Ughh

Some weekend this is turning into.

When yesterday began, I was all psyched at the prospect of Friday Night, particularly since leopard_lady had mentioned she was getting together at a pub she's fond of with her boyfriend and some mutual friends. So after either meeting up with Carly for a minute or going to the gym, I was going to meet them later.

That was until about 4pm or so, when the worst migraine I've possibly ever gotten decided to come along and completely level me. How I lasted at work for another 2 hours after that (in the name of Shit Getting Done) is beyond me. But I was pretty much in tears when I left. And on top of everything else, I started to get the cramps and backache associated with every woman's favorite time of the month. So I begged off, came home, and curled up into a little whimpering ball for most of the night. I tried to do a few things that I normally do around my room, but to no avail. I finally gave up and turned off the one light I could tolerate around 11. It's hideously ironic - the only pills that really do anything for the headache have caffeine in them, making it really, really hard to sit still. Last night when I felt well enough to sit up, I was a jittery mess. Blah.

This morning I woke up exhausted. The headache is mostly gone (but feels like it may be making something of a comeback). I have the cramps of doom on top of everything else. I went to get my allergy shot this morning and my doctor spent a few minutes asking if I was okay, as according to him I looked a little gray. My parents took me back to their house (my doc is in the old hood) and I've been basically useless all day.

I was supposed to go to a friend's birthday party tonight, but I don't think that's going to happen. And I'm right pissed about it to, as it looked like it was going to be a good time. ::sigh:: I shouldn't be so surprised to feel so beaten up after the week of non-stop stress that I've had, but somehow it always seems to sneak up on me.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go back to the fetal position.

Ughh
