The Credit I Deserve

It's uncharacteristic of me to miss a day, but it was necessary last night. I had the WORST headache I can remember having in a very long time. Every move. Every sound. Every bit of light felt like searing razor blades. All I could do was go to bed. I suffered from around 4pm until 9pm. Then I gave up. You know it's bad when even cannabis can't totally make the pain go away. It helped, though. Enough that I could fall asleep. The only thing that allowed me to escape the pain. I woke up fine this morning, other than feeling a little hung over (from the headache, not the cannabis).

The highlights from yesterday included getting a text from a beloved friend, Tony (and also ex-boyfriend, but that was a short-lived time in our friendship) that included several pictures of me and some of our other friends in high school. Since my mother got rid of all the pictures and mementos I had from that time, it was so touching seeing that blast from the past! I sent them to Marvin, too (another friend in the pictures who I don't think is friends with Tony on any social media). I sent a couple of them to Annie, because it's almost uncanny how much we look alike. Everyone is always telling me how much Annie looks like me, and I never see it... but I kind of do now. She looks like I did then. Not how I look now. My face isn't all that different, but my body sure is. Time, age, having babies. I'm never going to look like I did back then, but I'm okay with that.

I walked around downtown Poulsbo again. My wanderlust has wandered off, because lately I haven't felt much of a desire to roam. It seems like I'm always jetting off to the other side of the state, but the past few days I haven't felt much like going on adventures. So, I've been sticking closer to home. Poulsbo and Bainbridge, instead of Port Townsend or Port Angeles. I'm reacquainting myself with my home.

While strolling downtown, I ran into Mr. Sweet (one of my high school teachers). Recently I'd been thinking about him, because I hadn't seen him in awhile. We caught up and then parted ways. It was strange having Tony send me those pictures, then not even an hour late I run into my high school teacher, and I had a little chat with my best friend from high school! What a weird day... but in a good way.

I stopped into InMotion dance studio to look into getting Keenan into dance classes. I'm thinking of getting him registered as one of this birthday gifts. I like the idea of getting the kids experiences as gifts, less stuff. It just clutters up their room, and most of it they don't even play with anymore. I hope he enjoys it. Next week he gets to drop in on a couple classes to see what he wants to join. I kind of want him to be a ballet dancer, but it's totally up to him.

It was around market time my head started hurting, but we still went. I stopped at Starbuck's in the hopes that caffeine would help, but it didn't. I suffered the rest of the night. Thank goodness sleeping fixed it.

Today was entirely encompassed by work. It wasn't bad though, it went smoothly. I've accepted that I'm not going to get good sales right now. It's sucky, but a fact. Unless I can get out of the fitting rooms and actually interact with customers first hand, I'm just going to keep being the go back bitch.

Or I can accept that and wait out the sale. Once there's fewer people working, I'll get the credit I deserve.
