…as in Benadryl and exhaustion.

For some reason, I got a raging sinus headache earlier this morning while I was working at the library. I thought maybe it was a normal headache due to being hungry or something, but then later in the day, the headache went away (thanks to some Aleve) and was replaced with congestion. :razz: I popped two Benadryl and now have an alternating runny/stuffy nose. Also, the Benadryl has really gone to my head, so if this post makes hardly any sense, it is because I have medicine head. :)

Today I went to work–Sundays at the library are so nice because I work before we open, so there are no patrons there and I can be noisy if need be! Also, I get to leave at 12:30 and get other stuff done, which is really nice. M and I went to a restaurant we hadn’t been to before and that was pretty good. After that we went to Target since I needed a few things…I found a cute thermal shirt on sale as well as a case for my BlackBerry. Also bought things like a new toothbrush and Nylabones for my doggies, stuff like that.

I came home and spent about an hour balancing my checkbook because I had procrastinated for about two weeks and hadn’t balanced it at all…I was somehow off by $0.58, not sure how that happened but I didn’t care much and made the adjustment.

Tomorrow morning, I’m going to get my official library ID badge, kind of exciting because it will be really official. :) Today was my last day of training with my co-worker…so we won’t work the same shift ever again! She’s going back to day shift and I’ll be there at night. We will still have contact with each other, just not in person. I’m kind of sad about that because I enjoyed working with her.

ok, I need to go lie down and take a nap or something…it’s too early to go to bed though, if I sleep now I’ll wake up at 3 AM or something. oh, my parents moved their treadmill into my old bedroom (it used to be in the den, where my dogs sleep), so I’m going to try to use it every morning from now on. I used to walk at a park after work, but that was before my second job and now I simply don’t have time to exercise. I have to go back to the lab in 3 weeks to get my bloodwork redrawn for my cholesterol rescreening…I’m afraid it’s still going to be high…time to get back into oatmeal and exercising! I hope I can pull it off before I go back to the doctor, haha!

oh and this week is a short work week of 3 days due to the Thanksgiving holiday, yippee! I am soooo happy about that! Now that’s something to be thankful for. :)

    are you feeling any better? I hope you don’t have this crud that is going around :(

    yay for your short week! I actually have a longer week due to other people taking time off this week… but that’s okay, I guess.

    I am feeling a little better, but I am coughing way too much. I have a feeling it’s my old friend (not) bronchitis. cough cough cough. But other than that… yeah, I’m better. :) glad yours was allergies and not something contagious and horrid (though I know allergies can be just as mean).
