I'm not dead in Stuff

Well, I still feel like shit, but I am miles better than I was yesterday, that’s for sure.
I can’t believe I even went into work today for my shift. I barely ever - wait, scratch that - I never call in sick, but I was seriously considering it, especially last night. I decided to wait it out and see how I felt in the morning.
Vish was texting me to call in sick, and then messaging me asking if I was at work, and then messaging me to go home lol.
I just felt sick. Probably a bit of paranoia and Placebo Effect. I was wary of anything I ate, as it seems to rear it’s dead after I eat something.

I had a few moments where I thought the same pain from last night was going to return, but thankfully it didn’t. I did not need that happening at work. I considered telling the assistant manager I was going home and just writing a sick adjustment, but I fought through it, and somehow made it through the shift.
I was not a happy chappy though. Putting on a smile for the customers was an effort!

I still have 5 hour shift tomorrow, so I’m hoping I’m okay for that. If I call in sick on a Sunday shift, I only get normal pay and not penalty pay, which is why I probably should have called in sick today instead. Either way, I kept myself busy and I’m glad I went. Kept my hands busy and my mind off my tummy troubles returning.

I only ate my leftover food in the fridge that I left in there yesterday, which was a tin of salmon, a mini bar, an italian chocolate thingy and an orange juice. I also had a fresh fruit juice and chicken chips for lunch, but that’s all I had all day, other than toast and tea for breakfast. I skipped my usual Vita Brits because I was short on time, although it has crossed my mind that maybe I’ve become lactose intolerant? I hear that can just appear at any point in life for many people, so I’m going to keep an eye on how dairy products affect me over the next week or so. I hate the idea of having to switch to soy (yukky).
But, I don’t know. I figure I’ll do my shift tomorrow, and if I still feel any sort of tummy troubles, I’ll book an appointment for the doctor and see what he/she says. There’s a medical centre in the complex where I work that has only been open for about a year, and I’m kind of thinking of changing doctors anyway, so I might wander down there and see what their prices are.

The only thing I can think I did differently was that I reheated a packet of white sauce that I’d previously heated in the microwave the night before. It said to store it in the fridge, so I assumed it’d be safe to reheat. After yesterday’s experience, I threw the packet out. It’s a possibility. It was different my usual routine. I’m clutching at straws here.
All I know is today wasn’t pleasant, and last night I don’t want a repeat of.

Thanks for all your notes! I know understand I could have a variety of things wrong with me :P
