So yesterday was a bit rough on the old nausea. None of the pills (not even the green one) seemed to do any good all day. as I navigated myself thru this day, drinking as much water as possible and sitting thru one of the twice yearly "long meetings" I figured out that this nausea thing is going to be a learn-as-you-go-experience, like everything else it seems. so, instead of moaning about the vague feeling of unease and burpiness that accompanied me all day i will list the THINGS I LEARNED:
1. If you feel nauseous go eat something
2. That something shouldn't be just pizza
3. That something, if it is pizza, should not be followed by another slice of pizza at a different pizza place, both of which happen to be near work but neither of which had ever been tried because i was under the correct impression that they were A-gross B-slow and C-overpriced. Well, sbarros' was AC and the little Italian joint on Hester AB so thats two losers. Three if you count me, who was cranky and irratible all day no matter how many damn pills i ate (the two compazine i took made my jaw ache a little today, so that means no more of that).
The cure? The Salvation? The Thing to Do?
4. Eat a Good Meal! I met Dallas Mo BenSparks Shane and Kim! in park slope at Poco Rosa and had me some rotisserie chicken, spinich mashed pototos and tacu-tacu. Yes, i should have pics but like i said i was cranky till the smooth juices of Rotisserie Goodness crossed mine lips and soothed the beast within. Conversation ran smoothly, gossip exchanged, information related and exposed, Kim explained how to make a fireworks display that looks great on still photos but kinda crappy in the sky, Ben cleaned all plates for the asking, and Mo told some amusing anecdotes about escaping twelve feet of snow and relatives.
5. Get some proper sleep.
so that was yesterday, today went pretty smooth (as smooth goes) so lets see if i can take this information and make myself more comfortable as the chemical battle inside me rages on.

Sounds like you're mapping things out as you go. Best strategy. I'm guessing some good bread and hummus would be good for the old stomach as well. You have some real estate on our blog now so don't be surprised with some old friends/family posting. Give me a ring if you'd like, Zig's in LA for the week on biz. B.
First! Saw the posting on benny boy's blog and had to say g'day. Good choice on the scrabble, my favorite game. How's Julie? Is she still teaching Pilates?
Will keep up with your blog, I have one too so have a look if you want a super-light read on Australia.
The first question i always get - "Are you from Canada or the US?
Next question - "Uh...Where exactly is Missouri?"
Jason, the family is relieved it's Hodkins. Nice blog. Having had chemo for my lung cancer, I agree on the pizza. Let your dad know if I can do anything for you.
Keep plugging.
