Inhale, relax, repeat

So, today I woke up with my usual throbbing great migraine. I intended to get a lot of work done today, so I was pretty pissed…especially since there was no cocodamol (which is the only painkiller I have access to that helps at all). I told my dad and he decided to give me his hxc painkillers.

Now, 4 hours later, I’m totally zonked out. THE PAIN IS GONE AND IT’S AWESOME, but I’m too out of it to work. My body feels so heavy and I’m struggling to talk. The half life of the drug is 7 hours…it’s gonna be well into nighttime before the effects are gone.

But I guess at least I’m not laying in bed, screaming inside from pain. God bless modern medicine.

I can feel a bone in my chest sticking out…kind of in the middle, next to where the bashed-in bit is. This is a new one. I need to eat more…but I really can’t. I feel way too sick to even eat breakfast this morning. : (

Today is Monday. Come Friday I have to have my lab report complete, bound, checked in the plagarism software and submitted electronically as well as as two hard copies. It’s Monday and I haven’t even gotten onto the results section yet, which is the section hardest part, with the hardest part being the discussion, which I have also not done.

Tuesday and Wednesday I have a “radiation course” for the entire day. This really just gives me today and Thursday to get the report done. I barely slept last night and feel pretty ill because of it. Think I’m gonna get it done? I doubt it. I dunno how I managed to do these things every week in my third year. They are bitches.

My Saturday has been such a waste. I forgot how often I got migraines during term-time. I ended up sleeping and puking the day away. The codeine didn’t even do anything bar knock me into a deliriously deep sleep.

I didn’t manage to go out, talk to anyone I haven’t managed to speak to all week or get any uni stuff done. I’m being dramatic, but dammit, I was looking forward to Saturday so much.

I sure haven’t. All I’ve had to eat today is a few peanuts and half a hot chocolate. My stomach is BURNING.
