So far this has been another lazy weekend, more by force than by choice. I slept in a bit yesterday but when I eventually woke up and got out of bed, I realize that I had a terrible headache. I took a shower, made some breakfast, and had some coffee, and hoped that I would start to feel better. My head was still throbbing so I took some migraine-strength Excedrin and crawled back in bed. I managed to sleep a little bit, but it mostly felt nice just to lie down with my eyes closed. I got up later in the evening to eat some toast and to watch a little bit of TV, but then I took a Tylenol PM and went back to bed at about 9:00. I woke up this morning feeling a little bit better. Instead of feeling like I was getting kicked in the head repeatedly, it only felt like someone stabbed a spear into my eyeball. I guess that's a bit of an improvement. I had some breakfast and took some more Excedrin, and my headache is more or less gone. I still feel a bit tired and weak, but at least my head feels better.
This type of thing has always happened to me. Whenever I'm coming off of a stressful week, my body eventually shuts down and I get really bad headaches. I never get sick otherwise—I haven't had a cold or flu in about 10 years—but I do get stress headaches. I got them when I was in school and I still get them now that I'm working. This past week at work had been especially busy and stressful, so I guess I shouldn't be surprise that I got sick this weekend. I'm just sad that it happened this weekend, because this is the first beautiful weekend we've had in a long time. It's sunny and clear, and temperatures are in the 60s. Oh well. I guess the good thing about all of this is that I've been forced to relax this weekend.
