thistlechaserAbout an hour before my alarm went off, I was awakened by pounding pain in my head. No matter what position I took, it hurt like hell, so finally I got up. That's when the nausea kicked in. Wheeeee. I was seriously considering calling in sick, but I took time off on Monday to go to the eye doctor, and I had to take a little more time off on the coming Monday for a follow-up check, so I figured calling in would be a bit much.
Thinking it was maybe a sinus headache, I took a hot shower (steam = good). Didn't help. Went out to my desk and sat there and took aspirin and water. After a while, that took the edge off, but there was still great pain and icky stomach. Prodded through getting ready for work.
Took more aspirin before leaving, and while I'm not feeling totally better, I no longer desire to cut my head off and dump it into the trash.
Go me! (Or, okay: Go aspirin!)
Hm. Wonder where cow orker is. Hope she doesn't call in sick...
Edited to add: Odd side-effect of my lingering headache: Animated icons are making me want to (literally) fall over. I'm trying to read my flist, but I can't read anything with these icons flashing and flickering in the corner of my vision.
Oh, and cow orker arrived. While she's a half-hour late (and I was a half-hour early), I'm always so relieved that she hasn't called in sick, that I can't be mad.
