Ugh.

Last Thursday, I woke up with a severe migraine. I called in sick to work and took some Rizatriptan, which is usually my best friend. Unfortunately, it was too late for medication and I spent the entire day on the floor of my bathroom. It carried over into the next day and I wasn't able to function until around noon.

I think that the cause of this migraine had several variables.

1. I did not eat dinner the night before and instead snacked on some cured meats that my sister-in-law had ordered.

2. I had a drink and did not have any water.  I definitely need to drink more water! I know this and still do not drink enough water.  I should be drinking water now!

3. Wednesday night was a singles happy hour event, which was stressful/nerve-wracking.

4. After attending the singles event and not eating dinner, I received a stressful phone call from work. Seriously, administrative assistants should not have such a high level of work stress!  If I am an on-call admin assistant, I should be compensated for that! 

Anywho.  Last Thursday sucked.

A Teenager Made Me Cry

A few days ago, I went somewhere knowing that members of my ex-boyfriend's family would be there. I was just hoping that my ex-boyfriend would not be there. Some friends tried to talk me out of going, but I wanted to support my friend and her family. I knew that if I saw my ex, I would leave immediately to avoid any conflicts. The friend that I was showing up for has two teenage daughters. The younger daughter spotted me and waved, then came over to talk to me. What she said to me made me cry and laugh at the same time. She made me feel validated and supported, which was exactly what I needed. Teenagers. They are amazing and special people.
