"...the simple fact of writing helps us to organize our thoughts and see more clearly what is in our surroundings. A paper and pen perform miracles---they alleviate pain, make dreams come true, and summon lost hope..." ~Paulo Coelho (MAKTUB)~

Awful day

July 31, 2008

Early this morning I received a txt message from my boss asking me to go to the office early. I had to drag myself out of my bed because I wasn’t really feeling well.

I was so restless last night due to a severe throbbing headache that lasted for several hours. I usually don’t take medicines for headache but if it’s really worst one advil usually work for me. Last night was different, the pain reliever did not work this time. I was tempted to take more pain relievers but a nurse friend whom I texted for advice told me not to.  It was really frustrating and banging my head against my pillows did not help at all. I can’t help but cry because of the severe pain. I normally have a high threshold for pain but last night it was really intolerable. I didn’t know what time I finally dozed off, but that was maybe around 2 am because I can still remember the tv network signing off.

I cant find the energy to start my day working but I had no choice. I had to meet my boss and accompany her on field for our on-going research funded by ADB. I must have looked awful, and my eyes were really awful when I went to the office. I wore a cap with a wide brim at the front that I pulled low to hide my eyes. My boss did all the talking while I busied myself taking down notes. Of all places I have to tolerate the noise, smell, dust, and specially the crowd at the Trading Post where we had to meet with Mr. D.D. and other key informants for the study.T’was the longest half day ever. 

PS. I saw Mr. B. today, twice actually. Ain’t that a kick? Dunno…my reaction still boggles the mind. My heart and mind knows no logic when it comes to that person.
