Usually I really enjoy my job. It is NEVER the same day twice even though many of the elements of my days are the same. Usually I laugh (to myself of course) at the extreme junior-highness of it all, the drama, the nerdiness, the locker jams and so on. But today, despite having a relaxing yet productive weekend at home with plenty of sleep I just was NOT in the mood for junior high. I didn't feel sympathetic, tolerant or even very nice but I did my best to mask those feelings and somehow made it through the day. Of course, I had a screaming migraine after that and even though I took a Relpax at 1:30, got home and into the cozy by 2:45, I wasn't okay to surface until 5:30pm! It's robbery I tell you! I seem to be having a resurgence of headaches lately and I am not happy about it. I am rereading my headache book in an attempt to eliminate any triggers that may be stirring things up. Aargh! Hopefully tomorrow's junior-high dramas will find me at full strength.
**How was your day?
How often do you get headaches?
What are your triggers?**
Comment Window Tidbit: I'm having some motivation issues tonight with a little side of guilt since I know I should be doing stuff today that will make my tomorrow easier.

Rotten to be suffering with headaches again. I don't even work in a jr. high, but it seems that lately I am seeing a lot of jr. high drama in my office. I need to remember to cry out (on the inside): Oh the Humanity!
oh no! That is definitely uncool. I don't get headaches too frequently, but I have noticed lately that I get them on days when I don't drink Diet Coke. That can't be good.
I hope you figure something out and that you get your groove back tomorrow.
I have been having more migraines than usual. I am not sure what to do. I have taken to drinking pepsi or coke again. It seems to help take the edge off. What books are your reading that help? I have thought about seeing my Dr. to get something stronger than over the counter medication.
Oh ouch. Headaches AND junior high drama in the same day? I wouldn't have come out of the cozy at all. That's the truth.
I was just going to say that maybe its what you are eating or not eating? But I see your tidbit about the peanuts/peanut butter. Do you like egg salad sandwiches or ham & cheese? Maybe the protein will help...just not the peanut butter protein.
I've started this volunteer mentoring program at a local junior high through my office. I'm soooo glad I didn't go into teaching now. Yikes. The wave of fresh panic that hit me as soon as I walked in was unreal.
