I'm at the beach!

And I didn't wake up very sick this morning. The rice diet seems to have helped. Today I added bananas and a few bites of cantaloupe.

I'm very tired of rice.

A bunch of people went out for Mexican, but I decided not to join them, because I would be tempted by the delicious food, and that could prove bad. (And even if I didn't succumb to temptation, I'd be jealous of their food, since I had 3 rice balls for dinner.) I'm hungry, but I don't know what else I can eat, and I don't want to risk being sick when we're having to check out tomorrow morning.

And I'll have to miss whatever people get for breakfast, too. :( (Though I could possibly get something and find out I can't have it in the privacy of my own home tomorrow morning...)

I'm not much of a beach person, really, and I'm not keen on the whole 30-odd people going together thing. Maybe I'll organize a trip to the mountains next summer, or possibly the Outer Banks, if the beach is a requirement.

Made some progress on the minor edits from anthimeria; still need to figure out how to fix some of the larger issues. (Make it more difficult! Trying to work out how...)

If you google "bento box lunch ideas" you should find some new ways to fix rice.

Good thought! I'm avoiding wheat, soy, and corn right now, too, so that makes things a lot more difficult. When the blood tests for celiac and food allergies (IgE-mediated) come back, I'll have more of an idea. But the allergy tests don't get intolerances, since they're physical, not immune-mediated. :P

The timing on this whole thing kind of sucked for you. I'm sorry it had to turn out that way. It was nice having a chance to hang out and chat, though, and thank you again for letting me invade your room for the afternoon.

Indeed! and it's no problem at all.

I may start researching Outer Banks, Topsail, or Wrightsville for a small trip next summer.

Hurray for not being super sick! I hope you find you can eat more than just rice soon, because yes,the all you can eat (as long as it's rice) diet is pretty boring.

I am also not a terribly beachy person, though I can enjoy it under the right circumstances. I just dislike getting sunburnt, getting sand all over everything (esp. in my clothes and hair), and getting tossed about by waves (seawater up nose especially icky). I do enjoy swimming generally, and spending time with friends, and walking, and finding odd shells and things, though.

I woke up sick again this morning (minimal nausea, at least; just the other problem). I'm befuddled yet again, and afraid of food. I eat rice, I'm OK. I eat rice and a daring banana (which afaict is not allergenic) and three bites of melon (which is out for fructose intolerance), and I wake up sick.

Maybe it isn't food at all. I hope not (because I love food), but that puts me back at square one.

So I said "fuck it all" and am eating hazelnut rice crackers. (Wheat and gluten free, no soy (though processed in a factory that etc), only natural butter flavor.)
