I suffer from migraines. It's been a problem since puberty, although has increased since I hit my 20s and started working for a living.
In general, I can keep them under control by eating regular, well balanced meals and sleeping enough. However, I have a toddler, so both of those things sometimes get thrown out the window.
Like today.
I should have grabbed a small thing to eat before I got to work instead of waiting to eat breakfast until I was sitting at my desk. Usually, I can wait until I get to work to eat, but some days, not so much.
So I've had a persistent headache all morning. Normally, I can get rid of these by having a cup of coffee. I'm normally a green tea sort of girl, but damn it, sometimes I need the caffeine. And when this happens at work, I can usually use a splash of a coworker's half and half since I don't drink coffee regularly enough to justify bringing in my own creamer. But, vegan experiment month. This makes borrowing creamer from coworkers harder, since there's not a lot of silk creamer floating around the office (which, considering how many vegetarians are here, is actually kind of surprising).
So I braved the cold and walked to the coffee shop that's two blocks away. They have really good coffee and soy milk! YAY! Only, I really only need a small cup of it. And I have no cash. And there's a $3 minimum charge on credit card purchases. And none of their sandwiches or pastries are vegan. And I already have a soup for lunch.
But they did have bananas. Hooray for more fruit! Total purchase came to $2.94
The amount of effort that it took to find coffee to relieve my headache is kind of amusing me today. Tonight, I'm getting my own soy creamer for work. :P
Also: I still have a headache.
