My stomach was upset, leaving me with gut pain. I think I waited far too long before starting to eat dinner around 4 pm. I will definitely eat a proper lunch to,morrow and will bring something to eat around 5 pm. I hope that I am not turning into a "brittle"!

After several Tums and whilst thinking of "Pink" (Pepto-Bismuth), I remember once being ask "did I try to induce vomiting"? So, I went to the bathroom, stuck my finger down my throat and blew chunks. 

When the dinner left, so did the pain. I think my body was reacting to some of the seasoning.

Lunch: I went to Sonic and that was a mistake! I ordered:

• 5 piece chicken stripes,

• medium "Diet Coke"

I started giving my order. They got my first order (for my wife) but could not understand my second order. The first person I talked to sounded like a Mexican woman. She could not understand what I wax saying. She was replaced by what sounded like a white man. He could not understand my order either. I then talked to what sounded like a Mexican man. He got my order right (or so I thought).

I ended up waiting for more than 10 minutes before a kid finally brought my order out. I did not hold the problems of taking my order against the delivery person.

When I got the food to Kathie at work, it turned out they had screwed up her drink order. I don't remember them providing the white gravy.

Sonic was torn down and the building rebuilt. Apparently, Sonic lost their experienced employees and had to hire fresh staff. Regardless, I'm going to stop going until I think they may have their shit together. Either that or I'll just start going in to the counter (I think they have a counter) and order there...

Pre-Bed Snack:

I had a problem this morning:

I mowed the yard this morning and came inside intending to change my t-shirt and put on a long sleeved shirt. I was feeling tired and weak when I changed my clothing. I ate a handful of dark chocolate chips and then checked my blood sugar: it was 171, so I wasn't hypoglycemic. Regardless and ignoring the fact I had eaten the chocolate chips before checking my blood sugar, they way I felt was a very unpleasant experience.

AM 108  PM 157 (at 1047 am 171)

The next morning, I found I'd forgotten to take my evening pills. I can only wonder what my evening blood sugar would have been...

back in the game again

I decided to resume making entries to this food blog. I quit entries in 2015 after I retired; I had been making entries at work and didn't want to be bothered.

Now, I think entries are a good idea.  (This is not an April Food Day Joke!)

6 December 2016

Tuesday, 6 December 2016

Breakfast: left over rice pilaf and coffee

Lunch: Tomatoe soup with 2 hot dogs, slice of sour dough bread with peanut butter and grape jelly and coffee

Dinner: We went to the pre opening of a new restaurant. This place was built in what had been the Boot Hill Museum warehouse. They handed out three dinner cards, and a desert card.
I ordered:
• Salad. There was some discussion with the waitress about what my dressing was going to be. When the main course arrived, Kathie reminded the waitress that I had not gotten my salad.
• We had pheasant “sticks”. Very nicely flavored but very dry. Overcooked?
• I got sirloin stripes wrapped around sliced veggies and a very nice corn dish. It wasn’t until we were getting desert that Kathie said “weren’t you supposed to have a baked potatoe”. She was right. I had discussed the toppings on my baked potatoe and was assured “it is real bacon”.
• The desert was fine. There were three well cooked bacon stripes stuck in whipped creamme.

This was an opening and all the orders hit the kitchen The head chef was overwhelmed, I think.

Finally, I drank three glasses of a lemonade that was supposedly “low sugar”. This “low sugar” gave me the highest post-dinner blood sugar readings I have every had!

It was a startup that actually went well (I think). We will be going back when they are officially open and I will keep better track of what I am supposed to be getting!

I couldn’t get warm when I went to bed last night. Then, about 1 am, I woke up coughing and knew I was going to vomit shortly. So, I went to the hall bathroom and ended up vomiting several times. I still don’t know what I ate yesterday that turned my stomach so badly.
