Like today. The inner voices in my head thought it was my alarm clock waking me up this morning at 3:30AM. I was wondering why it was happening earlier than usual. I still had a couple hours to sleep! But the crankiness I was experiencing from being woken up early was soon replaced with a nasty pain in my stomach. Felt like I had swallowed a sock, or a box of Kleenex and it was lodged in my small intestine. That was special.
I stayed home from work, initially thinking that I was nearly playing hookie, as the pain wasn't THAT bad and it would probably pass soon.
But its still hanging out and I don't like it one bit. Lying down doesn't work, standing up makes it worse. So I'm trying to sleep but its hard cause I'm not comfortable. I don't have things like Tums and Pepto on hand, and I certainly don't want to drive to the store to get some, so I tried a glass of water with 1/2 a teaspoon of baking soda in it, per the advice of Dad. Besides tasking pretty gross, the effects were not noticeable.
I just am bored, feeling bad, want to the world to feel sorry for me, and I want someone to talk to. Yet talking hurts. I'm in a pickle.
Current mood: grumpy
