My tummy is upset today; this is not one of my frequent complaints. Oh, I may have lower tummy emergencies, but they are quick events. This morning my upper tummy is uneasy and is, therefore, a pain in the neck. As one who has experienced motion sickness from infancy on up, that nausea has also been an event-type experience.

I would make lemonade out of these lemons, but the acidity isn’t wise, so I will sit quietly and read. Oh! The sacrifice of a day pruning shrubs and cleaning out window wells. I’ll just have to put up with it, I suppose: A book, toast, and a bit of Sprite.
