Feeling guilty

[sqbr]

Taking the day off work because, well, I'm quite sick. But they're so busy I still feel bad, if it was just today I might ponder dragging myself in but I'm rostered on 3 more days this week and know from past experience that forcing myself to be energetic when I'm this buggered leads to Badness, especially a 7 hour shift. Ew.

Still feel bad though. The problem with me when I'm sick is I often don't feel that unwell...until I try to speak or move etc at which point I feel terrible. Actually, I geuss thats better than feeling terrible all the time.

Decided to google for which foods are acidic and was stymied by popular alternative health theory based on how acidic foods are once they're digested which for example classifies lemons as alkaline. After much searching eventually found this FDA page. Mental note: avoid cranberries.

The plus side of being fevered and slightly delirious (which I was last night, not so much now) is that things like that "Planet Earth" nature documentary become really absorbing. I want a pet snow leopard now.

Currently rewatching season 4+ Buffy, missing the episodes I remember being crap. Missed much of the end of season 4, pondering if I can be bothered with season 5.

Can't you normally just tell which foods are acidic by how they taste?

Get better soon.

To some extent. But my throats only been super sensitive for a few months, so its nice not to have to discover them all by losing my voice :) Also I was more looking for alkaline foods to mix in with acids and neutralise them, naturally I'm allergic to half of them but eggs+ milk+ fruit makes a good combo(*), I had yummy yummy bluberry french toast for afternoon tea.

(*)Which I had kind of figured out on my own but wasn't sure if it was just the milk, or the frying or what.

Also, who wouldn't want a snow leopard for a pet?
