What made you sad today?

I heard that a good friend of mine passed away yesterday. He was a member of The Spinners folk group and like an uncle to me. I grew up seeing him often, he was a lovely man. Very sad news.

I'll start by mentioning that I've had a migraine since Saturday night, it seems to be verying in degrees of pain but it's still there. So. Woke up this morning at 9:30am and found it really difficult to get up because of the pain. Managed it eventually (10:35) and took some paracetomol. Waited for them to kick in before I did anything. They didn't do much so I threw my hair back and left early, stopping off at the chemist to get some proper migraine tablets.

I arrive at work at 11:45am. 15 minutes before the start of my shift. I find a desk and begin signing onto the computer when a team mate comes up to me. "Weren't you supposed to be on that training today?"

The training started at 9am. I went over to the managers desk and (looking very sheepish) told her I'd forgotton and that I'd been suffering a migraine all weekend. I know it's not an excuse. Apparently my file hasn't been updated with my mum's home phone number so they couldn't call me. Oops that's my fault too.

So I come down to the training room and peek through the door. "Please don't hate me!" They decide that I haven't missed too much and let me join in late. I'm sweating like a preverbial pig because I ran down 3 flights of stairs to the basement where the training rooms are. So I take of my jacket and sit down.
"You do know you've got your top on inside out?" Turns out I have. My little spagetti strap vest top has the care label out. At that point I think I almost died.

Now of course it's their lunchtime. So I've been back upstairs and spoken to the managers. I'll go onto the phones after the training finishes at five to make up for the 3 hours work I missed. Now I'm sitting in the training room all by myself looking over what they did this morning. I had a whisper in my ear before they went to lunch telling me thay've done bugger all this morning. Oh good. Now I'm just pretending to look busy and eating a yogurt for my breakfast.

So now people think I'm ditzy. I don't want people to think I'm ditzy! . What happened to me? I used to be the one people relied on! People described me as 'sensible', 'professional', 'intelligent' and most probably 'organised' (I made myself look organised but I never am). What happened to me?

p.s Sorry for the long post.

My Untrained Advice:

- If you havent already done so See A Doctor for a health check. No Excuses

- Get your contacts updated with HR

- Try and spend sometime relaxing. Have a few early nights

- Put the recent events down to "One of those weeks!" and try and laugh about it


Remember that the universe isnt out to get you, its out to get everybody

Hope this helps

I have an appointment with the doctor on Wednesday anyway so I'll mention it to them then. I have been feeling very 'off' lately. It could be a problem with my Iron levels or my thyroid gland. I've had issues with both in the past.

I don't think the universe is 'out to get me' it was all my own fault. I'll laugh about it in a few days. Right now I'm very moody.

Hope you get it all sorted out, and your headache is a bit better today.

Awww that's so nice! Thank you so much.

Got up early and went to the GP (I walked there for some extra exercise) and told the nurse that I've been feeling a bit 'off' and that I'm forgetting things. She suggested that I wait a week or two to see if it passes, if not then see a doctor. She mentioned that it might just be stress.

Stress?!?! Her saying that made me stressed. I felt like she wasn't listening to me. I'm not stressed! What could possible be stressing me out? If I was any more laid back I'd be horizontal.

So I took a walk and ended up buying some multivitimins with iron. I've had issues with my iron levels before and my mum has recently been diagnosed with low iron levels and we both are eating the same foods. So maybe that's the problem. They will either help or act as a placebo and make me feel better anyway. I was home by 11am. Now I'm bored
