This will be a short blog today. A raging headaches has me wishing that I wasn't even looking at this computer right now. My task today is about paying attention to my health.
I do try to push it sometimes... well, many times... well, all the time. I try to please so many people all the time. Sometimes I feel that the migraines are my bodies way of slapping me upside the head and telling me to shut up and listen to it. Like today, the sick to my stomach feeling because of the headache almost completely lays me flat out. The only answer? An ice pack on my head, pillows all around to block out all sound and light, and a cover all the way up to my neck.
My current place of employment makes it difficult to be sick though. Not because they look down on it or anything but rather because the place I work at is so much less stressful than other places I have worked that I want to go to work each day...so I push myself. Sometimes, I still need to stop and listen to my body and not feel bad about it. Today is one of those days. I apologize if today sounds like a task from January or February about resting. Obviously I didn't listen well and I need to keep working on it if it is.
Isn't it nice to be sick and feel guilty about missing work, rather than glad to be sick just to get away from there?
ReplyDeleteyeah. I love where I work now and so it was really hard to call in yesterday. I had to keep asking myself if I was a workaholic or not because of the feeling bad for not being able to make it in.
ReplyDeleteI could not believe it when in my last four work years, that I worked for the best employer that I've ever heard of. I could have, and would have retired at the age of 55. But it felt so great to work at this place, that I told them I would stay and help them out until I hit 58. But that was absolutely the limit. 58 came so fast, and I wish I could have worked evn longer for them, but I had to do it, if for nothing else, just to save what's left of my body.
