// I’m going to get bloodwork done this morning.//

I have a really bad needle phobia and had trouble sleeping last night because I was worked up about it.

So whenever they’re like “Ready?” I just want to say:

Bloodwork is the worst for me because my veins suck as well. Time for some self hypnosis and deep breathing.

It also doesn’t help that my neck hurts and I woke up with a semi-headache.

Ugh. Let’s get this over with.

// I have not had much luck with my head the past few days.//

I started to get a headache at work on Sunday night and by the time I got home, it was a pretty killer one.

And I wasn’t able to sleep, which didn’t help at all.

So I stayed up and took a Relpax, and not even that helped me fall asleep.

I had no intention of going to my classes on Monday, except that the e-mail response I got from my first professor made it seem like if I wasn’t in class, my group was gonna get screwed over (we’re doing our end of semester presentations and my group is scheduled to go NEXT week, but we’re all critiquing the other presentations), so I showed up. In warm clothes with sunglasses on. There was an empty chair next to me and my professor sat down in it to watch the presentations, put her hand on my shoulder and said,

“Oh sweetie! You didn’t have to come to class! You’re sick, I’m sorry if you misunderstood me, but you don’t have to be here!”

I just looked at her like:

And was like “It’s no problem. As long as you don’t mind me having my sunglasses on, I can stay.”

So I stayed and critiqued two of the presentations.

My group was going to meet to go over our powerpoint and put our paper together but the other two girls were like “Will you PLEASE go home? We can meet on Thursday.”

So I went home.

And I checked my e-mail where I had a message from my Psych professor in response to saying I had a migraine and wouldn’t be in class saying:

“…The final test is tonight. Will you be in class?”

And I was like:

because I thought that the test was next week. So I was like “I’ll be there”.

Then I crammed for an hour and went to class. Thankfully the test was only 25 questions long and had a bonus question that I knew the answer to. Then I came home and was asleep by 10. (Psych was a 4:30 class).

Today, I slept a whole bunch more because it was storming out and that was pretty much the root of my headache problem. Between that, my erratic sleep schedule as of late, and lots of stress, I’ve been a mess.

Anyway, I went to work today where I had a ridiculous day (both good and bad) even though I still had a headache and am now waiting for my meds to kick in so I can finally sleep in peace. I’ve gotten to the point where I took a Percocet to hopefully break the migraine.

Thankfully, my 9:30AM dance class was cancelled for tomorrow morning, so the only thing I have to worry about is work at 4. I’ll probably have to watch my niece & nephew at around 2 when my mom has to go to the doctor’s, but that (hopefully) won’t be a problem.

I also got an e-mail that informed me that the test I had no idea was going on has already been graded and I somehow pulled a 112 with an hour of studying and a migraine

As for now, I’m going to read a bit more and then go to sleep. Reading relaxes me and I can somehow read with a headache.

// Starting to feel better…//

as in I’m actually eating something this morning. I’ve been sitting in bed watching Doctor Who and eating a bowl of granola.

I’m feeling better this morning. Not well enough to go to my dance class, but well enough to sit up and eat something, which I haven’t been able to do in awhile. I mean, I was eating on the days that I haven’t felt well, but not much, and not until much later in the day.

I have to go to work at 4PM, so hopefully I’ll feel even better by then…

It’s the week before I’ll be getting my monthly friend, and that ALWAYS means feeling not that great. It’s just been awhile since I’ve felt this out of it. I usually get menstrual migraines, but they usually only last for a day, so this has all been out of the ordinary for me.

I’m sure that the weather hasn’t helped. The temperature has been all over the place, and it’s finally gotten cold again, with a chance of snow showers no less.

Hopefully I’m feeling much better tomorrow and will be able to get through work tonight without incident. We’re usually not busy on a Wednesday night, and it’s only a 6 hour shift, so it shouldn’t be too bad.

Also, I need to get my room cleaned this weekend so I can move back in there, so I need to start feeling better in all honesty hah.
