This is how I feel right now. No, I haven't gone out drinking (I haven't drank alcohol for years now). I just made the mistake of thinking I was well enough to go to a ceramic festival two cities away. I was fine for about a couple of hours until I got dizzy and nauseous.
I don't know what happened. Whether taking it was the week's worth of taking strong painkillers, or the fact that I drank several cups of coffee (it was the only hot beverage I can find in the place - I can't drink cold or tepid water, it hurts my sensitive jaw due to an infected sinus cavity) in a span of a couple of hours. As soon as we came home, my head was reeling and so was my tummy. It wasn't long when I started paying homage to the porcelain god in the bathroom.
But I really feel like crap, like that cat above. And I also feel like this...

After having caffeinated java after several years of decaf coffee and no caffeinated colas, drinking several cups of REAL coffee has left me wide-awake and exhausted. I hate being sick.
