Curse you!

Dear Claritin-D,

Thank you so much for making me feel like absolute crap last night and today, and essentially making me have mental breakdowns. Moody doesn't even begin to describe how I feel right now. I am tired of crying for no reason. I am tired of being tired because you wouldn't let me sleep well last night. I am tired of my head feeling tight and buzzy, and in general, feeling dizzy and dehydrated. I am tired of feeling out of breath and my chest beating a million miles an hour (which is probably why it feels sore too). I am tired of everything you have but me through since I ingested you and your contents began running rampant in my system yesterday afternoon. You're cousin Zyrtec-D made me feel like this, though not after one pill, and not quite as severe either. You didn't used to treat me like this, so why now?

Fitfully yours,
Lost Little Girl

In my state earlier, and kinda now, just not the moodiness or crying, I decided to make more garlic soup, but I did it differently today.

I decided to omit the Better Than Bouillon til the end, and therefore simmered the garlic in the water directly. It actually looked cool! I used a little less garlic than I had been before, but still a fair amount. The reason for not adding the BTB to the hot water was I wanted to see if it kept the broth cleaner looking as it kinda breaks up a little with the simmering and foams a bit, which isn't bad. It is only me eating it, but it also let me add the right amount of broth the the water later. This was a good decision.

My additions were a little leftover rotisserie chicken from dinner last night, and a handful of egg noodles. Again, to keep the water pure, I put a handful of noodles and a good amount of water into my micro cooker, and set it for 10 minutes while the garlic was cooking in the water and I shredded a few bits of chicken for my soup. When all components were done (including mashing the garlic), I add them back to the pan, with a good bit of parsley and let it simmer together for a little while longer on low.

And it was so yummy. I forced myself not to have it all in one sitting so I would have some later after my nap. And of course it was sitting together, and the flavors melded and all that while I was sleeping. I think it is my best version yet.
