Oh, my pounding head!

It was 3 something in the morning when I woke up - my head hurt sooooo bad! I immediately started thinking...am I dehydrated, did I ride tense yesterday, was it something they used at the spa...I got up and took some motrin, but thought maybe I should get something else into my stomach with the motrin. Not really sure why I chose this, but I opted to mix up a protein shake and drink that. I also had some water, and crawled back into bed. I couldn't go back to sleep though - the headache was really making me feel sick.
I think it was only about 30 minutes or so later that I thought...uh-oh...I think I AM going to be sick! I ran to the bathroom and proceeded to throw up not 1, not 2, but THREE times. Of course Tucker came running to my rescue, wondering what was going on. I decided that maybe a hot shower on my neck/back might help. Then I start to feel like I'm going to pass out. This is great. Finally, my brain starts to function and it hits me how few calories I actually ate yesterday with all the commotion at the spa, and though the workout seemed SO short, it was still more than 3 hours of calorie-burning! Perhaps this is the reason for the severe headache?!?! Duh, Dawn, you know better than this! Anyway, I made some b'fast and ate it...mind you, this is all at 4-something in the morning...on a SATURDAY, when I should be snuggled up in bed! I started feeling a bit better after eating, and napped a little on the couch.
It's after 8 now and I've caught up on my blog, added to my packing list, played with Tucker, and actually started getting all my stuff together for the parents' to take with them. It may be a stressful day for Dawn!
Troy and I are planning to do a lake swim again today too, so I hope that goes better than last weekend's attempt! It won't be a wasted trip regardless, 'cause I have to pick up all his gear to send with my folks too. Yeehaw...it's really here!!!
