I hate Christmas carols. They get so overplayer before and during Christmas, and then they're still stuck in your head until the new year. And then when you're trying to title your blog posts, you can only think of bad references to even worse songs.
But this post is not about that. This post is more about food and money and phones.
I guess I'll start with Friday. We were at my aunts for a pre-Christmas get together. We had pizza and salad...but mostly pizza. Now, if you'll recall, my family and I have been on a super-healthy vegan diet. We all vowed to throw caution to the wind and abandon our diets for the holidays, so I partook in a slice (or two or three) of pepperoni pizza. About an hour and a half afterwards, I was in a tremendous amount of pain. I ran to the bathroom, lifted up the toilet seat, and leaned over it, preparing for...well, let's just call it The Worst.
In like 10 minutes, the pain was gone, and I had not done The Worst. After my--what my family and I have come to call "episodes"--I felt perfectly fine. That night we had Subway for dinner, and I had another episode. I'd say it was even worse. There was much more moaning and groaning.
The next day was Christmas eve. I'm sure I've mentioned my family's Christmas eve celebration, but in case I haven't: it is an event in which all of our closest family comes to eat and eat. There's cheese fondue, cookies (with bacon!), cheese and crackers, spinach dip, Chick Fil A chicken nuggets, mac and cheese, and so on. My parents told me to take a lot of vitamins that helped with digestion and stuff and to try and take it easy but also eat. I did this. I was in extreme pain twice that night.
The next day was (obviously) Christmas. My family now believed it was my gallbladder, and that fat was causing the problem. So I ate no fat. I ate fruit and green bean salad and stared longingly at everyone else's plates.
BUT, my Christmas was not entirely filled with pain and self-pity. No, it was pretty awesome. I got the least I'll need for NYC, lots of socks, and A NEW PHONE. A SMART ONE. It is what I'm writing this on now.
Anyways, I'm starting my gallbladder cleanse tomorrow. Meaning I'll only be drinking apple juice and eating apples. Then I drink olive oil. I'm so looking forward to it.
The end.
