A Pounding Head and Peculiar Dreams

I woke up this morning with a migraine, and if I didn’t have a class to teach this morning, I’d probably call in sick. It was hard enough getting out of bed as it was. I didn’t sleep particularly well last night. I had a very active night of dreaming, some of which was quite nice, while other dreams were just plain weird and left me wondering why in the world I’d dreamed about such things. I woke up several times throughout the night, and a few times I had trouble falling back to sleep. Unfortunately, every time I woke up, regardless of the reason, my head was pounding.

Of course, I had absolutely no trouble going back to bed after getting up to feed Isabella this morning, nor did I have any difficulty hitting the snooze button when my alarm went off. I would have been perfectly happy to stay in bed for a few more hours, preferably without the migraine.

I’m hoping my head will get better as the morning goes on. If it doesn’t, I plan to teach my class, return the objects I’m using to storage, and head home. Some days, you just have to do what absolutely needs to be done and leave the rest for another day. Today is shaping up to be one of those days.
