My body treats every tiny med shift like a big event

For what it's worth, i'm the hypersensitive type. A small change - different sleep, a skipped snack, a new generic - and my stomach and mood act like it's a five-alarm fire.

With two kids and meals that happen at three different times, I can't just curl up. My snack drawer has become non-negotiable: saltines, applesauce pouches, ginger tea bags, and those little protein shakes I can sip while packing lunches.

Last Tuesday I ate two saltines before school pickup and it was the difference between functioning and counting down the minutes. I'm not looking for fixes, just wondering if anyone else's body is this loud.

What's in your boring shelf for the days it won't calm down?
