I made it through the car travels both ways without much trouble at all. Mild headache Thursday afternoon/evening but absolutely bearable. During the holiday weekend I tried to get fairly regular and ample sleep, and I was careful not to overindulge too much in either food or drink. I had some wine, including red wine, but kept it to a small glass and didn’t seem to suffer for it.
Yesterday, getting back to work was alright. This afternoon some of the tension is starting to creep back into my shoulders and neck, so I’m trying to be mindful of that and do what I can to ease it away. I’m going to make some tea to take with me while I wait for my daughter at ballet.
I think I drank too much coffee with too little breakfast yesterday - I found myself jittery during my second class. That rarely happens when I drink coffee, so I was more careful today to have more of a breakfast and less coffee. I hate eating breakfast so early in the morning, so it’s all I can do to make myself eat something most mornings. I’d much rather eat around 8:30 a.m. or so, but that isn’t really feasible at work. I try to keep my coffee to 1-2 large mugs each morning, with no caffeine after lunch. It doesn’t always work out that way, but I usually stick to it.
