Cloud Nine Had Some Turbulence Yesterday

I was in a fantastic mood yesterday. Very engaged, excited to be a global citizen and make a difference in the world! I am taking care of myself physically…yeah, go me!
Of course, the realist and Tibetan Buddhist that I am, I knew that this feeling could not last forever. I also knew that preparing for whatever bad thing was coming next was pointless because it will always be unexpected and it will always throw me on my ass. So I decided to enjoy myself with company and let it come. Not like I could do anything about it anyway.
Had a homecooked dinner with friends. Relaxed.
Then felt suddenly ill.
Very ill.
Oh sweet Jesus ill.
Then I combed through my food, and found meat. Pieces of meat.
I suppose I should have mentioned earlier that I am a vegetarian. My friends are not. But they promised to carefully make sure that no meat got anywhere near my food.
Someone later told me that the chef was not as careful as she could have been.
So my meat allergy/intolerance kicked in. I was so miserable for the next 5 hours.
I accepted it with as much grace as I could.
I suppose it’s lucky I didn’t have a peanut issue.
