It's monday and I'm already fried...

Hey, at least tomorrow won't be Monday, right?

Try to carve out some time to do something fun for yourself. Read a book, watch a show, have a special dessert, something. Take care of you.

omg. Let me join the hate monday club. The beastly cat has learned a new trick. Getting up in the window and leaping, yes, leaping, up to the top of the window will and then clattering back down on the window sill with a horrific, blinds rattling bang. Not to mention almost knocking down the lamp by the window. I don't know if she's jumping at bugs, but mommy wasn't very nice last night. Nor this morning. I was a fucking zombie all day - the last time I saw the clock it was 3:45 and i got up at 7.

ok, now let me follow that post up with a wish for Fenika to have a better rest of the week, and that my own boss will be gone for the rest of the week.

So there. Everything's gonna be all right.

**pat pat**

I hear you! I was throwing up all morning yesterday with a violent 24 hour flu, but they desperately needed me at work today. So I went. Sandblasted aluminum parts, and deburred steel plates using an industrial grinder all day. Glad the day is almost over.

That sounds unpleasant after doing battle with a bug. Hope tomorrow is calmer for you.

I hope so too. I work in a machine shop, and it seems like every Monday, the programming on the machines goes wonky. The forklift turns into the devil himself. And every tool in the damp shop beams up onto the Enterprise where no one can find them.

The time change is kicking everybody's butt at my house. We couldn't sleep last night then I couldn't get anyone up this morning. It's 7:15 and I'm ready to go to bed.

That is hardcore, Brutal Mustang!

I should have joined this thread yesterday. At least I wouldn't have felt so alone. Started off by spraining my toe badly Sunday night, trying to change the time on the damn clock (there seems to be a theme here...). Monday started off by phoning collection agent to arrange a payment, then trying to shove my swollen toe into shoes so I could go to work. I could barely walk, but I was the only manager scheduled to work, so there was no question of calling in sick. Got to work, started pulling the stock order, and the employee who was to help me bring it down promptly sprained her finger. Yikes!

The good part of that was, after she left, we called in another staff member, and rather than call in a box office cashier, I called in a projectionist. Moved myself from projection (lots of walking, and up and down stairs) to box office (stand still, sit when no guests are there), and managed much better.

I get to 'work' today after the weekend off and right after lunch my knees flare up, my fibromyalgia goes off, I get a headache, bright lights hurt, etc. And I still had to run around and get stuff done.

I'm pissed b/c my body is so unreliable, it's only Monday, and I can't shove my head in a hole. Tomorrow should be less crazy, but I don't even know if I'll be hobbling around the whole day or just part of it.

What do you do when the week is starting to look reallllly long?

Blah.

Damiana. It's an herb that I've been trying to help me with my fibromyalgia and it's the real deal. It helps.

I get it in liquid form from the local health food store. You can get it in tea or straight bulk herb.

The herb is harder to get your hands on because all the high school kids are buying it to smoke as it's the legal high alternative to weed.

It's still Tuesday?

Okay, it's not that bad, but it's been a long and partially painful day. There's three more where that came from, and now I'm on call on Sunday.

But the sleep is good.

Tuesdays always feel this way with me. I hate Tuesdays.

(and any other comfort smilies out there)

Hang in there...

Look at the bright side. It's already Tuesday in Thailand.

It ain't Monday now.
