Last night instead of going to bed early to catch up on sleep even though I was pretty much nodding off at my job, I decided to stay up and browse for new jobs. Well, today I felt like utter crap. I worked this morning and after my lunch break started to get a headache. I had a job interview after work, and on the way, I almost fell asleep when I stopped at a red light. The interview was in the same shopping center as my old store, so I stopped in to get a cup of coffee. I don’t normally drink caffeine (and the incident from the other day is the reason why), so this was not a good idea. During the interview my headache got worse and developed into a migraine. They had me do some tests, and somehow I passed with flying colours even though my vision was blurry, my brain hurt, and I wanted to vomit.
I was supposed to go to a meeting tonight but canceled. I came home to take a nap, but oh yeah, that’s right, I have a migraine because I drank caffeine! Fuckinay! So now I’m sitting in bed, awake, head hurting like a crazed bitch, wanting to vom. I worked over 60 hours last week and haven’t had a day off in over a month. I’d cry right now but my head hurts too much. I can’t even throw myself a proper pity party!
And there’s something in my eye that I can’t get out.
Now all I need is someone to punch me in the face.
Although maybe that might knock me out, and I could be unconscious for a while. That would be nice.
How overworked can one possibly be when slipping into a coma sounds like a good option?
I think I have to recommend a day off. It’s never a good sign when you want to hibernate.

Wanna hear something funny? when you have a migraine, it’s recommended to take your meds with coffee, or take meds with caffeine… it dilates the blood vessels in your stomach and helps the meds get absobed quicker into your system (or something like that).
I commend you for working so damn hard to get a grip on the finances, most people would have quit a long time ago… I don’t know how you do it.
And you’re still blogging! And still passing job interviews! GEEZ woman, take a break!
