Sunday, 2:00 p.m.: My head sort of hurts. Maybe I should eat something.
Sunday, 5:00 p.m.: My head still hurts, I should take some medicine. And take a nap.
Sunday, 7:00 p.m.: Nap over. Try to eat something. Pizza with spicy meat stuff on it does not go down well. Put back in refrigerator, go back to sleep.
Sunday, 9:00 p.m.: Okay, I feel good enough to at least roam around, and finish that pizza.
Sunday, 9:30 p.m.: Excedrin start to wear off; take more Excedrin. Try playing some video games. Ate some jellybeans.
Sunday 11:00 p.m.: Tired. Bedtime. But I’ll read something first.
Monday 12:00 a.m.: Perhaps eating jellybeans (sugar) and taking Excedrin (caffeine) wasn’t such a good idea.
Monday 1:00 a.m.: Still awake. Change alarm from 9:15 to 9:45.
Monday 2:00 a.m.: Still awake. Take a shower.
Monday 3:00 a.m.: At least my bed is very comfortable. Change alarm to 10:45.
Monday 4:00 a.m.: Bed is starting to get very warm. I consider going into work, but only very briefly. I feel the caffeine starting to wear off.
Monday 4:30 a.m.: Unfortunately, the pain killers also wear off. I take some non-awakening ibuprofen, but am still in pain.
Monday 5:00 a.m.: Clay arrives at work, and I’m still in pain, in bed, and wide awake.
Monday 5:30 a.m.: Approximately, I fall asleep.
Monday 10:45 a.m.: Alarm. Fortunately, no headache. Day begins.
I’m tired.
It’s amazing.
So many people throw so many pills at headaches, yet fail to just drink water and rehydrate themselves.
