Blown Head Gasket question

My car recently began running hot easily (and running a little rough when I first start the engine). My question is this: If I have a blown head gasket, is it OK to continue driving short distances for a couple of weeks before I get it fixed---as long as the car is not running very rough and I limit my driving to short distances (not allowing the temperature gauge to reach all the way to the red zone)? (I have a 1995 Honda Civic LX automatic transmission)
