Castor Oil's A Crutch

Never again! Never never *ever* again!

I feel like all kinds of crap runover. I don't even wanna talk about what castor oil tastes like (supposedly odorless and tasteless). It said to mix it with a tall glass of juice and crushed ice. Well, I would have..if the stuff wasn't so thick that it stayed on top..of everything. I was literally doing this like..pumping move with my straw in order to get juice AND castor oil in my system. Straight up looked like an oil spill in my drink! And uggghhhh the taste! It won't go away!!! I don't even know what to compare it to..but I know it's comparable to something I've had in my lifetime.

Supposed to take it on an empty belly. Thing is? I'm like.. *always* hungry lately. So I was good..and I waited it out...but now? Oh my gosh..it's like those pains I had when they starved me for about 28 hours while in the hospital giving birth to Calix (trying to stop labor included in this). They said they couldn't because of the mag I was on..but like I cared. That stuff had about *zero* effect on me (I blame it on all of the drugs and other things I've put in my system over the years. I've like..built up a tolerance to everything) and I needed food something fierce. Denied.

So you know what? Orion's out getting me a fucking chicken sammich because I WANT ONE! Oooo..what's it going to do? Make me shit more? I don't even care (probably because it hasn't started yet). Plus? In my own defense? I totally tried to ask Jeeves and Google if anything bad could happen if I ate after taking castor oil. Apparently no one's ever wondered about it.

At this point I doubt it'll make me go into labor..and I'm angry that I put that crap in my system because of it. Maddox has been wiggling up a friggin storm (and is currently camped out on the right side of my belly making me look all kinds of lopsided) and I'll bet he's all kinds of hungry too. It's comin, kiddo..I promise.


However..I am prepared to stay up all night with contractions..and I'm mostly packed to go to the hospital anyway. Ya know..if this stuff decides to actually work (though I *just* read it usually only works after you're 38 weeks and are dilated a bit. both of which I'm not).


At least my new book showed up in the mail today.
