Aching Eyeballs

Skipped school work today. Yesterday, I woke up and and went to the bathroom to...throw up!!! WTFudge?!? I immediately felt sick and decided to skip coffee and drink hot tea to settle my stomach (which I would regret later in the day).

I skipped breakfast because after drinking tea, my stomach decided to empty itself out again. Oh boy, this morning has not been working out for me. We had a full day meeting that day so I couldn't miss it. So I just sipped some water and went my merry way to the office.

I try not to go to work without having breakfast at home. I can't do what other girls do (ie. skipping breakfast) because it makes me feel more sluggish and lethargic. And I don't care if I'm not thin, btw. So this morning I was not my usual upbeat self. Joey went down to get me gatorade which helped me last throughout the day. And since I didn't have coffee, my migraine started to pound on my head like a whiny b*tch. Good thing I have this medicine with paracetamol and caffeine to give me my dose.


Fast forward to evening: I went home before 6pm. My brother was surprised I was home before dark. Told him I went straight home as I wasn't feeling well. I had a nap and when I woke up, I realized I have a fever, 38.5 degrees. My joints started to ache and my eyeballs felt sore and swollen! I had a few spoonfuls of lugaw before drinking my meds and going back to bed...

I drank medicine during the early morning and thank God my fever was down by then. My joints were still aching and my eyeballs are still sore but I guess you can't complain to having a whole day to yourself. :-)
