A Tight Knot

I feel nauseatingly sick :( Helena has been feeding me
ridiculous amounts of foods I shouldn't even be eating a
little bit of (high fat foods, meat - which I'm not at ALL
accustomed to, rich chocolate desserts, etc). My stomach
feels like a tight knot. I'm enjoying her being here (I
really appreciate the help with child care and housework
and we have great conversation) but I'm DYING to get back
to healthier eating habits, my daily gym routine and yes,
even the housework. This is my house after all and I'd
love to be able to find all of the dishes in the kitchen
again. She leaves tomorrow morning, so I just have to get
through one more piece of chocolate fudge cake and I'm
home free. I'll be able to get my IBS back under control,
because it's going crazy right now. She doesn't normally
eat this way, either. It's just because it's a "special"
occasion coming to visit. I'd be just as happy to see her
if we have a nice salad for dinner as opposed to a thick
Hungarian Goulash with a pound of cheese in it. Ouch. I'm
in pain just thinking about it.

Last night we had a deep discussion about religion. Helena
is Atheist and I'm what I like to call a Freethinking
Buddhist. When you get right down to it, neither of us
believe in God and we've got our reasons for feeling that
way. It's interesting listening to her perspective on
things (some I agree with, some I don't), but either way
it's interesting and I really wish I had someone I could
have those types of intellectual discussions with on a
regular basis. Someone who shares similar views. Jason is
Agnostic (he doesn't know and he doesn't really care), Gen
is Christian and while my dad is of a similar mind-set,
he's also too far away to have in-depth discussions with.
Maybe there's a non-believer chatroom I could join or
something :) Probably. There's a chat room for everything.
Ciao.
