Timelies all!
I usually eat breakfast. Usually a bowl of cereal, or something equally light. I've learned I need to eat real food(i.e. not just snacks) on a regular basis or I am not a happy camper. Learned that lesson at WorldCon one year.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Oh, god, we're talking about food. I was up driving the porcelain bus last night until after midnight, I have no idea why. My sister & I spent all day with our parents: took them down to my brother's new house in SJ, then had dinner with them & then I took my dad out for a beer while my sister helped Mom. Then on the way home we stopped for a drink and I had one cocktail.
No idea what's going on with my innards, but a pint of beer and a single cocktail in a three-hour period should not make me spend two hours on my knees in the bathroom! So miserable.
I'm very gingerly eating some applesauce and hoping everything stays down.
I don't like getting old! I know my limits, I'm very good about them: why are my limits changing?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, Consuela, I'm sorry! You are under a wee bit of stress, what with one thing and another, I know sometimes that affects my stomach.
Unrelatedly: studying is hard. I quit smoking about 15 years ago and sample tests still make me want to light up.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Consuela, sounds like a virus or food poisoning -- nothing you did!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I've been known to drag in a couple small rugs, some pillows and a comforter and make a nest next to the toilet when it looks like it's going to be a siege. Also a book, to try to distract myself from thinking about how awful I feel.
It doesn't make the process go any faster, but at least it eases some of the discomfort of the situation....

Consuela, sounds like what I had a few weeks back. Feel better.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
We have arrived at the point in doing taxes where we stare at numbers in befuddlement and I wonder, again, why we didn't pay someone to do this.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Tom Cruise scares me. I know this is more of a reaction than I should have to a movie star, but he does. His sincerity is so...sincere. And there is just so much force behind everything, like this is going to be the handshake where everyone strips naked and pledges their eternal servitude to him. Nothing is casual. "No one has a house that big!" [in order to hang a certificate of Irishness] "I do..." whispers Cruise in a voice that's technically quiet, but blows the top off sotto voce and blasts every consciousness. I'm kinda glad my Graham Norton recording was interrupted.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Apparently Justin Bieber visited the Anne Frank House and wrote in the guest book, "Truly inspiring to be able to come here. Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a believer."
