In Which Things Are Totally Typical

Well.

So.

That whole sprouting the mung beans thing? Well, the saga continues.....

Today I went to the doctor because I have had a fever and have been feeling just awful. Horrible stomach ache, achy all over, exhausted -- just all around crap.

And guess what? The doctor is 99 percent sure I have salmonella. Also, I could have hepatitis! I have to collect many stool samples (yum), can only have liquids for the next few days, and had to disinfect my whole house like a maniac because, guess what? Salmonella is contagious. AND if I do have it? They have to report me to the health department!

I mean, seriously. This is a typical thing that would happen to me. FP thinks it is hilarious, except for the fact he has put me in quarantine in the bedroom and bathroom in there, and gags when I talk about the stool samples.

Ironically, this all started because I wanted to cleanse my body and be healthier, for Christ's sake. You can all rest assured that there is a definite cleanse going on, just not what I had intended.

Typical.

Hoisted by your own organic petard. Ugh.... hope you're feeling better soon, and remember they are called mung beans for a reason.

Are you sure it was the dung beans and you didn't eat peanut butter?
