Journal Post 1/11

So it turned out the naming ceremony started at 6 AM... eff. I meandered over in the morning to apologize for not making it and saying my stomach hurt - not untrue. I've still been uncomfortably bloated from eating nothing it seems. I went over to HM's and he bought me a bean sandwich - self resistance was not there and I ate it all before saving it for lunch. He also got me cold water + told me where it get it! I was going to use the water to make oatmeal + cereal + honey for lunch had I not been UNCOMFORTABLY BLOATED from noon-7 PM. I went to the carpenter's with HM to check on my table (not done or not even started, I'm not sure), formatted a book for future data scribing, and talked to people. I didn't go much in depth but I met like 4 new people today + explained why I was here. I spent the majority of my afternoon packing for Basse, feeling ridiculously bloated and finally kicked my butt to work out. I even drank so much water today to stay hydrated! It better be my period that's bloating me because I don't think I can give up bean sandwiches, ever, NOT an option. I sat out in the evening for an hour before dinnering and turning in. Not a very big day in general but I'm relieved for Basse tomorrow.
