Before yesterday, it had been a little over a month since I last had lunch at my school's cantine.
Since it was such a nice day yesterday, I figured, screw the bus, I'll walk to school. And since I'm getting all this exercise -- it takes me 50 minutes both ways to get there -- why shouldn't I "splurge" on a 3 Euro meal at school, even though it's probably LOADED with calories??
It was nice. We had some light white fish, with an aïoli mayonnaise sauce, sautéed vegetables (why does this word end in -ed? the accented e already implies past-tense), cheese and bread, and fruit with chocolate for dessert.
At least I thought it was a nice lunch. Until a few coworkers started complaining about being sick shortly before school got out. And until I spent THREE HOURS LAST NIGHT throwing up in the toilet.
That's right, I was up until 2:30 - 3 a.m. vomiting, and the culprit most likely was that lunch. It was this terribly unsettling feeling, as my stomach kept doing violent flip flops back and forth, kind of like a fish just out of water. And I don't have any stomach medicine, nor do I have a car, NOR does France have 24-hour convenience stores to go buy such a product.
But I finally fell asleep in the wee hours of the morning, not remembering feeling this bad since my 21st birthday, ha figures. So today I have NOTHING TO DO. I slept until 12 p.m., I plan on taking a bath -- my first in YEARS -- and then we're having our Mexican dinner tonight.
...Not sure what I'm going to eat at that one, but I'm definitely making some PLAIN oatmeal soon.
