Mom's Words of Wisdom

I woke up at 3am Monday morning with a migraine, took some p.m. medication and went back to bed hoping that I would wake up on time 4 hours later. 

Thanks to my trusty alarm, I did wake up on time with the same migraine unfortunately. I thought about staying home, but realized I had some time-sensitive projects to complete. So I dragged myself into work for a few hours. I talked to my mom before I left and she said this: 

You'll have many jobs, but you only get one life.

So after completing those seemingly critical tasks, I went right back home, took another dose of the p.m. medication and slept most of the afternoon.

Lesson learned: I need to take better care of myself.
