disappointed_lesbianSudden abdominal pain today after lunch. It's been going on for hours. No idea why. I've never experienced this before. Neither eating nor exercise nor dicyclomine has helped. Another wasted afternoon. Well, mostly wasted. I managed to leave a voicemail for my DOR counselor and conduct a brief job search.
Finally had a real bowel movement this morning. A large, painful one. Toilet clogged immediately afterwards and made the back of my apartment smell bad. The plunger isn't helping. Also I had stomach cramps afterwards, before I had the sharper pains.
It's a nice day and I should have gone out to get some sunshine and fresh air, but I'm loathe to leave the computer, with which I can distract myself from the pain.
Now it's bedtime. The pain has finally subsided and I cleared the toilet by pouring very hot water down it.
Today was a hopeful day, I guess mainly because I did another skin peel. Yeah, that's the only reason. At least now I know to not leave the peel on for so long.
I got stuck on xiamen podcaster guy's podcast and had to abandon it. My comprehension must be insufficient because it seems like he's saying random things. Now I'm taking a break from such advanced podcasts and doing another lesson from my textbook. I went through the audio files and chose lessons that had bearable voices. I'm skipping around the book. Now that I've spent so much time slogging through podcasts, which are more difficult to learn from, I'm completely confident that I can pick up vocab from textbook chapters that I've skipped.
The intermediate podcast episode I'm working on has been rough going lately because the subject was politics, but it's not terrible. I just have to plow through it. My Mandarin is going to be so good in a year.
