It’s Monday, and I hate Mondays. I don’t think I’m alone in that, but it feels especially true for me today. Mondays always seem to hit harder when the schedule is stacked from start to finish, and this one is shaping up to be particularly exhausting. I’ve got classes to teach all morning and paperwork waiting for me all afternoon, which doesn’t leave much room to catch my breath.
To top it off, I woke up queasy, and the migraine that’s been dogging me for nearly a week is still hanging on. This kind of lingering migraine always seems to show up when I’m a week or two out from my next round of Botox injections. Sure enough, my next appointment is on Wednesday, and I’m counting down the days until I get some relief. Until then, it’s a matter of managing the pain as best I can and pushing through.
So yes, I’m not exactly starting this week at my best, but here we are—it’s Monday, whether I like it or not. Hopefully once I get through the busyness of today, the rest of the week will feel a little lighter.
I hope everyone else had a good weekend and that you’re off to a much better start to the week than I am. Here’s to surviving Monday together.
