The major source of stress at home

Good god, this is my life right now.

(if you can't tell, I'm one of the losing people with a lower threshold.)

The monster in my tummy is angry

I've recently finished my antibiotic regime to get rid of an infection of H. Pylori bacteria in my stomach. The doctor says I'll have a build up of excess acid in my stomach for up to three weeks after the infection is gone. This leaves one tired Alana up with heartburn at unfortunate hours.

Things I need to stay away from include:
pop

deep-fried foods

or basically anything too acidic

The good news is this explains most of the reactions I've had recently with certain foods.

Labs don't die

Sometimes Physics makes me feel like this poor guy. I spent hours working on a lab only to find out that some of my data is crap and I'm probably going to have to redo parts of it. Bah!

Sleep is for chumps

Cleaning your ears is weird.

I know, right?

I just twisted some little piece of cotton around in my ear, started coughing uncontrollably, and they were totally related. There's nothing that makes me more uncomfortable than that feeling.

The closest thing to that kind of reaction I've ever had was when I had acupuncture. The doctor was twisting a needle between my eyebrows and my vision went away.
