I'm a beeeeeeeeg dork!
We went to a wedding on Saturday night (Congrats, Chris and Jodi!). The wedding was okay. We got there *just* in time. We literally walked in 5 minutes before the bride walked down the aisle. Our friend Dave did most of the food and did a FABULOUS job (he did the chicken and all the sides, salad, bread, etc.). And so prepared, too - thank goodness he thought ahead, because the bride had another friend who was supposed to do a beef dish, but he didn't actually get there until after everyone had finished eating, so only a few people had beef. I had a good time, but it resulted in almost having to go to the ER Sunday morning...

Over the course of the night, I drank a lot, I inhaled a ton of cigarette smoke and mineral fog from the DJs fog machine (he went waaaaaaaay overboard), and was also quite the dancin' fool. All of this after an hour-long walk earlier in the afternoon. My lungs got more of a workout on Saturday than they'd gotten in quite some time, and boy did I feel it.

We got home around 1:30 AM, and I woke up 3 times between then and 6:00 (for water and because it hurt to breathe due to all the crap and lung exercise), to the point where I went and slept on the couch in the computer room so I wouldn't wake Bryan up. I got up around 7 and called the ER to see if I should go in, that's how much pain I was in. My entire upper body just ACHED. They basically said "well, not being able to breathe is considered an emergency," and suggested that I come in. But it wasn't that I couldn't breathe, it just hurt to take anything more than a shallow breath because the muscles around my lungs were so worn out, so I decided not to go. I had had a raging headache since before we left the wedding. Bryan made me take some Naproxen after yelling at me for not taking anything while being in so much pain. I fell asleep and slept like the dead until 2:00 in the afternoon Sunday.

Mental note to self: don't smoke a lot and dance a lot after getting exercise the same day after not having exercised in months. The body's just not used to it.
