This week felt calmer than last. I have no idea why. Some days I was slightly ahead in planning, others I was just ready as I walked into class. It was a total mixture of things that I just can't explain. For some reason it all seemed to work out well though.
I had my first "lost stuff" scare. I walked into school this morning and had no idea where I left a whole folder worth of graded quizzes and homework. I was almost positive that I hadn't taken it out to work on at the other school, but that is always a possibility, and it wasn't in any of the rooms at that school which meant it had to be at home. It was a terrifying feeling because I couldn't visualize where I had left it. Luckily when I got home this afternoon it was sitting by my desk. I have no idea why it was where it was, but I'm glad I found it all.
The horrible pain came Tuesday. Talk about a weather change! I got home from school on Monday around 5:30 and didn't feel great, just a worse than normal headache, and eating dinner didn't really help, so I crawled into bed at 8 pm. While going to bed extremely early was nice, it was also weird. I guess my body wanted the sleep though. I woke up at 10, rolled over and fell right back to sleep, until I woke up a few minutes after 2 am in the most pain I've been in since the 2 week migraine I had a few months ago. I'm telling you it woke me out of a dead sleep. I went to the bathroom and just turning the light on was enough to make me curl up and feel sick. I immediately took all of my migraine medicines and crawled back into bed. The soft sounds from the air conditioner outside my window sounded like they were blaring, so I put ear plugs in. I haven't been this sensitive to light and sound in years! I mean usually I can function through things, but man am I lucky this happened in the middle of the night! I got a little bit more sleep, just kind of tossed and turned until my alarm went off at 5:30. At that point I wasn't quite as sensitive to light or sound and could function better. I headed into school and somehow made it through the day. I honestly have no idea how I got through the day. I wanted to curl up in a ball and sleep. I would say cry but that makes it worse! To make matters worse I wasn't planned for the next day so I needed to stay and grade and work on plans. I got everything done and made it home by 7:30ish. Boy it was a long, hard day. I would never wish that experience on anyone! To anyone with frequent migraines, I really do feel for you. These experiences remind me how lucky I am to have my daily headaches under some sort of control, even if they are still there, at least I can function.
Today was my first taste of "vacation excitement!" I haven't been so excited to go away in a long time! I felt like a small child counting down the seconds until school was over. Don't get me wrong, little trips to see my parents are great, but I'm spending the whole weekend at the beach with some great girls from work! I feel so lucky to have gotten to know them and joined their group. They are a lot of fun, and we are just planning to hang out and enjoy the long weekend.
All in all it has been a busy week, as always, but a decent one. The weekend should be great! Next week will be busy again even though it is only 4 days, but a friend from home is coming to visit so that will make for another exciting weekend to look forward to!
