General malaise & it's all my fault
Ok, I seriously need to take better care of myself. I have slipped into the UgRN-Diet (tm) which consists of whatever carbs are handy if I absolutely need to eat something, supplemented with a daily Centrum Junior multi-vitamin (colors and flavors and shapes, oh my!).
Clearly, this is not adhering very closely to the Canada Food Guide.
So yesterday I felt kind of dizzy and spaced out. I called up my mom, who is good with distance diagnosis.
Mom: So describe this feeling?Me: I don't know, like I'm pumped on caffeine, but without the energy. I can't sit, I can't think, I'm sore all over, and I could probably fall asleep right now!Anything else?Yeah, one of my tonsils is, like, 4 times its normal size and hurts like a bitch.Hmm. How have you been sleeping?Good, for the most part. A solid 7.5 hours a night, I'd say.How have you been eating?Um, I forgot to bring my lunch so I had a bagel today and a bag of Sun Chips from the vending machine. Then I got tired so I had a coffee.What?? When's the last time you had PROTEIN?*thinks* Probably on... Saturday? We went out for sashimi.Maybe, just maybe, that is your problem. You know, if you want to do this whole vegetarian-except-for-fish thing, you actually have to compensate at some point.
Oy, moms are always so right. Happily, I received a call from my dad about 10 minutes later insisting that he take me out for groceries. Hooray!
So, here's hoping that I feel better soon. I called in sick to work today, which is a big no-no, and plan to just curl up with my homework all night, feeling sorry for myself.
Goal for tomorrow morning: Cook vast amounts of balanced meals to put in freezer.
