Mental health day

I think I am serious need of a mental health day!  I took a little bit of one today, but it was truly because I didn't feel well.  We had torrential rains today in our neck of the woods.  Like, I am talking our "average" for this time of the year is usually 1.5 inches and today we got over 8!!  It was crazy!  Streets were flooded and shut down.  It was kind of scary. None the less, I forced myself out of bed and went to work (against my little dog's better judgement)


Isn't he just the cutest?  It is a wonder I get ANYTHING done with that sweet face begging me to lay around and cuddle!

I digress!  At my office we have to park across the street from our office and cross 4 lanes of traffic to get into the actual office, yuck!  By the time I did that I had also crossed at least 5 ankle deep puddles.  My slacks were soaked to my knees.  It was freezing until I got them dry.  Then, they electricity blinked and the a/c reset and never would come back on.   I wasn't hot, but there was no air circulation and for some reason I have an allergic reaction to the building.  We went through this same thing last year when our a/c went out in this building for several weeks.  When the air isn't moving I get terrible headaches and my eyes get VERY bloodshot and my throat feels like it is closing up.  So, by 2 o'clock today I was feeling pretty terrible.   I called it quits for the day and went back out in the rain to head home.  I came home, took a benadryl, watched Oprah and slept until "A" got home. 

Unfortunately, he wasn't in a great mood and didn't feel like humoring me in my "sickly" whiny mood so we just kind of ignored each other most of the night :/ 

I am hoping the weekend will be better!  We actually have NOTHING planned and I am hoping to do a little sewing, maybe hit up some yard sales and just be home!!  Hopefully nothing comes up!  If this headache doesn't go away by morning I will be taking tomorrow to stay in bed with that sweet little dog!!  I going to work on reason #3 in the Reasons Bad things happen to good people series tonight and hope to have it up tomorrow...sometime!

Isn't it just grand when the weather matches your mood? Sorry for the rainy day...but remember,

"Rain brings Rainbows"

On another note, Benadryl is my go to med of choice when I need rest! Glad you curled up and watched Oprah and had some down time. Hubby's can be stinkers sometimes! Hope that you are well today and the sun is shining upon your sweet heart :)

Mwah! and a BIG HUG cause I think you need one ;)

xoxo
