detox report

Friday night I slept and slept and slept, ten or eleven hours, and I woke up Saturday without a headache. It was marvelous. Along about two in the afternoon I crashed hard on the couch, in a completely unscheduled nap of complete unconsciousness. Didn't turn off the lights, didn't turn off the TV, in fact I barely moved.

Saturday night I slept and slept and slept, about nine hours, and I woke up Sunday without a headache. Ditto. :-) A completely lazy day, and in the evening I dug out a box of Celestial Seasonings' peppermint tea that's been hanging around for ages, and I'm sure it was a CS teabag, on account of there was no string and no tag, but I am not convinced it was caffeine-free herbal tea in there, because see below. Do Celestial Seasonings make regular, you know, tea teas? Or, if not, who else has tag-free teabags? (Twinings, for one, but this was definitely something with peppermint in it and not Twinings Assam tea, which I have also moved to a further-distant shelf rather than let it take up valuable kitchen real estate.)

Sunday night I woke up at 2am and lay awake for close to three hours, and I wanted to cry. Worked from home on Monday, and I did get work done (as well as laundry) but thank god I could do it here is all I'm saying. I banished the suspect tea. Got some other caffeine-free teas and am confident as to their provenance. :-) And I've slept okay since then, so that's all right.

But every afternoon this week I've developed a killer headache at about 3pm. Urgh. Advil doesn't seem to kill it. In fact nothing does except eventually going to sleep. I'm hoping this will pass.

Today I had apple cinnamon herbal tea in my afternoon meeting, and it tasted like nothing for about 3/4 of the cup, but got a little fruity toward the end. Sigh.
