Day Thirty-two - Rest my chemistry

Well, leave it to my old self to finally decide doing something only for life to slap me in the face. Yesterday I was real busy at work, and after I left I still had a pile of work that needed to be done. But I had to go out for some hopping first, and then to pick up an order that arrived for me at a friend of mine's. All in all, this took me about an hour to get sorted, and by the time I got home I started organizing the workload I had left, to see what could be done then and what could be left fof the day after. That meant that it was quite late when I finally decided to grab a bite to eat, and I just went and downed a bowl of cereal. And maybe I ate it too fast, I don't know, but shortly thereafter my stomach started cramping bad. I initially waved it away, reasoning that it was only a momentary discomfort. How wrong I was.

Throughout the night and through the whole day, things got progressively worse. I felt like I really had to go to the toilet, but to no avail. In desperation, I first started taking a mild laxative, and that made no difference whatsoever. As the hours wore on and as my discomfort grew, I went to the chemist's nearby and bought a stronger laxative. Let's see if it works.

More tomorrow, now I'm going to try and get some rest.
