Last night Joe and shared a really delicious pizza, washed down with our favorite cola beverage. Yum!

But two hours later, while I was on a conference call, I began having stomach pains. I got through the call, but I knew it was only a matter of time before Things Happened.

I'll spare you the details. Suffice it to say that I got very little sleep.

Those of us with kids know about the BRAT diet: bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast. It works just as well for adults. Once I finally felt hungry today, I started out with sips of water and a spoonful of applesauce. My system accepted that, so I kept it up. A spoonful of applesauce, a sip of water, a spoonful of applesauce, until I finally finished a little cup of the appley goodness.

Then I got brave and downed a glass of Coke - bad move.

Back to applesauce.

Tomorrow I'll try some toast. I'm really looking forward to a nice cup of coffee, but I'm a little leery of anything but the BRAT.

I'll tell you one thing, though - it's going to be a while before I have pizza again.
