Well, I can confidently say that yesterday was my worst day in a long while. My stomach cramps were so bad that lunch ended up being a couple of spoonfuls of soup and then I gave up. By the end of the day, I had a massive headache that I think was from a combination of missing my pills, not drinking enough, and not having even my little bit of caffeine in the morning. I was also very physically weak, both from the cramps and from not eating or taking my pills.
I was able to have a proper dinner and though I went to bed with a pounding headache, it's mostly gone this morning.
I feel kind of bad because it was Jack's birthday and I spent it lying down, moaning in pain. I mean, we didn't have much actual celebration planned for the middle of the week (we went out to dinner last weekend and have tickets to a play this weekend), but it's not really how I envisioned things going, you know?
It might not always seem like it, but the things I do from day to day tend to flow from each other in a way that makes logical sense from my perspective. Now, having spent a day half-sleeping and dealing with pain and stress has sort of hit me with a mental reset. Between that and knowing that there's no way I'm actually back at full strength 24 hours later even if I feel so much better that it feels like I am, I'm going to make this a light day.
I'm not taking a day off, but I'm not going to block my time out, and I'm not going to feel bad if I end up going to lie down in the afternoon, or if I have to walk away from the computer because my headache comes back. I don't expect it to, as I'm 90% sure it was 90% not having enough to drink.
