ouch!

Man, I'm really starting to freak about about this move.

I started getting a headache last night, so I took a Goody's and figured that maybe it would handle it. So I woke up this morning with a killer migraine. I got up and took my uber migraine pill which makes me feel like shit, so I promptly tried to go back to sleep. I don't know how successful I was at that but a couple of hours later, I still had a headache. I started freaking out cuz usually the pill works in about two hours.

I go through a series of different feelings when I take these pills. None of them are particularly pleasant, but I've gotten used to what happens and I can usually tell by what point the headache should be subsiding. But today, it wasn't. So, I asked my mom for some cereal and ate some Cheerios. I laid back down and about an hour later realized the headache was gone. But, then I just felt like complete ass so I canceled the dermatologist appointment I had and tried to rest for an hour before Annette came over to start packing the basement.

All day I felt like a space cadet and was very tired and drained. If you can imagine - the pill is a cerebral vasoconstrictor. Which means it constricts the blood vessels in my brain. So imagine what it's like going around all day with restricted blood flow to your brain but increased blood flow everywhere else (because that's how vasodilators and vasoconstrictors work, whatever it does to your cerebral vessels, it does the opposite to the vessels in the rest of your body). Anyway, it's really weird and not in any kind of good way at all.

So, I've been trying to get everything together for Vanderbilt that I am supposed to do for school. I remembered I was supposed to go to the doctor and get all these immunization records and some additional shots and I thought it was supposed to be done by Aug 1. Well, I was supposed to have turned it in by July 13. Oops.

I managed to get some of the other paperwork printed, signed and mailed off. So then I called and went down to the Piedmont Minor Emergency Clinic to get these stupid shots. Ended up having to get Hepatitis A & B, Meningitis and a TB test. I also have to go down to GSU and get my stupid immunization records from them and I have to go back in two days so they can see what happened with my TB test.

I will need two more shots in the Hep A&B series that I will need to get at Vanderbilt. So I guess I'm just gonna bring the form with me and go to the Student Health Center when I get up there and turn in the paperwork and find out if I'm in any trouble for turning it in late, or if I'm not going to be able to enroll in the student health insurance or what the deal is.

My right arm hurts like shit already. I know the left will follow tomorrow. And I'm supposed to pack sometime? I have dinner with Amber and her parents tomorrow night, then lunch with Kimberly Wednesday and then Rachel Thursday, then the 545 and Ginny's bday party Friday night......sheesh. And, I really wanted to meet with my sponsor before I leave, too. I have no idea how I'm going to do all this.

Plus, I need to get my tail light fixed and my mom needs new tires. Meh. I guess I should get up earlier in the morning or something. Booo!

Annette has been kicking ass packing the basement, though, so that is a HUGE help. I will probably break down and get her to help pack some of the other rooms that I can stand to have someone else pack for me. I hate moving so much. I can't begin to tell you.

Ok, I'm done for today. Gotta go get some sleep.
