Can the Adults Please Smoke? Chapter 34: Good Times Galore! — Page 175

Sending you prayers and strength, YWIW!

Holy migraine, batman.
So much for my day off, and having a list of things to do. After a slow start to the morning, I spent the rest of the day curled up in the dark.
I don't get them often (a few years ago I had a terrible bout with them, but they've been in control recently), but when I do, they're brutal. I think it's because it was the first day I 'stopped' since... well, since the beginning of the year, really. But certainly since the beginning of August. And *BAM!* it packed a punch.

Am in the office today but taking it easy. Still feel like if I move my head too quickly the world gets fuzzy.

*sigh*

Good thing I don't have to take a test and fill in little circles! (I join those of you who are glad those days are over!)

So sorry about the head banger, Addy. After doing absolutely nothing yesterday morning, I decided to do some painting in the basement in the afternoon. While I can't smell the fumes, I can feel them. I was curled up in a ball in a dark place by about 4 in the afternoon. Feel better!

That's always been my pattern - AFTER a period of stress, when I can stop and drop is when I get nailed...

And, Somms, I'm with you on the paint fumes. I am super-sensitive to scents and fumes, and paint is a killer. Hope you're feeling better.


So, I work a block from the park where Occupy Wall Street is camping out. Between the crowds of tourists who come to lower Manhattan to see the 9/11 Memorial (and other historical sites of interest) and the ever-growing crowd of Occupants... it's quite the trick to get to work in the morning, and to get around once I'm down here! I'll be curious to see how many people stick around when the weather starts to turn.

So sorry to hear that, Addy! I guess the silver lining would be that the migraine hit ion a "day off" not in the middle of a client presentation, but still....that bites! Hubby had a migraine on Sunday and felt all washed out yesterday. Be gentle with yourself!

What is this "compliance leave" you speak of?

I am going to try to take a couple of days off when the new furniture arrives.

Off to Cedar Rapids, Iowa in early November. Fun fun fun!

Ok, that is one of the weirdest things I've ever heard. Is that in addition to your annual leave time?

Moony, that is part of our annual leave. If you only have 2 weeks vacation then you're exempt from this compliance requirement. Most people have 3 weeks though and so they're forced to abide by this law.

And do they really go throgh your stuff durimg that two week period? I would tell them to go ahead and answer all my emails as long as they're accessing my account!

but, the bhatroom is pretty!

and, it doesn't go through your wallet and take what it wants.

Tonight I have a wake to attend. They're always sad, but this friend was the same age as me. We hung out in H.S. She went in for back surgery in June and then they discovered she had bone cancer. She leaves behind 2 children. Boy (turned 13 the day she passed) and 8 yr old. daughter. It still hasn't hit me that's she's gone. I can still hear her hearty laugh.
