Excedrin is my bitch lover

Today was fairly uneventful, well technically yesterday, but I haven't slept yet, so I'm just going to call it today. Got up around noonish and did my usual nothing most of the morning. Literally just did a whole lot of nothing, watched stuff I had DVRed, flipped through movies, surfed the net, the usual. Then after Chris left for work I decided to hit up his co-worker Eric to see if he wanted to hang out since he had mentioned on facebook that he was off today, and I didn't feel like hanging out at home alone all night. Turned out he did want to chill, so I took a shower and such and headed over there with a bunch of movies.

We ended up watching Red vs Blue season 4 which I discoved he actually knew about, which is rare. After that we decided to pop in Blades of Glory as well. I always forget how frickin hilarious that movie is. The only sucky part was that halfway through Blades I started to feel a migraine coming on, so I popped a couple of Excedrin hoping that I caught it early enough. By the end of the movie my head was pounding, and at one point I bent over to get something and my eyes started watering from the pain. I ended up leaving in a bit of a hurry mainly so that I didn't ralf in his living room, and to make matters worse it had begun downpouring outside so I had to drive home in crazy rain.

I was able to get home alright, but by the time I got into the house I could barely walk. My hands were shaking and I couldn't keep my head upright. I really haven't had one this bad in quite a while. I emediately grabbed my heat wrap and microwaved it, and that seemed to at least dull the pain slightly and kept me from puking. Luckily shortly after that the pills kicked in and I passed out. Then, barely two hours later Chris called to say hey and I woke up feeling much better, but had my normal post Excedrin stomach ache. I tried to go back to sleep after that with little success, so I got on the computer and did my usual rounds. After Chris got home, we hung out for a little bit and then he went to bed. After much prodding he got me to eat something and lay down, but sadly I was unable to sleep. Which brings me to now, nearly 4am and I am still awake because the damn caffeine from the pills has made me wide awake.

I hate that Excedrin is the only thing that works for me, because I have really grown to HATE caffeine. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE coffee. I feel I need to make that distinction. I love the smell and the taste, everything about it, love it. But, for some reason as I've gotten older I just cannot handle what caffeine does to my body. More and more now it gives me wicked panic attacks, stomache aches, and sometimes even heart palpitations. I dunno, I think there is something wrong with me. booo.

In other news, Chris and I are in the process of trying to decide if we should make a trip to Scranton, PA next weekend. Thanks to the wonderful The Office fansite Officetally.com, I found out yesterday that they have started doing "Office fan tours" in Scranton. Apparently the tours are four hours long, they start at the Steamtown mall and end at Poor Richards pub and include a meal, gift bag, and drinks for only $35!!! The only catch is that we have to get to Scranton which is a 3 hour drive from where we are. Apparently they will be doing the tours from now until the end of August. The reason we want to go next weekend is because Chris will have Friday and Saturday off from work due to his weird schedule this week since he is working on the NBA draft. The 35 bones isn't really the issue, it's mainly that it'll be at least another 40 bones in gas to get there and back. So, we are kinda hoping that we can get a couple other people to go along to help cut the cost a bit. I've already got one taker, so we'll see. I think it would be an awesomely fun day indeed :)

Well, it's now 4:30, so I should probably be packing it in, seeing as I'm having trouble typing. I just hope I can fall asleep in a reasonable amount of time. This blows.
