Popped Necks, Otteraches and Pancakes

I finally got to see Turtle today! After eight months (yes, eight months) of not seeing each other, we finally arranged a small meeting!

I think we talked about dogs the whole time... And we even got to walk her mini poodle~ We went back into the My Talent building (the one connected to a condominium) and we sat there, talking some more, with little kids running around... And then all of a sudden, Turtle turns to me and talks about how her singing instructor (I'm sorry if I got that wrong) is also a physical therapist slash chiropractor? LOL! And then she goes in and asks for her to pop her neck. Correction, she goes in and asks, "Can you crack my neck?" in a nice and loving manner. I use to have problems with my shoulders being too stiff and all sorts of reasons for it being that way so I see a chiropractor once every few months but surprisingly, Turtle decided to ask if she can also crack MY neck! *gulp* It was slightly awkward, not embarrassing... Because I don't ask strangers if they can crack my neck. *laughs* as nice as she is, she did so and I can see in Turtle's eyes the satisfaction of my neck popping... I mean, cracking. Twice.

Even though we didn't get to hang out for very long, we were able to hang out and surely, we'll hang out more often!

After that, I decided to go around... As if I never been around Eastwood. And then, I started to get a tummy ache. But here's the thing; it can mean a lot of things... Ever since I was young, around 5-years-old, I would have a tummy ache for everything.

Mom: Hurry up! Let's go! We're running late!
Otter: ... I have a tummy ache. *owww*

Mom: *drives me to school*
Otter: ... I have a tummy ache. *owww*

Mom: You have to eat all the food that's on your plate.
Otter: But I have a tummy ache...

Otter: ... I have a tummy ache.
Mom: Did you forget to eat again?
Otter: *eats*
(An hour later)
Otter: I have a tummy ache...
Mom: Did you eat too much after not eating properly?

See, there are a lot of reasons. If you rush me, I get a tummy ache. If you drive that's not to my liking, I get a tummy ache. If I don't want to go to school, I get a tummy ache. If I eat too much, I get a tummy ache. If I don't eat and then suddenly eat too much, I get a tummy ache. Even if I'm bored, I'll get a tummy ache... So I wasn't sure about this one. However, I gave it a try and decided to eat at Pho Hoa since Turtle said that she misses me eating there and I haven't eaten there in a while so I ate there. *laughs*

After that, my tummy ache went away~

Now, I'm craving pancakes. NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Aching,
Otter
