The whole "Bring it on" thing? Not so much today!
I got to work and had some oatmeal from my food stash. It's not the end of the world, but we have a mouse in the office that has been getting into our stuff this week, and he has crossed the line into my desk as of this morning. He only chewed up the corner of a bag of popcorn, but the THREAT of him getting into all my food (that I NEED to have around due to low blood sugar issues, and now pregnancy) is enough to piss me off and also make me feel somewhat helpless. I NEED to have food there, but now I MUST get rid of it. Maybe I can keep a box of stuff in my car, but it's still Arizona, and stuff WILL suffer from the heat.
So, that deflated my incredible mood this morning right out of the gate.
Then, after the oatmeal, for some unknown reason, I got a belly ache and a massive headache. I ended up on the "sofa" in the ladies room for a while because I felt like I was going to puke, and if I didn't puke, I was definitely going to cry. Either way, not a pretty picture at my desk.
My boss came in after a while to check on me, and just talking made me start crying. (Like I didn't see that one coming!) I finally asked her to leave because even though she was trying to help, the crying was making my head hurt worse.
I just wasn't getting any better, so, eventually, I just went back to my desk and packed up. I was homeward bound and it was a GORGEOUS day today, which made me feel EVEN WORSE because I was going to miss it. What a waste of a great day!
Instead of finishing my day at work, I went home.
Instead of enjoying the nice day, I went to bed.
I feel like I've missed out today. I don't feel strong of mind or body. Pregnancy kicked my ass today and left me a sniveling mess.
Maybe once I pick Abby up, I'll feel better. I promised her I'd take her to the library yesterday, but she got in trouble, so it has to be today now. (I have stuff to return.) I hope it's still nice out when I finally creep from my cave.

ReplyDeleteTry putting all your work food in plastic ware, as in tupperware or such. My parents live on a farm and of course have mice issues, and this is what they do. Even keep utensils and dishes in a sealed box, and wash all utensils after every use.
Don't the mice just chew through the plastic? I didn't think that would work, but may give it a try. Either that or an old metal ammo box!!!
ReplyDeleteJust my luck, the FRIDGE at work went out today, too! So, now I just have room in the other one for what I need that day. Otherwise, I'll be hogging up more than my share of the available space and nobody else will have room for their lunch. :(
