I was carsick all the time at that age.

I was too, but I think perhaps discovering I could not read in the car helped. I still can't read in the car without feeling woozy.

I can't read in cars or any other moving vehicles, which really makes plane rides annoying.

As a kid I read all the time but now it makes me sick. Even using my phone makes me sick but other than that, I'm usually fine.

I have no problem in planes as long as there is not heavy turbulence.

I'm kind of irritated that it didn't rain. I could have gone to another parade! But then I have to admit that the effort involved probably would have been too much. But then I see that other people are out getting fun and I get sulky.

Brains are weird. I had part of a stuffed artichoke for dinner, though, so the brain can suck it.

TCG read every time we were on a train on our UK trip, and I was so jealous.

Why is my sternum super sore and tender to the touch? I'm quite certain I haven't been doing chest compressions on myself in my sleep...

That area gets sore when my lungs start heading towards asthma land. If that helps.

I can read all the time in moving vehicles.

I am stuffed with bacon jam

bacon jam is a thing I never heard of before but now need in my life.

Bacon Jam

1 lb good-quality bacon 1 small onion, chopped 4-5 garlic cloves, chopped 1/2 cup packed brown sugar ... 1/2 cup brewed coffee (hot or cold) 1/4 cup maple syrup 1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar (optional) 1 Tbsp. grainy mustard (optional)

Roughly chop the bacon and cook it in a heavy pot; transfer to a bowl using a slotted spoon, draining off most of the drippings. Saute the onion and garlic cloves in the rest for 5 minutes, until soft and starting to turn golden. Return the bacon to the pan, add the brown sugar, coffee, maple syrup, vinegar and mustard and cook over medium heat for half an hour, or until deep golden and thickened to the consistency of jam. If you like, cool and pulse in the food processor for a finer texture. Serve warm or cold.
