Crush all humans

amnesiackIn a mind-blowing twist after yesterday's commentary on co-workers working from home, I worked from home today and drank tea with honey with it. However, my reasons for not leaving the house had nothing to do with ice and/or snow.
It's a fairly well-known fact that I get migraines. Typically, when I get a migraine, I also get a bit of nausea. Today, I have a migraine that's mid-level on the brain-shredding infini-pain, but for some reason the nausea is off the scale. So, since about 5:30 this morning I've been vomiting every 30-60 minutes or within five minutes of trying to eat or drink anything, whichever comes first. To facilitate the working from home (instead of taking a true-blue sick day), I kept a plastic tupperware container at my desk while I worked, so I wouldn't have to worry about making it to the bathroom when the inevitable torrent came. Vomiting into a container is interesting, because you can actually judge the volume of how much you've puked up; it was generally bigger than I expected. Also, liquid vomit is very warm, because I could feel the heat through the container as I held it. Towards the end of the day, the vomit also became slightly flecked with blood; I know this is only because my throat has gotten raw from the number of times I've puked over the course of the day, but it's still a disconcerting thing to see.
Something brought to my attention today that I had forgotten since I've been wearing earplugs when I sleep for the past year and a half: One of my cats snores a little in her sleep. It's frickin' cute.
