By which I mean I'm not dying (at least, not immediately), but I had a rough day.
I woke up with a bit of a headache. I took something around 11:30 for it. By 12, however, I was so nauseated I had to leave work quickly and speed home. I spent the entire afternoon feeling sick to my stomach and feeling hungrier than I ever have been in my life. I tried eating toast (and set off the smoke alarm when I burned it, which did not help the headache). As I was eating the toast I realized I wasn't the least bit nauseated. But as soon as I finished eating, it came back. So I ate some rice. Same thing. I was STARVING. So I ate some pumpkin ravioli. Then some fried rice with egg & veggies. I was FINE as long as I kept eating, but every time I stopped, I felt sick to my stomach and starving at the same time. It was the weirdest thing. And of course I kept getting chills and my head was hurting, so there was lots of tea and blanket snuggling. But I kept waking up coughing and congested with my ears hurting.
I 99% blame my allergiest. They cut their hours down to only Monday and Tuesday during the day and I work during the day, so I can't ever get there. Then I found out two weeks ago they're closing completely. I had my mother pick my serum up for me and I found a new allergist, but in order to accept me as a new patient, they have to do allergy testing on me. Which means I have to be off medicine for 3 days prior. So now, with all the mold and tree leaves everywhere, I've been off shots for a month and off medicine for a day on top of that. I'm starting to feel exactly like I did in 2011 before I started getting allergy shots. I'd forgotten how horrible that was. So much mucus settling in my stomach and making me feel nauseated constantly. I fucking hate that feeling. I'd forgotten how bad it was. And it was a whole lot worse than this back then, so I'm hoping it doesn't get to that point before my appointment Thursday.
But, seriously, I had a super rough, miserable day today. I couldn't do anything but huddle under a blanket and eat. I nodded off a few times and woke up coughing and gagging. Not good. But I'm tired and don't think I can make it to Thursday without sleeping.
There's a Deanfic I really, really want to write, and I started it yesterday (after cleaning my desk!), but I feel like crap and I'm not in the mood. So we'll see.
I'm going to go eat something else. My gods, I don't understand why I'm so hungry today. It's unnatural. I've eaten, like, 3 days' worth of meals just this afternoon. And then, like a stupid idiot, I left the fried rice out on the counter for 4 hours, so I had to throw the rest of that away. Stupid me! But at least the headache went away. Yeah. Eating. Going to go eat something else. Foooooooooood!
