 I woke up with a migraine this morning.

I'm guessing it was caused from the physical, emotional, and mental stress I ended up having yesterday at work because it was...a hard day to say the least. Very draining and I suppose it drained me more than I thought because I'm thinking my muscles tensed up during the night and I didn't sleep very relaxed.

So when I woke up this morning just before 6am it was to a pounding headache behind my left eye. *exhales*

I got up long enough to grab a tylenol and get some heat on my shoulder from a heatpack and went back to bed for another hour...but the headache was still present when I had to actually get up to go to work.

I ended up taking an Excedrin....

And a 15 minute nap on my break.

And another Excedrin...

To no relief. :( 

And I apparently wasn't as recovered from yesterdays turmoil as I'd been hoping because everything just seemed....harder.

Especially with a pounding head. 

And unfortunately...I couldn't last. 

It was getting to the point where I was feeling sick to my stomach, where it was difficult trying to focus on talking to customers.

So I called it.

Three hours into my shift I had to leave work early because I knew I wasn't going to last the entire 8 hours. 

And so I came home and jumped straight into the shower to have the hot water pound on the back of my neck for like 20 minutes or so before I grabbed another heat pack and crashed in bed to sleep away the pain.

Which helped.

By the time I woke back up I was feeling better, my head wasn't aching as much like...barely at all, but I felt...unstable and weak. Sooooooo yah I spent the rest of the day just resting to make sure the migraine stayed away.
