I was starving when I got off work, but most importantly, I wanted the BK Star Trek glasses. And you have to buy a value meal to get one. So, you know, I ate a hamburger, bun and all. Bad Lorraine! Fell asleep promptly afterward, of course. But the thing that got me was I actually had the celiac stomach cramps. I don't usually get those. Weird.
So, been several hours now and the symptoms are pretty much gone. And now I have that weird desperate hunger I used to always get when I didn't have a clue about gluten and its effects. I know I shouldn't do this kind of silly stuff to myself (especially for a BK burger, of all things) but what can I say. Does knowing better make folks not go out, drink six beers, throw up in parking lots and declare that "OMG, I'll never do that again?!" It's human nature to do things we know we shouldn't. Even as I remind myself that wheat indulgences lead to stomach issues, as well as neurological.
Head's doing better. I already have a wee scar on my forehead, the scab dropped of today. My story has now entered the land of the ridiculous. A co-worker giggled while I described the TP holder hitting my head to another person. I mean, really, it is silly! A toilet paper holder landed on my head! How is that not naturally one of the most snicker worthy things ever? *g*
I want chocolate. And maybe a pony. I think it's time for bed.

And you know, you usually can buy the toys without the meals! (Or not eat the bun, though there's no guarantee there's no grain in the burgers themselves. :P )

Guilty as charged. Thanks! *squishes right back*

Original plan was to try to eat it w/o the bun, but it was a gooey burger with cheese sauce and stuff. And I do think there might have been wheat in the meat itself, it had a meatloaf texture. I probably would have been better off with a Whopper, much easier to deconstruct. Oh well, I have my glasses, unless I decide I must have the whole set!
