You'd think I'd learn this by now

fatrockstarI am AGAIN recovering from food poisoning. My last bout of it sent me to the ER in February after eating the cherry that topped off my fancy restaurant hot chocolate. I knew better than to eat it after seeing the girl fish it out of the container with her bare hands, but was stupid. Campylobacter infections are painful, and there is no treatment other than forced rehydration and to let it run its course.
This time around I ate something that produced awful side effects, but luckily no trip to the ER this time. Just like my previous incident, I knew something wasn't quite right about its preparation but ate it anyway. I consider myself fortunate that my body is healthy enough to know when and how to get rid of poison, even if I have to suffer for it to do so.
So now I sit here, not really able to eat much, but feeling a lot better anyway.
It's very quiet here right now. The sun is shining in from the sliding glass door, and a raccoon is watching me from the fence. Grady is avoiding me. I need to clean up around here. It's been too long since I've been strong enough to do that, or since I've had time.
More things go up on Craigslist today. Wish me luck. I have sold only one thing there, ever.
