Mea culpa

My body has never reacted well to chocolate, so when I do eat one, I make it a point to only have a few bites.

But I was so hungry this afternoon that when I got a small chocolate cake as a Christmas present, I threw all caution (and good sense) into the wind and attacked the pastry.

Somewhere in the fifth or sixth bite, my throat started feeling scratchy and my head started getting fuzzy, so I stopped.

And started drinking lots of water.

Two trips to the bathroom later, I still don't feel so well.

I only have myself to blame.
