Last night around 9-10 I was lying down watching American Idol/hanging with China/playing Bejeweled (a normal night) when my stomach started burning. No big deal, occasionally I'll get a bit of indigestion from a rich meal and earlier in the evening Matt and I had dinner at Kokkari with his dad. By midnight the burning in my upper abdomen wasn't going away so I popped a sampler Pepcid AC that I had handy in my medicine drawer. 2 am came around and I woke up with the worst burning I've ever felt.. same area. I sipped some ginger ale, took a Tagamet, and sat on the couch for a while, stooped over in pain.. trying not to think about it. 40 minutes passed and I couldn't deal with it anymore. I called the advice nurse and spoke with her for a while. She basically said if it continues for another hour get myself to urgent care. If it's tolerable but still lasting, see my doctor in the morning. Around 3:30-4ish I finally fell asleep.

What the heck was that? I had a little cereal this morning and my stomach is still feeling a bit burny-ish. Ulcer maybe? Ugh, I hope not. Anyhoo, I'm here at work now, albiet tired from a traumatic night. I can't pass up free lunch day..
