Ruh roh?

Good morning ... let me tell you about my day.... for some reason I volunteered to do some extra mural study... called a Diploma of Manufacturing Management... this involves four two day block courses ... two assignments and a project.... just why oh why I am torturing myself with this Dean does not know... Uppie "says what do you think you are doing stupid" ... well anyway every couple of weeks I get rental car and drive an hour to Hamilton for the block courses... I have and still do occasionally, suffer from migraines which range from three day annoying aches controllable with pills and more annoying than debilitating to full on vomiting, head blasting and blinding episodes which make you want to die... the thing is and this is the sad part for me in my situation.. is that you do get warning... you can feel them coming on hours before crunch time.... crunch time meaning when it is so bad you are no longer able to function... however it has been so long since I have had a bad one that I have not been religious about taking my medication with me at all times... and I left my money behind...
When I woke up yesterday I could feel it lurking around in the back of my head... but so often does it fade away again with a nice shower and some meditation... what I do is stand in the shower with my face in the water stream... and picture the pain being absorbed by the water and flowing down and into the drain... sounds weird I know... but then I am weird... let me tell you it works... so ok I get to Hamilton the room is hot and stuffy.. we are doing graphs, maths and statistics... by lunchtime I am concerned... I tried to get some drugs from the receptionist... I knew it was futile.. as the company has a policy of not stocking any pills... I was very polite but inside I was screaming... "ok I'll just go away and fucking die in a corner"...
by the end of lunch I knew I was in for trouble and made my excuses and left... by the time I had collected the rental from the car park and was on my way... I was ready to vomit... now let me tell you vomiting out a car door while you are waiting for a green light is not the best... to avoid this I pulled into a car park area.. sat for a while and the feeling went away... this was my first and fatal mistake.. I should have got out and made myself throw up...
Patience uppielytes I am getting to the good part... I got out of the city into a rural area and was looking for a place to stop and be sick.... when "rut roh"... needless to say I did not make it.... and vomited all down my front, on the seat, the steering wheel and the door of the car.... (insert fuck fuck fuck in here..) I drove on another mile or two to a lay-by and got changed... luckily I had spare clothes... I am a very organised person... I put my jacket on the floor of the car so that I did not have to drive with my feet in vomit and continued... the trouble is by this stage my vision is buggered my head is exploding and I have to stop and dry retch half a dozen times on the way home... at one stage I almost gave up as I almost could not drive... every truck that came towards me was an invitation ... one swerve of the wheel and lets finish this... the one hour journey took me three hours...
and when I got home I spent the rest of the afternoon and evening sleeping which is why I am awake at half past one in the morning typing this... one last thing... my wife bless her (may I never be unfaithful in body, soul or mind)...ok ok will body and soul be good enough... well anyway she cleaned up the car for me... it's still a little pongy but lets hope the rental people do not get too pissy about it all...
