Down For a Day

Yesterday was a day, I tell you!! I woke at 2 a.m. with a migraine. No problem, I thought--I'll just take some of the medication the neurologist gave me, try to sleep a little more and then head off to work.

So, off to work I go!! I was there 2 1/2 hours when I was sent home. This was definitely a no-brainer on my part--I should have just stayed home in bed. But then again, we are understaffed, one person working with a back injury and another person still in training!! I thought I should surely be there!!

But, in reality, I belonged home in bed. I came home, thinking I'll have some peace and quiet, rest and my headache will go away--just like it always does.

Unfortunately, the apartment complex behind mine was doing some sort of repairs that required jackhammers!! As if I didn't already have enough jackhammers right in my own head!!

That ferocious noise finally stopped. Ah, relief!! But, no, then the grass was being cut right outside my bedroom window. Thankfully, that went rather quickly, and I was able to get some rest.

I awoke later in the day with a very dry throat. Out to the kitchen to get a glass of water, and there I stepped on a piece of glass!! Someone (not mentioning any names here!) had dropped a glass, broken it, and thought they had cleaned up all the glass.

Obviously, this wasn't the case, because my toe found the one piece of glass that was missed! Blood dripping from my toe, I limped off to the bathroom to clean this up. But, it wouldn't stop bleeding!! So, I wrapped it very tightly with a pressure bandage and back to bed.

At least, this pain took my focus off the pain in my head for a little while!!

Finally, sweet sleep--from around 3:30 p.m. until now!! My toe is still seeping blood occasionally, and as I look at it this morning, this cut really should have required some stitching!!

Well, I'm off to work again today--hopefully, a better day than yesterday!! No progress on the baby blanket obviously!! This is going to go to work with me today to work on a little during lunch.

K--that's all for a while!!
