Lesson Learned AGAIN

I woke up today with the beginnings of a migraine headache, so I took two Excedrin Migraine tablets.  Well, I knew as soon as I swallowed them that it was a bad idea.  Excedrin Migraine has caffeine in it and caffeine on an empty stomach does not work for me.  Let me rephrase that, it works if I want to feel nauseous.  Yesterday I started cleaning the house, but I tried to pay a fair amount of attention to Katie, which resulted in not getting all of the cleaning done.  (The more time I spend with her the more behaved she is.)  Anyway, I took the tablets and proceeded to finish vacuuming despite the rolling stomach.  I bent down at one point to pick something off of the floor and when I was standing up straight I became incredibly dizzy.  So much so that I had to lean against the wall to prevent myself from falling over.  I stood there for a long time because I was afraid to move, my legs felt rubbery, and I didn't want to pass out and leave Katie by herself.  (If Rick is reading this I know he is now very worried.)  Without a doubt a few things have contributed to the dizzy-almost-fainted episode.  First is the ingestion of Excedrin Migraine on an empty stomach.  Second, I have very low blood pressure especially so in the morning so quickly bending over then straightening up was not a good idea.  Third (and this is the part Rick is going to lecture me about) I didn't eat well yesterday.  I didn't have a regular sit down meal, but snacked on animal crackers and drank juice all day.  Matter of fact, the low food intake may also be why I woke up with a headache.  So lesson learned.  Scratch that, lesson learned AGAIN.  I need to go a make myself something to eat or will feel like this for the rest of the day and I have too much to get done.  Ciao!
