oh dear lord
my head hurteded!!!
the day before yesterday ri got a little bit of snow, 6 inches or so. before it came down my work decided to close down at 11:30. i grabbed a few groceries (btw, never, EVER shop when there is ugly weather. ri'ers treat it like armageddon) and then went home for lunch. afterwords I passed out for a few hours in a nice food coma.
every time i nap i sleep for several hours and as a result i have a hard time falling asleep later on. this day being no exception, i stayed up until 4:30 am. because of the snow i had decided it would be in my best interest to get up at 6 so i could get ready, de-ice my car and have plenty of time to drive to work. unfortunately an hour and a half of sleep wasn't enough and i woke with some pretty severe neck pain.
normally when i am in pain i take one percocet, lay down for a bit and voila - no more pain. i couldn't do that, however because i was at work. so i took a few half-pills through the day and a whole pill in the evening after i got off of my part-time job.
well, this morning i woke up with the nastiest drug-hangover. all i could think about was why my body would wake me up in this condition! i was nauseous and in pain. several times i had to run to the bathroom because i thought i was going to barf, though luckily i never did. there is nothing worse than barfing! i took two maximum strength excedrin and meditated for 2.5 hours. WOO! that about did the trick! after eating a banana and some eggs i felt so much better.
now i am going to work on my food writing homework and perhaps go visit a school friend in boston before he moves to kansas. yes, kansas - but its only for a phd, so i dont pity him too much.
(side note: when i ran spell check LJ i spelled nauseous incorrectly and offered 'anuses' as a potential correction. :-p )
