It’s Monday, and I hate Mondays. I don’t think I’m alone in that, but it feels especially true for me today. Mondays always seem to hit harder when the schedule is stacked from start to finish, and this one is shaping up to be particularly exhausting. I’ve got classes to teach all morning and paperwork waiting for me all afternoon, which doesn’t leave much room to catch my breath.
To top it off, I woke up queasy, and the migraine that’s been dogging me for nearly a week is still hanging on. This kind of lingering migraine always seems to show up when I’m a week or two out from my next round of Botox injections. Sure enough, my next appointment is on Wednesday, and I’m counting down the days until I get some relief. Until then, it’s a matter of managing the pain as best I can and pushing through.
So yes, I’m not exactly starting this week at my best, but here we are—it’s Monday, whether I like it or not. Hopefully once I get through the busyness of today, the rest of the week will feel a little lighter.
I hope everyone else had a good weekend and that you’re off to a much better start to the week than I am. Here’s to surviving Monday together.
Solo puedo pensar en cómo aguantas el dolor mientras tienes que trabajar y atender al resto del personal. Te admiro y también te compadezco.
ReplyDeleteTe deseo un feliz martes sin dolores y con una bonita sonrisa.

ReplyDeleteAmen to that, Joe.
Is there a set period for Botox injections? Could you get a small dose these last two weeks? Keep some bees in the house just for that.
ReplyDeleteIt has to be three months, or my insurance won’t pay for it. Three months is the recommended amount of time, some people do it every six weeks, but the thing about Botox for migraines is that once your body fully adapts to the toxins, it quit working. That happened to me before, and I had to take a break for a while before we could restart. Also, each time you get these shot, the get more painful because the areas become more sensitive after it wears off. It’s worth it though when the person giving the Botox is very good at it.
