I’m back to feeling vaguely headachy and queasy, much like I did Wednesday.
Theories:
1. I haven’t had any coffee yet. (that was this morning)
2. I’ve had too much coffee. (possible, but then see no. 1)
3. I’m still suffering from post-Saturday-night-syndrome. (possible, but I actually feel worse now than I did yesterday, which is hardly sensible)
4. It’s too warm in the office. (it is, but is that the only reason?)
5. I’ve been staring at the screen for too long. (I have, but I hadn’t when I came in this morning, had I?)
6. It’s Monday. (this is, at least, verifiably true)
7. I need to remember my iron tablets, or maybe I need to start taking mulit-vitamins.
8. I need more sleep. (but I slept 7 hours last night, and 7ish the night before, and plenty the night before that)
9. I haven’t had any alchohol since the early hours of Sunday morning. (this had better not be the reason or I’m in serious trouble)
10. I didn’t actually sleep last night, I was kidnapped by aliens who did unspeakable experiments on me and then modified my memory to make me think I’d slept.
11. I need a hug. (it might not help the nausea much, but it might make me feel better)
12. I’m subconsciously stressed out about something. (what, though? I can’t think of a single reason why my subconscious self should need to be stressed at the moment – not more than usual, anyway)
13. I’m pregnant. (that’ll be the ailiens again, then)
14. I’m coming down with the flu. (oh please not that)
15. I’m dehydrated. (don’t know why I would be, but I shall go have a drink of water to see if that helps)
18:49 – Update
Left work and had a wander down Karl Johan, when I got to Jernbanetorget, Linda phoned and asked whether I’d like to come and eat with her at Woodstock. So I did. Felt fine while eating and pretty much until I got on the bus to come home when the nausea returned – and now the headachy thing is back with a vengance. (It’s not actually a headache, it feels like a tight band around my forehead, I keep wanting to push it aside, but of course it’s not actually tangible. I think the aliens must have put some sort of invisible and intangible monitoring device on my head. That’ll be it.)
Luckily my calendar was empty today – despite misgivings last week it seems I’ve managed to wrangle some free evenings (another one on Wednesday – yay! – unless I go off to my grandparents’ that evening, but I don’t think I will). So I’m going to snuggle up on the couch and feel sorry for myself, just so you know.
