tummy woes, part II // 2003-06-30

i woke up this morning to a pain in my knee and an ache in my tummy that felt just like this tummy ache i had almost exactly a year ago. in retrospect, i think the doctor was correct last year in his diagnosis of heartburn or an ulcer, since it seems to be stress related. why did i mock him at the time? i dug out my old prescription for ranitidine, but i don't think it's working yet. would eating ice cream help? like, maybe the ice cream is a base and it would neutralize all that acid eating its way through my stomach? or maybe i'm looking for an excuse to eat ice cream?

four days left of work, so i'm cleaning out my computer of old files and embarrassing documents and pictures. i came across some desperate letters i wrote c two years ago when we met, which i never sent, of course, because they were desperate and humiliating. but it was nice to read them (and blush) and remember how strongly i felt about him at the time, and to know i still feel like that two years later. which is a good thing since i just moved in with him. ha ha!
