Day 18: Get Me Off The Beach

LOL! You know that feeling when you're in the backseat of someone's car and the have the front windows down and all you feel is wind in your face? That's how I feel in my front seat. I'm talking with a cracked window, lol. I got out today for a little bit. I could still feel that pull in my eye. Every now and then I have to rub my eye or massage the area around it because there's that slight blur going on. It's not always but sporadically throughout the day I see the blur.

I don't like eating out in public, lol, because I can't eat right. I can't bite my food like I want to. I went to Sonny's today for lunch and it was still pretty good but I'm sure I didn't enjoy it like I normally would have. There are times when I have to pull my lips apart to bite something. eating ribs with sauce doesn't work too well with that - but I managed.

Another thing I noticed this week which I hadn't really paid attention to previously was that my ear feels kinda clogged. I realized it on Wednesday when I was 'yelling' at the party.

*Side notes* After talking to Auntie today about the nutmeg, here's one thing that I read about it.
"Effects

In low doses, nutmeg produces no noticeable physiological or neurological response, but large doses cause symptoms and harm.

Nutmeg contains myristicin, a weak monoamine oxidase inhibitor. Myristicin poisoning can induce convulsions, palpitations, nausea, eventual dehydration, and generalized body pain.[11] It is also reputed to be a strong deliriant.[12]

Fatal myristicin poisonings in humans are very rare, but two have been reported, in an 8-year-old child[13] and a 55-year-old adult, the latter case attributed to a combination with flunitrazepam.[14]

It should also be noted that the recreational properties of nutmeg can take about four hours to take effect, and large enough doses have been reported to cause severe tiredness, uncontrollable and prolonged sleep coupled with dehydration. The effects have been known to last longer than 72 hours, depending on the size of the dose."
