I met a friend for dinner last night. I had a burger. It was a filling meal. And then he ordered dessert. I generally prefer to skip dessert. I also generally order it if someone else does. So I got some pecan pie. I hadn't had any in a while. The piece was huge! Deep-dish, they called it. And it came with ice cream. Not a scoop on the plate next to the pie, but a bowl of it next to the pie. Ugh. I realized I was getting too full and didn't finish it all. But I was stuffed. We sat and talked for quite a while after that, and my gut just got more painful over time.
I should not have had dessert. I felt like:
*slaps forehead repeatedly* Stupid! stupid! stupid!
After I got home I went out for a walk, to try to work some of that food off. But the sidewalks were icy, so I didn't stay out very long. Then the real problem - I can't get to sleep when I have all that food in me. It's like my body is working to process the food, and I can't settle down. I finally fell asleep sometime between 5 and 5:30. :-(
On top of that, my shoulder was aching. Last summer I had an issue in my shoulder. The muscles are all tight, for some reason. It was really stiff for about a week, but yesterday it moved into sheer pain. I went to the massage therapist today, to try to have it worked out, but it will probably take several visits over a couple of weeks. Anyway, it was really painful last night, so that didn't help.
