really able to pinpoint the blame.  It could have been due to heavy drinking two out of the four previous nights.  It could have been due to a heaping portion of street food that I had just eaten.  Or it could have been due to the 2 hours of sleep that I'd gotten the night before.  But whatever the reason...the result is the same. 

Fucking miserable.

But compared to other two times I've had food poisoning, it was a walk in the park.  After about 12 hours, 6 vomits, and a couple of bottles of Gatorade...I had made it through the worst.  For the next 24 hours, I laid in bed and watched a mix of Curb, The Wire, Starcraft II videos, and Seinfeld.  It was a bit too much television, but it got me through.

The most disturbing part of the ordeal was my inability to have all that comfort food that is generally so readily available for me.  You know...aside from rice.  Luckliy, Dane had purchased some somewhat-normal bread from the French supermarket, Auchan.  Auchan is absolutely enormous.  And nothing about it seems French to me.  Although that's a bit unfair considering they would have to have pictures of baguettes and The Eiffel Tower all over their walls to seem French to me.

So I settled.  Some weird black bread and Gatorade would have to do.  The Gatorade tasted mostly the same, with the small difference certainly being due to the lack of high fructose corn syrup.

I hate not knowing who's on the Gatorade bottle...but whoever he is...he looks pissed.

I used to have a system!  I started off with a slice of bread, possibly toasted.  I'd transition into some toast with a bit of butter.  And then the final step of my gastrointestinal rehab...a piece of toast with a slice of turkey on top.  The final step is not so easy to assemble when a Publix isn't around the corner.

But this is okay.  I just have to prepare for the future.  I'll simply start stocking up on (non-perishable) comfort foods for the next time that I fall prey to some evil bacteria.  And then I'll be prepared.

Or I should get more sleep and not drink so much.  Heh.
