I shouldn't have lied to her, but I don't want her worrying. One of us doing that's enough. She has plenty on her plate without thinking about how I feel. The truth is my head has continued to pound and has become a blinding migraine. I've never had a migraine before but based on what I just read on the Internet, I have to assume this is one. Sensitivity to light is an understatement; it's more like piercing daggers in my eyes over and over. If I throw up one more time, I may find my stomach in the toilet, but I refuse to bail on my clients. I won't allow Piper to carry any more of the financial load than she already does. If I'm not working with people, then I'm not earning any money. If I have idle time here, there's no paycheck. I'm on staff, so I get a free membership as does Piper.
