Pancreatic nightmare & potato chip dream

Well, after a bunch of drugs, about 2 hours sleep, and many many hours wasted, this guy is back to about 83% health, which is way better than the 38% I was at yesterday…! I’m definitely feeling better, and damn, am I happy that is over. So what should I post today…? Well, considering I’m back in the world of the eating, how about fried snack-food?
Potato chips/crisps to be more exact.
I’m a huge fan of the potato chip, and make sure to try them wherever I go… the weirder, the better. From ketchup-flavored potato chips in Holland to Peruvian cassava chips, I find they are very region-specific in regards to flavorings, which reminds me of Gozilah’s Burger Patrol, and probably just about as healthy
Blah.

Food poisoning sucks!
And I got it pretty bad.
…but I happened to be getting some more water when I glanced out the window:
It looked like a scene from Ghostbusters and I think it is testing for this Thursday, October 1st. China National Day which will mark the 60th anniversary of Mao’s People’s Republic of China.
So had I not had these stabbing pains in my stomach and spent the better part of the day at my “other desk”, I wouldn’t have seen this… let’s try and remain positive here!
*EDIT/UPDATE*
So I went to the hospital today (09/29), as I couldn’t handle a third day of on/off stomach pains… the doctor told me it was most likely “severe food poisoning”, although the source is anyones’ guess. I left with a handful of drugs and a grin on my face, considering that they also checked my blood pressure, which was normal for the first time since… -since ever! Another day of once again mixing negative and positive, and affirming my firm belief that, in the end, everything is balanced.
I also added two new images: my drugs + a shot from earlier tonight (I just missed the fireworks testing, but I’m pretty damn sure I won’t be able to outrun tomorrows week-long festivities), please note that the window on the right is [always] wide open, and I’m on the 17th floor. Wonder how many kids tumble out, or if that’s just a western dilemma…?
