Working with Jerry today on the ambulance. Before we sign on, Jerry likes to stop at Cumberland Farms and get a “Bladder Buster,” - an extra large soda. Cumberland Farms gives us free coffee and soda. I realize while I brought my tumbler full of ice, I forgot my bottle of Bai Coconut Drink. I have to get something to drink and I am worried this will be the moment I fall. Cumberland Farms has one of those soda machines where you can add flavoring. I used to love getting the large soda filled to the brim with ice, then with coke and lime flavoring added. I am definitely being triggered. We enter and I turn left instead of right toward the soda fountains. I check to see if they have my Bai Coconut. I’ll buy one if they do, even pay the high price, but they are out so I am now at the soda machine, large cup out filled with ice, my hand shaking as I decide what brand of Coke, regular or Zero Sugar. I am done for. Then at the last moment, I hit the Powerade button instead. I am so proud of myself. While the drink is free, I always feel so of bad about getting the drinks free so I usually buy cough drops, but this morning I buy vitamin C drops. I also forgot to pack some vitamin C to eat 30 to 60 minutes after my hot dog for the day.
That dog comes at 11. We are covering Newington so we park outside Doogie’s waiting for it to open. When they let us in, I order the Dixie Dog, pulled pork minus the slaw., Jerry gets a chill dog.
No complaints about this dog.
30 minutes later, I take two vitamin C drops. Carcinogens be gone.
Day 77 in the belly
