Buttered Popcorn

The pain on either side of my spine right below my ribs is what caused me to worry. My urine smelling like popcorn hadn’t been so much a concern by itself.

The previous night I was drinking at a level some might consider a lot but it was nothing out of the ordinary.

Earlier, I had googled “why does my urine smell like buttered popcorn” the 2 top causes: diabetes and dehydration. Dehydration made sense so I thought no longer about it but then the pain by my kidneys showed up. 

I quietly said, “Oh fuck”. 

But then I remember I was shoveling snow for over an hour prior to drinking. The pain wasn’t actually my kidneys, it was just my back. So I had a couple shots of whiskey to toast my immortality.
