Day 24 - Drink Backfire

So, Hua-yu has been trying to make me healthy for a while.  And by healthy, I mean very minor things.  Like walk a few steps or only drink one Dr. Pepper a day.  Really quite reasonable things.  Sleep continuous hours, ya know...

Well, this week we somehow got off to the idea of not drinking any Dr. Pepper for the full week which was going swimmingly until this morning when I was having ice cream cake for breakfast (this probably deserves a comment, but I'm going to overlook it) and just felt compelled to have a Dr. Pepper.  I buzzed her and asked if making it half a week really was good progress and so I could have one.  Helper Elf Number 1 then giggled and decided I should have a Dr Pepper at all times she saw me for the rest of the day.



Hua-yu then ran into the kitchen to chastise me for my Dr. Pepper (despite my asking permission) and HEN 1 proceeded to get me a series of Dr. Pepper's until I had had three in the time we were in the kitchen.  We also told her I had already had one before she got there.
I had one in my office so I could be drinking one whenever she stopped by and I also appeared to drink a number at lunch.



Others supported by making comments to her about seeing me double fisting them and the like.  At the end, I believe we had her sold that I had consumed 15.
The backfiring?  None of them tasted right for some reason and whether or not it's related, I got a noxious headache.  argh.  I actually probably drank somewhere between two and three of them.  Definitely not wanting one today (i.e. there's even one sitting on my desk unopened from yesterday and I've felt no desire to reach for it).

Oops!  Nearly forget, it was in honor of junk food day!
