Better than coagulated

Sometimes words used in unusual contexts can be exceptionally descriptive.

Recently, I was asked by a friend - CORRECTION: a "fantabulous, chocolate-skinned beauty" (sorry, Atch!) - how I was feeling. I stumbled to describe it accurately, looking for a single word that would sum it up. I said the weather was hot and humid, I was bloated, and I felt like I was paying the price for a small cookie dough episode the night before.

It came to me in a flash.

"I just feel... congealed."

And my friend promptly replied, "I know exactly what you mean."
