After two weeks of not working, I returned to work yesterday – though it was for only half a day. I prayed that I would be able to get through the day. My cough had died down. Still, I had to change my pants before I had even left the house.
I left the house early to stop by a thrift store as there is a game I would like to get for Jenna – a specific game that I still have not seen and may have to order online. While there, I looked at dresses and found a light jumper that I thought I could wear.
I had planned on putting keys in my pocket and hooking the walkie-talkie through one of the belt loops but while at the thrift store, I realized that the pants I had changed into did not have pockets. Frustrating. I returned home for a lanyard in which I could hang the keys and the walkie-talkie. Only by the time I returned home, I decided it was warm enough that I could change into my brand new dress (which I hadn’t realized was on discount and spent only 2.25) and so had changed for a third time.
Once again I prayed that I would make it for the next three hours without prior problems that I’ve experienced for over a week. I’m happy to say that I was able to make it through the rest of the day without much inconvenience. I was needed to help with lunch, but think I could have returned home right after recess as I really did not feel useful for the most part. I do prefer mornings to afternoons.
I was supposed to meet up with some friends at 4:00 but my mind got loopy and I know I wouldn’t have been pleasant company. As I think about it, it was a good idea not to have put myself on the road in my condition. I am bummed that I didn’t get to see my friends. But I did end up spending just a bit of quality time with Roland - whose mind has seemed elsewhere lately also.
Tried a new sleep routine. I have failed miserably. I just haven’t been able to get comfortable. In addition to my soar rear and legs, I also have a major headache – well, major for me. It may be minimal for those who experience headaches more routinely than I. I suppose I’ll be napping later on today. I really am sleepy. I hope this crazy weather didn't push me back to where I started. Dang it all!
