Work in the morning, unbelievably sick now.

As I’m writing this it’s 11:30pm and I have work at 6am. I’ve been in agony with nausea for days and it’s only gotten worse despite me eating plainer. I can’t even recline slightly to try and sleep.

I don’t feel like I can call off work because they already didn’t schedule enough people and losing another person in the morning would be detrimental— and they prefer that they have a four hour notice for sick call-ins. But I just want to sleep. I just want relief.

I tried talking to some friends who are still up as a distraction, and I mentioned how terrible I was feeling (I don’t bother them with this often at all) and they said I should take melatonin. Well. I would if I had it, and if I could stomach it.
