feeling unwell
All day today I’ve been feeling nauseated and icky. I got a salad for lunch and threw out most of it since I just couldn’t eat it… it wasn’t a bad or odd salad. I just felt like I would be sick if I hate another forkful.
I felt light-headed on the train and tried to nap a little, but the sun was too bright. I sat on the West side of the train so the sun was blazing into my side of the car. When I got in the car, I just sat there for a bit with my eyes closed and my fists pressed into my eye sockets since my head began to ache. After a few minutes, I felt OK enough to start the car and drive home. I got in, had a piece of banana bread (which I also couldn’t finish) and then came up here. It was already 7:00, and the last few hours seem to have flown by… I looked at my assignment for school, but just can’t focus on it.
I’m going to let myself get to sleep and hope that I feel better in the morning. I was going to stop and get some anti-nausea syrup, but just didn’t have the energy. I used to take it when I had persistent nausea related to stress and depression. It’s an over the counter product - called “Emetrol.” But I don’t have the stuff on-hand and I’m just going to have to see if I can relax, get some sleep and get rid of this headache.
If not, I think I can allow myself to take a sick day since I’ve only taken one in the six months I’ve been at work, and that was due to post-wisdom tooth medication nausea. Ugh. And still, I have a paper to write. Maybe that’s part of the stress… no use worrying about it now.
