I tried the new drug my doc gave me and I wound up with a raging headache just before bed. I figured it would go away but it did not. I don’t get headaches and when I do sleeping for sure wipes them out. This was pretty bad and woke me up during the night. I figured I wouldn’t be going into the office. I slept in and went through the normal morning routine but something inside of me just said you need to go back to bed today. I listened to that voice and took the day off.
I did go back to bed. I figured I was sleeping too much when the grass guys woke me up. That was not a great way to wake up but I suppose it did the job. I moved to the chair and watched TV. Wouldn’t you know it I fell asleep again. There is something inside of me that if I am bored my body just shuts down, it’s not like I can control it when it hits it’s all systems down. I used to fall asleep at work in meetings thankfully that doesn’t happen mostly because I get angry or have a strong desire to reach the end of the meeting.
I did manage to make it virtually to the funeral of my neighbor. It was a short service that lasted 30 minutes with only one song. It was tough to sit through and watch other people breakup but I didn’t shed a tear. I felt sad but that’s about it. If I was there in person I think that things might have been different but then again we will never know. I do hope that this is the last funeral I have to attend for a very long time. This was a very elderly person that lived a rich, long and fulfilling life. I’m jealous a little bit but only because if life was to stop for me today – my life is no where as rich or fulfilling as I’d like it to be. I feel old but in the grand scheme of things I am still young.
Tonight will be interesting, I do hope that I sleep because I really need to get back tomorrow. I won’t be making it in the office this week but there is still work that needs to be done. I wasn’t thrilled about taking today off but I don’t feel guilty. When I am out everyone else has to work twice as hard, that has to speak volumes for the weight I pull.
Looking forward to supper I have a very large beef burrito from the grocery store to devour and I have some sour cream to go with it. I might eat some ice cream afterwards depending on how I feel. I’ve had my mind set on this meal since Sunday when I spotted this plump masterpiece. I do hope that it tastes as good as it looks.
My head is still bothering me a little bit but I hope to manage. I already know to cut the dose in half of the new medicine when I take it again. I probably won’t be brave enough for that until Friday night or the weekend. I am not a fan of pain in any part of my body. My head feels like a giant watermelon that I just want to hit with a sludge hammer and I know that won’t cure anything. When I get a bad headache that is my go to thought. I wish there was a drug that didn’t have any side effects, maybe someday it will exist but I don’t think that will happen in my lifetime.
Here’s hoping that your day is better than mine and life is treating you well. 2 more days until the weekend is here. Talk with you soon.
