Lethargic.

I've been having congee for a few days now because of my cramps and whatnot,
And it's just strange since my period is the type to skip or continue on and off for weeks (some of you'd know what I'm talking about), and I'm almost never free from bloating or a general discomfort.

Perhaps it's time to seek a doc, hm.

Anyways
throwing simple ingredients together really does help:
Rice, water, potatoes, marinated ground pork, a lil bit of stirring and time, and it tastes somewhat decent. I like mine all mashed up into starchy goodness, but most peeps I know don't, so it's up to you how you get it done. Or you could have canned beans (the.. Asian ones? It ain't the ones you have with fries) with the ground pork, or even one egg per bowl of congee if you feel like it. Just don't ever leave out a little garlic and ginger for a more warming effect and a better smell (?)
 I don't really know, it just feels right, heh.
I'm no cook but at the very least when it counts I guess I can afford not to starve and/or poison myself, so that's useful in a way.

Welp
Simmering some apple or pear in water helps, too, for a mellow drink.

Oh and lemon water somehow doesn't cause as much bloating.

I suppose I'm just rambling on now,
But it's so uncomfortable and I'm just wondering when and how it'll all go away.
