Feeling Blah

I’ve been feeling pretty worn down these last few days.  I woke up early (5am early, that is an inhuman hour for me) on Saturday to drive out to Venice Beach with Ramses.  Our hope was for him to quickly do some work at the Bank of America then go sit out on the beach as the sun was rising.  Well, it didn’t exactly go that way.  Despite all the romantic plans I woke up with a killer migraine.  I get them when I don’t get enough sleep and depending on the severity they can last for most the day.  I pushed past the headache because I knew Ramses had to go with or without me so I really wanted to be supportive and make the most of him having to work.  Well, the migraine was soon joined by car sickness which I get from not having anything to eat before a long drive.  And let me tell you a migraine and car sickness do not make good bedfellows.  I don’t think I have felt that sick since my gall bladder attacks.  I was so worried that I might actually throw up on the way home I made him stop at a Shell gas station and but me a big cup just in case!  It was 3 hours of pure hell.

We got home around 9am and I went straight back to bed.  Ramses joined me and we slept until 11am.  When I woke up my nausea was gone but the migraine was in full force.  So, we lazied around all day catching up on TiVo and watching Chuck season 2 on DVD.  My headache finally went away around 7pm… 14 hours of brain splitting pain!

When I woke up yesterday I felt much, much better but I felt really sluggish.  Fast forward to this morning and my energy still isn’t back.  I think it may be a combination of being sick on Saturday and the rainy weather.  All I really want to do is curl up in bed with my husband, my boys, and a book.  Instead, I am stuck here at work staring at a huge inbox and a looming Jan. 31st tax deadline.  Joy.

Here’s hoping tomorrow is a better day, not expecting any sunshine but I’d settle for just a sliver of motivation.
