Trying

Today was a B-day at school, and try as I might to be positive about it I left with a raging headache and tears on deck. I am less needed in the classes I'm assigned to on these days (or perhaps just needed in a way I don't like as well) so they seem long and trying to me. I really resent the headache because it stays with me long after school is over and sometimes all night. I went to bed around 8:00 twice last week because of headaches, which is a major bummer considering how limited my time at home is these days.

There I vented...I must retreat to the cozy.

Comment Window Tidbit: I had an itchy eye for a day last week and actually hoped I was getting pink eye because then I'd have to stay home! That's just wrong.

Sometimes you just need to vent. And I completely understand about feeling possessive about time at home. Adjusting to a job is hard. Here's to a quickly leaving headache.

I hate it when days inch by slowly. I'm sorry.

Oh dear. I hope you can figure out how to avoid the headaches, because it is just plain wrong to have your precious at-home time cut short! Plus, headaches are just miserable.

I hate to think of you struggling and leaving in pain and in tears. Oh the humanity.

oh, I hope you soon find ways that your B days can be rewarding. It is hard enough. Hope the cozy takes care of the headache!

I hope your retreat to the cozy does you a world of good! My headaches have been so so. but not as bad as usual. I hope you feel better soon!

All this gets a B? Sounds like a D. Headaches are the pits and I have had more than a fair share since returning to work 2 weeks ago.

SOmetimes I still get a little excited at the thought of getting sick for that very reason until I realize that my life goes on the same whether I'm sick or not. It's just harder to take care of everyone else.
I hate that you have such chronic headaches. Have you looked into disability?

I hope retreating into the cozy helped! It is always a bummer to feel lousy at the end of the day...

Sending happy thoughts and hugs your way!

brooke said...

That is wrong. You need to use your sick days for fun stuff like Creative Friday. Don't tell anyone I said that! Hope you are feeling better.

It sounds like adjustment to a work schedule is in full swing, Jill. (Wishing upon wishing that everyday is a school closure day.) It's the pits. Don't you agree?

I feel bad you have chronic headaches. I can think of nothing worse.

This makes me sad to think about, headaches are so miserable. I remember my mom having to stay in bed and we had to be soo very quiet, no tv, just reading in our rooms until bed because the slightest noise would kill her head.

I hope the headaches subside and the days get a little easier for you. Maybe Randy could give you a blessing? Good luck.

I'm sorry you had a difficult day! Hope today is better!!

Ashley said...

Oh, I'm so sorry! At least that means today is an A day, right? I really hope the headaches don't continue to plague you. You are putting in a long day's work--you at least should be able to enjoy your nights!

becca said...

Oh, headaches!! HOw I HATE them! There is just nothing worse than having a horrible headache. I hope a couple of hours in the cozy cured it so that you could enjoy your evening. :(

Have you tried a heating pad on the back of your neck, with an ice pack on your forehead? I know it sounds silly, but it helps me sometimes.
