Starting Saturday, my neck began to ache. Not really my neck I guess, but that fleshy area between your neck and shoulder. Trapezius. That's it. So finally Monday morning I decided to call a chiropractor. I saw him that afternoon and the relief from the visit lasted until bedtime. I awoke this morning still with a stiff neck and shoulder. AND a stuffy nose, watery eyes, plus, just feeling very tired on top of it all.
It figures, you know. I'm making headway with work and was gearing up mentally for the stuff I'd like to do around the house after my work obligations were met AND BAM! SICK! Yay.
Tomorrow is going to be hectic for me. I have to drop Monkey off at 8:45, have a chiro appointment at 9:10, have a meeting at work at 10:00, have a vet appointment for my hyperthyroid cat at noon, have to pick Monkey BACK up at 1:45 so we can make his 2:15 appointment for his 9 months shots which are already late because I didn't make the appointment until a week before he should have had them. So when DH asked if I made a doctor appointment, I got a little flustered. WHEN AM I GOING TO FIT THAT IN?!!!
I was hoping to work some tonight but Monkey refused to go to sleep until about a half hour ago. I started work and my head hurts so much from the sinus pressure that I just couldn't concentrate. So instead, I decided I'd write a poorly written, scatteredbrain post.
But the thing I really wanted to express in this post wasn't how aweful things were today and probably will be tomorrow. I wanted to express how frustrated am I at this roller coaster ride I seem to be on constantly. JUST when I think I'm catching up, WHAMMO, roadblock. It's either I'm sick or Monkey is sick. Or someone quits unexpectedly at work and I'm dumped with their workload (um, hellloooo, I'm PART-TIME people!). Or it's a holiday and I'm forced to concentrate on the tangent items that brings with it. UGGGGGH.
Do you feel like this as well? Is this just life? I feel like everyone else is moving on, getting stuff done while I'm treading water half the time.
BTW, in case anyone is wondering, DH can't go to those things tomorrow due to work obligations that he just can't get out of this time.

Sorry to see you aren't feeling well. I'm so over being sick after pucking my head off again this weekend. The bugs going around this year are aweful! I'm not one to get sick easily either! Monday I stayed home missing some meetings at work - it set me back but whatever...work isn't the most important thing in the world and I can only do so much. I'm just trying to do one thing at a time and not get to flustered by it all. I've just excepted this is the way life is. Hang in there.
Dana -- That stinks having the stomach bug twice! Hope you and the family are feeling better!
UPDATE: I decided that I was too sick to go to work and cancelled my meeting to go to a doctor's appointment instead. DH joking said, "You could have meningitis," since I had the stiff neck and of course, then I had to get checked out. Turns out it's just an upper respriatory infection and I'm supposed to check with Monkey's doctor this afternoon about taking Mucinex and breastfeeding.
Hopefully by tomorrow I'll be able to A) breathe comfortably, B) not have a headache and C) chase Monkey around the house without neck pain.
Ugh! I hope you are feeling better soon!
And yes, we feel like this too. I hear that things calm down eventually... someday... I swear I hear it does...
