So today was a busy day. Normally I don't work on Mondays (well, you know, the kind of work that PAYS). But, one of my clients had some things to take care of, so I went in today instead of tomorrow.
I worked until 1:10 or so, then I needed to make it home to grab the kiddos from the sitters' across the street. After grabbing a samich at home, I went over, and rushed the kids out the door to get Bella off to the doctor. She had a follow up appointment for an ear infection. I knew the appointment was today because you know, it is on holiday Monday at 1:40. As I get there and I am signing in, admittedly, 4 minutes late, I get half-way through her last name and realize that today is not the 18th, but rather the 11th. There are 2 holiday Mondays this month.
Yes, that's it, I wasn't 4 minutes late, I was 10076 minutes EARLY since her appointment is NEXT MONDAY!
See what happens when you make me work?

Headaches... again...
OK, so I am really tired of headaches. I get them every month, and have been for about 5 years now. The reason I started seeing a chiropractor in Anchorage was because I wanted to have Emilee, but couldn't do the meds for migraines.
Anywho, I have been doing a little bit of reading on headaches. I have been taking Tylenol, but finally threw it all out because it didn't do enough for me. I have ibuprofen now, and that helps a pinch more. Typically, once they start, they are here or 2-3 days. Sleeping can help but only because I am asleep, not because they go away when I wake up. I did buy some Excedrin Migraine recently.
WHO-BOY! So, I thought I escaped the headaches this month, but I was mistaken. On Tues morning, when Joe was up at the crack of dawn, he asked how I felt. At that time I felt fine. An hour later when it was time for me to get up, I DID have a headache. I followed the directions, took Excedrin, and started the day. What would otherwise have been a doozy of a headache, didn't materialize at all. Joe asked again at lunchtime how I was, and I told him my head was fine. My heart, on the other hand, was alive and well. I asked what my heartrate SHOULD be, because it was beating fast. I had to make sure I was eating so that I didn't feel lightheaded from the meds. All in all, it wasn't a bad episode this time, and I kept myself busy enough with a racing heart that I got alot done! I am going to continue watching the headaches and seeing what I need to do to keep everything at bay.
One day at a time.
