I'm up. I'm wide awake. It is 10:45 PM and I am not sleepy!
This is going to be a problem come tomorrow morning as I sit at my desk and pour over the endless rectangles that make up my Excel database.
The last time I was wide awake at night was when I was nocturnal and jobless. Tonight we can blame caffeine and my self-diagnosed almost brain aneurysm. Don't panic, I said self-diagnosed not actual.
Yesterday at about five o'clock, as I was watching The Biggest Loser via hulu.com, I started to feel a headache come on and within about fifteen minutes it was in full force. So I stumbled to my bed to take a quick nap hoping it would help. About and hour later Brett came home, gave me the magical migraine pills and I was function again. However, the magical migraine pill only lasted like three hours which totally isn't how it normally works. I gave up and went to bed.
Sleep did not come.
Those magical migraine pills are loaded, I mean loaded, with caffeine.
So I spent the night with my head throbbing, and sleeping every thirty minutes or so. When it came time to wake up for work, I got in the shower, got dress, and then spent thirty minutes bent over the toilet contemplating how this would effect my work performance. I eventually called my boss about to cry in pain and explained to him that work was out of the question.
I then text Brett and told him to call me in two hours to make sure I was still alive. I was convinced I was going to lay down and have a brain aneurysm right there on my pillow. I took a caffeine migraine pill and some how went to sleep.
I woke up 1:00 PM shut all the blinds and did some light reading. I totally felt fine till about 6:30 PM when the slight throbbing in my head returned.
I took another migraine pill drank 32oz of Dr. Pepper and now I am screwed cause I'm never going to get any sleep for work tomorrow.
And I promised I am not a drug addict. I hate taking pills, I gag on them.
