I’ve had this on-going headache for about a week or so now. I’ve been eating Imitrex like it’s candy – but it’s the only medicine that makes the pain go away for half a day.

I was in  a long meeting this afternoon (MBA Learning Alliance Company in Leland) and I hit a wall with this headache again – (I can always tell when it’s about to get to the point of no return) – so I subtly picked up my purse and started rifling through it – looking for my magical pills. I could not find them. The search became manic (in my mind) as I was close to absolutely losing it in front of all these nice business folk… the term I like to use when I get this way is, “going ape shit.”

I knew I had to do something – I was hungry, I could feel it turning into a full-blown migraine – and my next stop was Quantitative Methods class for three and a half hours right after this first meeting.

My solution: Politely and diplomatically bring the meeting to a close, speed walk to the parking lot, jump in the car and then drive straight to McAllister’s to order a big ass potato.

No logic – except pure craving for a loaded potato with all the fixin’s a girl could dream of.

Substitute for Imitrex = 2 foot long Baked-Potato

Now – I’m not allowed to complain when my pants are tight.

BadAss diet (Paleo/no grains/no sugar/no cheating) starts tomorrow! I need accountability. Who’s with me?

P.S. and not to justify it — but my headache did subside – and I didn’t die of hunger during class…
