Say one thing about me say I am good at making my own life miserable.
Case in point yesterday's coconut lychee drink that I had at a kiosk known for its varied cool concoctions.
This coconut drink was blended with coconut milk, lychee, ice and some sugar and came topped with a fat swirl of cream.
There was something at the back of my head that paused a moment when I saw the mound of cream but I soon told myself that this might not be all milk and mayhaps be one of those chemical cream concoctions that have little dairy.
Why I thought this at that moment was perhaps because I wanted to drink that tall glass of delicious coolness and so I did .
There came a point when the thick swirl of cream mixed in with melting ice and lychee and the flavour was quite delicious, almost unknown to me because I rarely I'd ever have any dairy and I sipped on it while making pleasant conversation.
At that moment I thought nothing of it and as night came my stomach kept me awake through it feeling uneasy and sickening, and I cursed myself all night for it.
To say that I slept a wink might be overstating it because I barely slept between the odd pain and discomfort. All night I kept tossing and drinking water and feeling angry.
Somehow around 5 in the AM I slept and woke up a few hours after, feeling terrible and sick still.
I've since had some soothing potion and my stomach though not roiling is far from feeling comfortable.
My workout was jeopardised and I'm upset with myself for throwing caution to the wind.
I mean when will I learn?
This isn't a game where I keep pushing boundaries.
Why did I feel that the cream wouldn't harm me?
Why did I make that mistake that one moment when I'm so extremely cautious every moment regarding my dairy intake.
I'm angry.
I don't feel hungry which is a bit of a red flag and I feel like my day is wasted.
