> You know what I hate? The pick-a-size or tear-a-square rolls that seem to be ubiquitous. I almost never need just one small square, and that’s where they want to tear.

First time I recall disagreeing with you about anything, but I am firmly Team Select-A-Size! Hell, for really small drips or spills, I will tear one of those little pre-cut pieces in half, and shove the other half into the end of the roll, for later use.

I dunno what happened, but an hour or so after dinner, I horpfed up everything I’d eaten for the past week, it felt like. Then for a while, even cautious sips of water were too much & promptly ejected.

I canceled my call with my friend, and went the hell to bed.  
(Anxiety Voice: “you’re gonna throw up in your sleep & die like that chick on “Breaking Bad” haha!”)  
Woke up a few hours later feeling … better … enough to keep down water.  
Back to bed.  
Now it’s 3:30 a.m. and I feel absolutely perfectly fine, if quite hungry. Having a snack of tube croissants and some soup, and wondering what the hell happened.

Best I can figure, it was too much & too rich, all at once. Not food poisoning - I can’t imagine such a quick turnaround.  
Anyway, I’m just glad to be feeling better. So imma eat some more lightweight stuff, then see about getting some more sleep.
