Well, I fucked up. Tonight it was just me and my youngest. He loves the local Chinese buffet and we haven't been in a really long time. What the hell why not, I like the place, one meal won't hurt.
I was elbow-deep in my third plate of egg rolls, yellow rice, fried shrimp, cheese with imitation crab, spicy beef and broccoli, and beef lo mein when my vision got screwy. I wouldn't say I was dizzy, but my eye tracking wasn't right, like a floating feeling where I would turn my head to look at something and it was like my eyes took a couple of seconds to catch up. I thought, shit this is going to be embarrassing because I'm about to take a floor nap right here in the Chinese buffet.
I stopped eating and got really really thirsty and drank two big glasses of ice water. After a bit I was back to normal for the most part. I called a nurse friend on the way home and talked to her about it. "You haven't had processed carbs or sugar in over a month. And you thought face fucking three plates of Chinese food was a good idea, you spiked your blood sugar and went hyperglycemic dumbass"
And just so there was no miscommunication between me and the universe, this was my fortune cookie. A proverbial "I did that shit on purpose bro" from the universe.
