It is a
beautiful day to be off of work. We have today off. I don’t know exactly why.
It is Veteran’s Day, but I don’t think that’s why we have it off. I heard it
has more to do with the Florida school calendar and this being the end of their
quarter (our corporation is based in Florida). I don’t really care why, I’m
just happy to have the day off. I can’t wait until those glorious two weeks of
Christmas vacation. The neighboring school district had two weeks off for fall
break. We had two days. I was inputting all the days off in my calendar and
noticed that in the spring semester there is a LONG stretch of time where there
are no days off at all. I’m trying not to think about that and trying to focus
on the positive. Today I have a day off. Today is a good day.
Thinking back
and remembering what has been the most relaxing day of the school year thus far
was actually the day after I left school in an ambulance. I knew that I had to
take it very, very easy, so I stayed in bed all day and read an entire book. It
made a world of difference reading a book versus being on the computer. Much
more relaxing, the book.
Speaking of
the ambulance; I am still waiting to see the neurologist. I saw my primary care
physician who referred me to that specialist. The PCP thinks it could be spinal
fluid leaking putting pressure in my skull. The neurologist will order an MRI
and that will be able to tell. In the meantime, I have some strong headache
medicine which is controlling the pain, if I take it by a certain time of day.
It has some side effects that aren’t so pleasant, but I’m just trying to grin
and bear it until I get in to see neurology. I am just thankful the pain is
gone.
Seeing the
positive, that’s what I’m trying to do!
