[Day 3] White Porridge and Steak （白粥与牛排）

I am always careful what I eat, so I have not had food poison for many years, at least over 30 years. When people talk about food poison, I basically forgot how terrible it is. Yesterday I experienced it and felt miserable.

I saw a leftover from a night before on the island. I asked my daughter how long she took it out from refrigerator, and she told me only one hour. I did not want to waste it, so I ate it as my breakfast yesterday morning. Couple hours later, I felt I had an upset stomach.

I went to bathroom for couple times; then I started feeling my body weak and aching. My roommate suggested I should start eating white porridge with soy sauce. The white porridge could provide me energy but not upset more of my stomach. I took his advice, and he cooked a big pot of porridge for me.

I hung in there and worked in my office until 2pm, and I would not continue anymore because I felt miserable. I ate more and more porridge to keep myself having energy. I also went to bed early to have a good night sleep.

I felt much better after I got up this morning even though my stomach hasn’t become normal. I cooked a big pot of porridge again for today’s food, and I ate like a baby with soft food only.

I was looking at the dish of juicy steak that fresh cooked, and my saliva almost dripped out. Too bad, I was better to control myself and hung in there until my stomach getting better.

我一直很小心自己吃的东西，所以我已经有很多年没有食物中毒，至少有30多年吧。 当人们谈论食物中毒时，我基本上忘记了它有多可怕。昨天我经历了它，感到很痛苦。

我看到岛枱上的从前一天剩下来的剩菜，我就问小女她从冰箱里拿出来有多久了，她告诉我一个小时。我看到它还这么新鲜，就不想浪费它，所以我昨天早上吃了它当早餐。 几个小时后，我开始感到肠胃不适。

我去了厕所几次，然后开始感到身体虚弱和疼痛。我的室友建议我应该开始吃白粥加酱油。白粥可以为我提供能量，但不会使我的胃部不适。我听了他的建议，他为我煮了一大锅白粥。

我在家里的办公室工作直到下午2点，我不能再继续下去了因为我感到很痛苦。我整一天就只吃白粥，以保持精力充沛。我昨晚上也很早就上床睡个好觉。

今天早上即使我的胃还没有恢复正常，但起床后我感觉好多了。我又煮了一大锅稀饭作为今天的食物，我今天像个婴儿一样只吃着柔软的食物。

我看着那道新鲜烹制的多汁牛排，口水几乎滴了下来。太可惜了，我最好控制好自己，然后等待到我的肠胃恢复正常起来。
