Rolaids does NOT spell relief

especially when the problem isn't in your stomach.

Ok, rolaids are actually my favorite antacid, but they really don't help with my current issue.

Migraine.

Ow.

I got one last night, to blame I'm guessing is the donut I treated myself to* from Tim's. They were out of honey dip (how DARE they?) and out of my next three choices, so when I heard in the list of what they DID have, "Boston cream", I interrupted the young (seemed VERY young, but maybe not...) girl who was rattling them off faster than Marley scuttles away from the yard towards the car.

*I decided I had been good, and deserved a treat. If it works for Marley, it works for me! Or something.

So I spent the better part of yesterday evening wearing Chris' CN hat (kinda like the old time conductor hats- it's huge) pulled down low, so that I could get anything done. Once I was wearing the hat, the pain levelled off at a low dull throb, unless I accidentally glanced in any well-lit direction...

The real issue was the dizziness, the slight aura things and the nausea, oh gawd the nausea.

Last night reminded me of how horrible I felt while I was still taking my antideppressants (for what started out as anxiety, and turned into a combo of that and depression, f*cking pills and their d@mn side effects... just a little bitter about the $$$ I spent on them, the neverending side effects, the numbness I now realize I felt when I was on them. Until I stopped taking them, I never truly realized how much of an effect they had on me. More on that another day.). As Chris well knows, I used to feel sick ev.er.y. damn. day. Maybe once a month I wouldn't have some sort of nausea. Maybe.

Today, I woke up feeling better, but the last 4 hours, I could feel it creeping back. now I am sitting with my work hoody hood pulled as far forward as I can get it, wearing sunglasses in the office. Trying to not give in to the temptation to call my boss and say, "hey, wanna come cover so I can go home and lay down?"

It's not too bad. Dull throb. Light sensitivity's milder than yesterday.

Besides, I have only got 2 hours left in the shift. Then I get to go to the library and pick up the books that are in, go home, see if Chris wants to come shopping, then go to the grocery store. Not sure which yet. (Thinking about going to Safeway... the IGA has really crappy produce, both of them. I need apples to make a pie on Saturday.)

Oh, I need to gas up again. (Tempted to tell Chris to take my car to Edson tomorrow, it's 96.9/L there. Here? Still 103.9/L.)

Gotta go help a customer now!
