December Delights - 19 December 2015

Much love to all who expressed concern for my welfare in yesterday's post. I have come to realise it's a bit of a dodgy 'holiday tummy'. Probably too many rich foods and too many unusual dishes being sampled in the past few days. I still feel a little yuck, but it's recognisable yuck. The twinges have all but gone, and that feeling of just a gippy tummy remain. In other words, self-inflicted. I've had a cup of tea with some sugared ginger and cinammon simple syrup, and hopefully that will settle things down. I don't feel like I"m going to be ill; it's just feels heavy and bloated.

TheHubs™ and I did a bit of Christmas shopping today, and plan to do more on Monday. The mall wasn't too bad, actually - not nearly as wild as I had anticipated. I managed to get him what I believe is a good present - but the receipt is safely tucked away in case it isn't.

While shopping I heard someone call my name, and it turned out to be a friend I hadn't seen since high school. It was nice catching up and somewhat better that we didn't resort to solely discussing 'old days'. We actually talked about life as it is now. I am only in touch with a couple of people from high school, so it was nice to be able to speak as adults, not people reliving some sort of ersatz glory days of youth.

I'm hoping the old stomach calms down - I don't really feel all that great (no fever or vomiting or anything serious), but on the other hand it's just a bad gut from too much food, so I'll just have to ride it out and drink more water. I do have lots to do between now and next Thursday, so I'd dearly love to feel like doing it instead of dragging myself around.

Boo to tummy. I feel really bloated at night. I figure it's age. Yay to seeing old chums! I have so much to do... its not even funny. If you still want them, I got a small box of corks.

I think I just have to face facts I can't eat all the yummies at Christmas anymore. I have to really dial it down. I feel fine now, but yesterday was really no fun at all.

I still collect corks, and would happily take any you have! ♥

You probably have enough corks to cover a wall... ;)
