Breakfast: Aunt Jamami pancakes and sausage and a couple of cup of coffee...

Lunch: At Casey's Cowtown: Chicken fried chicken, mashed potatoes with white gravy, corn, a roll and two glasses of DP.
The service has gotten better. I think this is a matter of the number or (Lions who attend going down by about 5 or 6 and the waitress has gotten used to us...)

?Dinner: I made meatloaf for lunch Thursday and tried a little bit. I put a lot of dried onion and "Italian Seasoning" and ground up garlic in it and a lot of oatmeal. The oatmeal soaked up most of the grease. After trying a sample, I realized I'd probably made a mistake.

Dinner proper was extra crispy chicken, mashed potatoes and brown gravy, a small piece of "corn on the cob" on a stick and a roll with honey (all from "The Rat") and a couple of glasses of water. I feared the combination of this and my snack would be a mistake. It was...

After dinner, I drank a "gin and tonic". I probably shouldn't have but I figured I had nothing to lose...

The Mistake Confirmed: About two hours after going to bed, I woke up with stomach juices bubbling up into my mouth. I immediately realized I was having a serious reaction to the grease in the food I'd eaten and that my best bet would be to go vomit. I didn't want. Instead, I went to
took a pee. (Always easy for me these days.) I kept waking up, rolling onto my right side (the opening to the stomach is on the left side) and kept trying to go back to sleep. It didn't work...

I quietly got out of bed, crept into the hall bathroom, very quietly shut the door before turning on the light. Then, I crouched low over the toilet hoping this would set off vomiting. No luck. I recently cleaned the toilet. So, I stuck my finger down my throat and vomited three times. Then,
thinking I still didn't feel quite right, it was finger in the throat time again for the fourth offering to "the Porcelain Goddess". After that, I felt better and went back to bed. (After flushing the toilet and washing my hands, of course. I wouldn't want anyone to think I'm uncivilized...

Then, I slept fine!
