My day so far, or why I love Friday the 13th

2:30am- wake up with horrid headache, get up, take 2 motrin, get back in bed, tell dog to get back in bed.

2:35am – realize it is a migraine and it’s not going away with 2 motrin, get up, take Imitrex, turn off alarm clock, get back in bed, tell dog to get back in bed.

2:37am-3:00am- lay in bed moaning and whining like a dying person.

4:30am – wake up drenched in sweat like I had a fever and it just broke, think about getting up to start work, fall back to sleep.

5:00am-wake up to B telling me he is going to the gym, tell dog to get back in bed, hear a loud thump, but no other noises, doze back off. 

5:05am – wake up again to B coming upstairs saying he thinks he broke his toe, get up, turn on light, look at toe, go downstairs get ice, come back up, put on his foot, turn off light, get back in bed, tell dog to get back in bed.

5:30am – B says he thinks he wants to go to the hospital.  “FOR A TOE???”  I say lovingly.  Get up, turn on light, find nurse hotline number, call and hand the phone to B, turn off light, get back in bed, tell dog to get back in bed.

5:35am-nurse guy tells B to go to hospital since his pain is at an 8 or 9 (which for B means it actually really hurts, poor guy), get up, turn on light, get dressed, let dog out.

5:40am – wake up K.  “I’m tired, mommy!"

5:45am – Pippi in crate, B in car, K still tired, on our way to St. Joe’s.

6:05am – check B in, convert his weight from kg to lbs on my phone, privately think about the best way to broach a need to lose a few lbs to him now that he can’t walk.
