DePaul vs Cincinnati – Big East Network – 7 ET

Woke up around 3am with a horrible migraine. Not again!
OMG!

We had only been asleep for a couple of hours.

One of us is super cranky about being disturbed while sleeping (I won’t mention any names)
So I sat on the bathroom floor for a while.

Believe me, this had nothing to do with drinking. I really didn’t have that much to drink. This was another wonderful migraine!

So discouraging! This mini-vaca was intended to be my respite before the madness of March set in.

After a while, I tried to throw up and had zero success. So I took more meds and went back to bed.

I attempted to put myself into my ‘migraine coma’ for about an hour – didn't work.

There were many times in that hour that I begged God to just put me out of my misery. I was done living with this pain. It’s just not worth it anymore.

Since God did not comply, around 5, I took a steaming hot shower. Then was finally able to throw up.

Crawled back in bed around 6a.

I had to get up at 9 to ensure we would be on the road by 10. By that point, I had the migraine under control It was now at least tolerable.

We headed to my Cincinnati “home” – the Marriott Kingsgate. Got checked in. I ordered room service and was able to take a few nibbles before heading to work. While someone else had a grand feast – in bed – das boot!

Dave had a special day planned. NOTHING!
He was skeptical about my grand plan for his vacation day… which included room service, napping, daytime tv, napping….

I headed to work.
Thankfully, I was working with Rich, who is awesome!
He understood that I was in pain and took it easy on me.

On my dinner break, I checked in with “vacation boy” – he was LOVING his day of NOTHING! At least something was working out on this trip!
