Headache of a Day

Friday, August 18, 2006

Yesterday I woke up with a killer headache. Any other Thursday, I might be able to just stay in bed. However, I had committed to occupying Zoey for the day. Zoey is at the great, cute age where she is past the terrible twos but still such a kid. And just as sweet as can be. Almost makes you want one...almost, but not quite.

We headed off to the pool which is always fun. I thought the chlorine might make me feel better. A bit, but not entirely. Zoey is a little fish. Well, she prefers that we call her a little mermaid. Did I mention that she is jumping off the diving board. The outdoor pool requires that each kid who wants to jump off the board take a swimming test. She passed with flying colors and was off to the diving board!

Zoey on the diving board causes quite a spectacle. Everybody kind of stops what they are doing to see this little girl on the diving board. She will do jumps, flips and has attempted diving. Ritenour Swim Team be ready in 12 years!

I digress about my headache. (It's my blog and if I want to make it all about me.) By the time we got home from the YMCA, I could barely think straight. Usually a greasy burger and/or chocolate mint ice cream along with a good dose of some sort of medicine will cure the headache. Yet, on Friday we were having our final weigh-in for the 10 week weight loss group. What a dilema! Eat a cheeseburger or suffer and get paid? Well, I went for the cheeseburger and prayed it wouldn't matter the next day. I then took a nice dose of Sudafed and Excedrin.

I took a bit of a nap and woke up without the headache. However, I still felt like crap and had somewhere to go. I took the longest shower I possbily could and headed off to my thing. I think my body was trying to sweat out the toxins from my body. I wan't hot, but couldn't stop sweating. It was truly just pouring out of my face--like tears!

Well, of course, guy I am crushing on is at this little thing. I am sure I made quite an impression, if he even noticed. Maybe he thought I was having a hot flash. I'm older than him, but not that old!
