Made it to Friday what’s on your mind?

Feeling all the mom feels because DS is under a lot of stress lately and I wish I could fix it.

That graphic is exactly me this morning... Alaska airlines had an IT outage overnight and my flight this morning was canceled. Been scrambling for a couple hours to get re-booked and coordinated with the others traveling. I can't get on a flight until early tomorrow, so will be staying at a hotel by the airport tonight. Ultimately it doesn't change things too much... just a later start and later finish tomorrow.

I didn't react to anything in the patch test yesterday... again. Same thing happened last time I did it. She's thinking I have a non-allergy nose thing, so has recommended saline rinse ( which I've tried before and yuck). She also suspects that the physical act of eating triggers a response from the vangus nerve and has given me a nose spray to use before eating to see if that helps. The thing that confuses me is that I didn't get a bump from tomato yet I know what happens to my body when I have some.

Today is my last day on the muscle relaxer, and that concerns me because ibuprofen currently does nothing for the pain. Tomorrow I will be renting my car since it’s going to be at least a month before I get my car back.

I’m taking the week off at the after school program because I don’t think I will be able to handle working all those hours.

I’m not looking forward to returning to school mainly because of my violent student. My body aches and I can’t imagine being hit and kicked right now. I do my best to avoid him, but sometimes he moves so quickly that it’s impossible.

What’s on your self care to do list today?

So far today, I've done numbers 3,16, and 18.

Today is my prep day for returning to work after my accident. We’re picking up my rental car soon, and of course the insurance only covers the absolute minimum priced car. I am used to driving an SUV, and I may have to drive a tiny car unless I am willing to pay a lot extra. I will see what my options are and go from there.

Later, I have a nail appointment. I decided to treat myself. I’m trying to get out of this depressive funk. I’m very hesitant about driving, but I know that I need to get over this.

I’m very relieved that I am only working at school this week. This way, if I have the energy, I can stay after to catch up on things. If I don’t, I can go straight home to rest.
