I have a hard time taking a sick day

 I almost always have a terrible migraine when I call out.  I had a moderate headache when I got up at 7 but the Excedrin is doing a good job.  I keep running to the bathroom, I'm not over this yet.  Happily I did not have a vomiting food illness although it was pretty close a few times last night.  

I feel like I should be up, cleaning the house.  I have a hard time just resting.  Good news, I did just buy 4 quarts of chicken broth.  I have veggie soup in the fridge but I'm going to go on my old rule of not eating until I am actively hungry.  

I did have a a banana when I took the Excedrin as I wanted something coating my stomach.  I have plenty more bananas, oatmeal, pasta.  My stomach is fine but my gut is not.  

I think I'll get some probiotics when I get paid.  

My one (the "good cop") Team Lead tried to call during my nap but I had it on silent.  The lady who brought the food also called.  With her I'm going to either blame the people on the bus getting me sick with a norovirus or "bad leftovers" (they are fine).  

I am battling a moderate headache.
