I&#8217;d had the headache for most of the day.  I think it&#8217;s a combination of a side effect of the eyedrops my eye Doctor prescribed.. and a bit left over from getting carsick on the way into work.  Anyway I had the headache for most of the day and just felt drained.  When I got home I couldn&#8217;t work up the energy to actually commit to make something for dinner.  <\/p>\n<p>Finally I decided: &#8220;I feel bad and I&#8217;m hungry.  I&#8217;ll have a piece of bread with butter and jam on it and then I&#8217;ll not be hungry and I can think about making dinner&#8221;.  With this in mind I wandered off to the kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>We were out of bread.<\/p>\n<p>Alarm bells should have gone off.  My stomach sank and I reeled from (practically) despair.  I wheeled away from the empty bag of bread and reached for the baking chocolate chips. Surely 1-2 chips would be enough to revive me(yeah, I -thought- that.. but you and I both know it wouldn&#8217;t have been 1-2 chips.. it would have been a handful).  Thankfully they chips are gone (and I don&#8217;t plan to replenish them).  Finally I settled on some rice chips I&#8217;d bought last weekend. <\/p>\n<p>I shouldn&#8217;t have eaten them.  I especially shouldn&#8217;t have eaten them instead of dinner. \/sigh<\/p>\n<p>I guess the lesson here is that especially when I&#8217;m stressed, sick or in pain I need to be extra careful and have plenty of good choices on hand or inevitably I&#8217;ll make bad choices.  A single piece of bread wouldn&#8217;t have been -so- bad.. but chocolate.. especially a big old handful would have been a horrible choice.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily the rice chips weren&#8217;t too salty and in fact aside from being the totally wrong choice weren&#8217;t =too= bad.  Though.. I never did actually make dinner.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this, I&#8217;m down 2 pounds from yesterday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night I had a headache.
