Salsa Headaches

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

So I’ve been doing really well with managing to get out salsa dancing most Tuesday nights. I could really do without these weird exercise headaches though. Last night was much better (even with forgetting to take my inhaler) and I was able more than once to dance two or three songs in a row. Afterward though my headache just wouldn’t quit. I managed to fall asleep, but woke up two or three times with it pounding. I got up around 8:30 because I’d woken up again and my head had subsided to a dull mild ache, and sometimes laying in bed too long can actually make it worse. I think I’m going to see if I can move up my neurologist appointment in October so I can ask about these headaches.

I also managed to get a note from my doctor suggesting that I be allowed to telecommute, so I really hope they get that set up soon. When you’re sleeping and dreaming about being tired, that’s not a good thing! Plus this is the first time I’ve been out dancing ever that I was yawning before the music stopped. Also, I think maybe young college guys aren’t used to checking for rings before hitting on girls. It’s sorta flattering, but at the same time, I’d rather be dancing (or recovering) than fending off someone’s advances.

Other than that, I have some phone calls to make this morning to the wedding locations I’m trying to decide between.

Friday, September 19th, 2008

I managed to get a bunch of stuff done at work today, and only stayed about 10-20 minutes late to do it (not counting the first 20 minutes I stayed late to make up for arriving 20 minutes late). Today’s plans are to make everything cookies for the BBQ & hopefully for JP too, and then help LR with prep for the bridal shower tomorrow. Tomorrow is going to be busy but fun.

Then Sunday we’re going to check out a couple places in the San Jose area as possibilities for the wedding. Then all we have left is to visit the Sacramento Zoo and make a decision. We’re also going to try to have lunch with a couple friends of ours who just got engaged! Oh noes, it’s contagious! ;)

Today was a half day, sorta. I was supposed to work from 1-5, but I ended up staying until 7:45 getting stuff done. I did however get a good nap in this morning after the cleaning service came.

I’m still really happy with them and could see keeping one even after I’m a stay at home (budget allowing) to at least do the gross stuff like bathroom scrubbing. At some point I do want a Roomba to help keep things clean, but it partially depends on if it can handle cat urk. Otherwise I wouldn’t be able to let it run when I’m not home, which is part of the appeal for me since I hate the sound of vacuums.

The other good thing about working late is that I can just make up the time on Friday and leave early to go help prepare for the bridal shower on Saturday.

And I meant to post this last night, but the power went out around 9:20 and I just now remembered I hadn’t finished posting.

I probably won’t have the time for this until my fiance graduates and gets a job and I switch to freelancing. Estimated to be around January 2009. Sorry to disappoint!

Monday Morning

Monday, September 15th, 2008

We managed to get a bunch of chores and errands done this weekend. On Thursday I found out that they’re going to let me start telecommuting 2 hours a day and then see how that goes. I’m really really looking forward to it. I missed salsa dancing last Tuesday due to having a bunch of migraines early in the week. I think my next neurology appointment is in October. Anyway, just wanted to start posting quick updates in the morning until I find more time to get back to longer ones.
