Excessive

Today was a bad day thanks to work. It was busy, the type of day I just can't stand at work, and it gave me a crippling headache that just fucked my entire afternoon and evening up, and only now is the pain reduced to the point of functioning.

My night was messed up last night as far as sleeping goes. I went to sleep quite early, woke up in the middle of the night for a couple hours, actually talked to Mark and Julie as they were randomly up in the middle of the night, and then went back to sleep, woke up again earlier than my alarm, talked to Bekki and then we finally got up together at 6:00am.. or... 6:05am I guess. I worked at 7am and Bekki had an exam in the morning, so we decided to simply split a cab and go together, so we ate breakfast and got ready and left together. The checker parked in the neighbour's driveway, so we were waiting and waiting but it was actually there for awhile, and finally they called and told us... retarded place to park in my opinion, considering we can't see the car from our house, so how the hell are we supposed to know? Besides that, the car smelled like poop, and he was unpleasant.

I was four minutes late for work and the manager on duty tried calling me, front desk tried, it was kind of hilarious. I don't particularly feel like going into the extreme detail of exactly what my work day consisted of, but I can go over it in general. I didn't start the day with a headache, in fact I pretty much went the entire day without one, and it wasn't until I left work, and caught the bus that it started to hit me. Hotel continental was busy, about 100 people and of course about 70 of them came right at the end, at the same time I'm trying to get brunch out all at once. It causes stress to be sure, and it's not fun. Brunch was about 70 people, and I got the food out alright, with no problems. At the same time, there was a wedding sample show for 120 people in the grand hall, which Chef and Julie were mainly taking care of, and I wasn't really involved, I mainly got breakfast reset and then kept brunch running smoothly. It almost felt wrong, like.. I felt guilty that I wasn't helping more, even though I was running around non-stop. Like.. I think I sat down once, and I was so sore, and achey and my eyes hurt, and I just wanted the day to be over, but it kept going, and I swear to god, time stood still for awhile at one point. The day felt like it lasted forever and ever and ever, and it was pretty painful. The kitchen was a complete mess, disorganized and just shit everywhere. Days where that happens I feel the worse, by far. I tried my best to keep it clean, or do what I could, but it just seemed to stay in a disorganized state, even up to when I left. After all the crazy brunchness, and crazy (eventual) helping out with the wedding show, 3pm finally came around, and I cleaned up what I could, and left, to meet Bekky and catch the bus home.

We made our way home on some of the world's most stinkiest busses, waiting downtown, but of us in this state of complete exhaustion, discomfort and pain (we were both quite pathetic), eventually making our way home, and to be honest I barely remember walking in the door, but we both, in unison, plopped down on the bed and laid in bed until 5pm.

I was starting to get really hungry, so I got up and made meatloaf for dinner, with sour cream and onion mashed potatoes, with some veggies. Dinner was good, but by that point my headache had turned into a crippling migraine, I couldn't even finish half my plate. I tried to enjoy it but I couldn't, it was a terrible experience and I just felt like shit sitting there trying to eat. Afterward, I made a coffee in an attempt to ease my pain with caffeine, but it didn't help, and the bad aftertaste of coffee in my mouth somehow made my pain just that much worse. The rest of the night is kind of a haze, a weird floating in and out of sleep or maybe not even sleep but... my mind just stopped working. I took a lot of medication in an attempt to get any kind of relief, even just a tiny bit would help. I think it eventually helped a bit, by the time 9pm came around, it was Game of Thrones time, you know... date night so I got up and sat on the couch, and while it hurt to move my head, or do anything that cause any increase blood pressure, if I sat still, I felt a bit better than before.

Game of Thrones was amazing as usual, and just as much as ever, it's really fun to see the book come to life, although I find myself kind of annoyed with certain things they rewrite for the show, like changing a characters role, or the details of what happened in certain situations, but I suppose it's not really that big of a deal. I loved the episode, and can't wait for next Sunday already.

After the show, I had a nice refreshing bath that helped my head a bit more, and even lit some candles for some added relaxation. After my bath, I dropped one of my plugs for my ear and spent like fifteen minutes trying to find it with Bekki... finally finding it to great relief, and then sitting down to listen to some music and write this fine entry.

I have the day off tomorrow, so hopefully I can sleep in, relax, do things I enjoy, clean a bit, play some games, be at rest and feel okay about it. I know that it probably won't happen, but I like to write as if it will. As for the rest of tonight... who knows. I might just read, or may play some Mass Effect 2 before I get too sleepy. Have I mentioned that I love Mass Effect 2? I do! It's pretty fucking fun, and a really great single player game experience (so far). Anyway.. that about wraps that up. What a tiring and painful day.
