Welp, that was unexpected.

(Enjoy this photo of Daphne in all her Halloween glory.) 

I drank 3/4th of that Chery Cola flavored Olipop before giving up on it and pouring the rest down the drain. Disappointing, but no big deal. I figured I'd try the other flavor tomorrow and went to bed. Everything was fine. Until it wasn't. 

I woke up in the middle of the night with stomach pains and nausea. I tried to sleep it off, but it continued for DAYS. It wasn't debilitating. I could still eat and drink, I wasn't throwing up or having any other issues, but I experienced constant nausea, fatigue, and painful intermittent cramping. I still made it into work and handled my daily tasks, while eating plainer foods and taking a bunch of antacids and other stomach medications but it wasn't going away. Then, right before I went into Urgent Care, it stopped. 

I have no idea what the cause was. Maybe the source of the fiber in the drink was too intense for my system, maybe stevia needs to be added to my list of sweeteners my body just can't handle, or maybe I caught a random unrelated virus at the exact same time. It completely derailed all my posting and spooky season plans.

So (as usual) I'll be posting a bunch of Halloween goodies off-season. Get ready for a bunch of Novemberween posts (starting today!)
