I have to start by saying that I don’t think this post will have anything at all to do with epilepsy (except – touch wood – still haven’t had a seizure in getting on for two weeks).
Yesterday was my last day at work – and my feelings surprised me, I was absolutely fine walking out that door as an employee for the last time. I thought I might cry or suddenly go OMG what have I done!? But nope, nothing like that. Might have been different if I didn’t know I was seeing all of them again within the next few hours at the Boomworks 8th birthday party.
So that party is why I felt like crap for the majority of today. And I didn’t even get home that late 12am – really that’s nothing. And I left behind a lot of colleagues, well ex-colleagues I guess. So I wonder how they are feeling. And really, I am a bit of a two-pot screamer, I didn’t have a hell of a lot to drink, I guess it’s just the fact that I ate nothing, mixed my drinks and I also don’t really drink much either. I woke up today with a hell of a hangover. I had to be at a children’s party at 10am. Then at Lilly’s swimming lesson at1pm. Then I had to get some shopping on so I did it as soon as Lilly went to sleep, even though what I really wanted to do was go upstairs to bed!
So got the shopping done, walked it the front door and there is silence. Golden. Sleep time! But no, suddenly “I WANT TO GET UP!!!”. Bugger!!!!! So that’s the end of that. I still lay on the couch but she kept trying to play with me. And so today’s worst mother in the world puts on a video so I can get that just even half an hour’s sleep. And just as I put the video on, mum calls! And I love my mum, but I just wanted to say GO AWAY…………..but I have to talk to my dear mum.
So finally got off the phone, had maybe 45 mins sleep which helped a lot, then got ready to go out again. But not drink. And I’m home again, and it’s not even 11pm! YAY!
Sorry for the boring post – but I guess in a way it can still show you that living with epilepsy still gives you average days everyone else has, include nasty hangover ones. Good night folks!
