I have a headache

Today was my Friday the 13th. It seems that everything that I touched fell apart, was a disaster, warranted a freak out session, a shut my office door time, etc. My head just can’t take this. It’s been so bad today I have a headache. (I realize this is another entry on my stress-level – sorry). I guess this is a sign that I need a vacation. . . Oh dear, I sound like my mother (not that that’s a bad thing – Hi mom).

Today I think my blood pressure actually went up – hence the headache. Over what exactly? Well, first it started with my computer homework. I dislike EXCEL! I just can’t seem to get the hang of this computer program – well, at least when I am reading how to do things with Excel. (I am in class right now and it’s a little better. Thanks Holly – she’s my computer neighbor). And then there’s work related stuff that I would dig venting about – but it’s confidential. And then Steve called me today at work to tell me he was on the way to the hospital with his mother as his father was in a car accident – and he knew nothing more than that! WHOA!!! So, I shut my door calmly and prayed HARD!

Now, don’t worry too much (but do pray) as my father in law is doing OK. While I type he’s still in the hospital with a broken collar bone, bruised up shoulder, and various other things. He was getting his chest scanned when I had to leave for class (not that I was at the hospital – I went home early from work and waited for news from Steve).

So, that’s that. Highs and lows – mostly lows today. My week hasn’t been all bad. I got to hang with friends, see Steve most evenings, and relax. Just today was difficult. It was a bad day. Not a real self-esteem booster or happy day. A blah day. You know what I mean.
