Note to self: Do not ever drive again when youve got a really bad migraine and youve just eaten.
Today I was sitting at my computer doing the usual work when I started to see spots. I took my glasses off, rubbed my eyes, sat there for a few and then I went to go eat lunch. At lunch I started to feel the headache in my eye so I took an Excedrine Migraine. Thirty minutes later I was back at my desk, lights off and windows closed. I told the boss and she said I could go home. Keep in mind that I live in Garland and work in Uptown. That was probably the longest drive of my life - with the sun shining in my already hurting eyes and the bumpy ass road jumbling all that food in my stomach. It was so bad that when I got home I had to call Robert and tell him to make sure the door was unlocked, but with my luck I got stuck behind 2 people going up the same flight of stairs.

I ran in, dropped all my stuff, and went at it. I took some Imitrex and Promethazine afterwards and went to lay down. Not even 10 minutes later I was back in the bathroom hanging over that toilet seat. Shit, there went my Imitrex and Promethazine. It finally ended after a good sleep. Boy did it feel good to just sleep..

Lately my body has been feeling like it wants to completely shut down. I feel like a 24 year old in a 70 year olds body. For some reason, no matter what I do, I cant ever sleep in. If I know Im going to have time to sleep in late, Ill turn off all my alarms and put my phone on vibrate. The last time I tried to sleep in late my sister, Tina, decided she wanted to call me at 8 a.m. She rarely even calls me at all, but when she does its always around 10-12 to ask if I want to go with her to lunch. It made me wonder why, of all the days that should could call so early, she picked THAT day. For the past 2 nights Ive been waking up to my other sister Lisa's 5 a.m. alarm while she sleeps right through it. Today I didnt have to be at work until 1 p.m. but Lisa knocked on my door at 8 a.m. to tell me that I needed to wake up for work because normally on weekdays Im working at the law firm. I ended up kind of slamming the door shut and now that I think about it I will probably regret that when I really do sleep in late by accident.

Seriously people, I work 7 days a week. My body is in desperate need of sleep, so dont bother me until after 10 a.m.

Its days like this that make me wonder whether going back full time to Walgreens is a good idea or not. I dont think Ive mentioned it yet, but long story short - Im going back full time to be a Sr. Tech. Ive been there for 5 years (dont you like my 5 year pin? I dont) and its beaten me down plenty of times. Today there was a floater pharmacist and he kept asking me things that he should know, or to make decisions that should be based on him and not me. It gets extremely busy when someone cant pull their own weight but Ive gotten used to running around. That doesnt mean Ive gotten around to liking it though. There were no time for breaks which meant there were no time to eat. By the time I started driving home my stomach felt horrible, and by the time I got home I was gagging (literally) from hunger. As much as I hate it I seem to keep pushing myself to be better at work to just work more period whether it be at the pharmacy or at the law firm.

Now lets get something clear. Robert does not live with me. He DOES have the key to my apartment and he IS there more than I am, but he does not officially live with me. We are talking about moving to Lubbock so he can go to school but the only thing I can really get out of that is that I could probably go to school too. Plus they have a pharmacy school out there if I wanted to pursue that. But all that is long term so who knows. Hes still finishing up his school for now and Im still working hard as usual.
The river trip is just a few days away. Robert is more excited about it than I am which is kind of weird. I guess Im just iffy about it because of the tents we'll be in. Im dreading the heat, sweat, and dirtyness but what girl wouldnt? Anyway, there will be tons of pics to share which is a good thing since Robert and I need more recent pictures together. My stomach is feeling kind of queasy again.. ugh. Time to go.

What a coincidence. Yesterday when Robert and I were heading to Academy to buy a tent for our river trip I pointed Zenna out to him and told him that I wanted to try the place. Today, before I left for work, I caught Lisa on the phone with our cousin, Daniel. Later on, a little bird told me that Lisa was planning on going out, so when asked where she was going she replied "To Zennas." I invited myself, of course. I was very happy to see Daniel and the food was awesome. It was a fun night with mostly girl gossip (sorry about that, guys) and Ashley even earned herself a new boyfriend. The best part was when they brought out the Chinese Dragon for someones birthday. I havent seen one of those since I was a little girl. I will definately be going to that place again.

Heres another go at it. I remember back when it was all about Greymatter. Then it went from Greymatter to LiveJournal. Sometimes I wonder if LiveJournal got so big because of those that lacked their own websites to have Greymatter, or if it was because you had to be advanced in your webdesign skills to "install" Greymatter onto your site. Whatever the reason, those were the good 'ol webdesign days - up until everyone figured out what MySpace was. I remember when I first signed up for MySpace.. I thought it was the dumbest thing anyone could get. Nobody I knew had it. And then it blew up so I quit LiveJournal and moved the blogging to MySpace blogs. But the main thing that turned me away from MySpace were the layouts. The bad music everyone had. The thousands and thousands of pictures on everyones actual profiles (not in the albums) that loaded way too slow. The unmatched layout/text/color combination. I could go on and on. So I finally quit blogging there, or doing anything on there for that matter, and now Im here. I realize BlogSpot has been around for a while. I bet I knew before you did. But still.. goodbye Greymatter, LiveJournal and MySpace. Hello BlogSpot.
