I had a migraine today. Ouch. I woke up, took a shower, drove to work, everything was fine. I started testing some spreadsheets and I could not get my eyes to focus on the computer. I just need coffee, right? Wrong. Coffee doesn't help. I need to turn off the desk light, right? Wrong. That doesn't help. I need to take a quick break, right? Wrong. There's nothing to do escape the pain. But Patrick, you didn't break down and take medicine did you? Yes, I'm a sellout. I took Excedrin Migraine. That's legit stuff. Its Tylenol, Bayer, and No-Doz in a two pill punch. Please don't tell Quanah Parker. He's going to kick me out of his club.
I drove home and only the Lord knows how. You have to be a Calvinist to drive home at 75 mph when you can't even tell how close another car may (or may not) be in front of you, but I made it. I basically turned the lights off and slept like a log. I woke up when Becky came home for lunch and made me a sandwich. Now I feel 99% better. However, I did miss my free lunch, but Becky made a turkey sandwich.
On a side note: Becky makes a great sandwich. If this recession gets worse, I'm going to have her make sandwiches to sell for 3 quarters each. Take that, Hoover (Herbert Hoover, that is).
Work this week has been rough. It's not that I've had too much to do, it's just the opposite. I haven't had enough to do. It's been kind of nice having the afternoon off, even if I did have to feel like one of the guys from the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan for two hours.
We're going camping this weekend! I am so excited. The truck is already loaded up and ready to go (it has been for at least an hour) and Becky doesn't even get off work for another hour. Did I tell you I was excited? I have a few things planned that Becky doesn't know about, but I think she's going to real
ly enjoy them.
Hopefully, this will be us in a few hours:
