Hell Head

Hi, Amanda.

Ugh.

I'm in the middle (maybe the end? fingers crossed) of another string of headaches and migraines. I guess the first was Wednesday night and held on all day Thursday, so much that I left school Thursday with lesson plans on my desk for Friday--just in case. Well, I made it in and felt better, but by Friday night it was back and Saturday night I took migraine meds before bed, ibuprofen and lots of water having not been any help. Yesterday I felt better, but this morning, when I woke up at 5:15, I was strobing. Being at a loss for what I would call or email in for lesson plans, I got myself out of bed and made it through the day. And again, instead of spending time correcting, I spent every free minute planning lessons for a sub--just in case. Again.

At this point, I have been hiding in dim light for 5 hours and I'm still off. I should probably just do myself a favor and email in for a sub before I go to bed, that way I can sleep until I feel better. And if I wake up feeling great then I can take the time to do some of the correcting I've been unable to do while I've been suffering headaches, and do it uninterrupted.

I guess I'll sign off and give myself a few more minutes to think about it, even though it'll make my head hurt more. How I hate the guilt and the second guessing....

Glad you had a good weekend and hope your week is off to a good start.

Love,
Barb
