• May Day! May Day! Going DOOOWWNN!!!

  Why is it that you only get around to do things that you want to do when you get sick? I used to get migraines a couple of years ago and was free of them until this weekend. I still have no idea what the trigger is but when it hits, BAM! Sekura go down. I woke up with a headache on Sunday thinking it was just a slight hangover from drinking soju from the night before. Oh no, I should have recognized the signs of a migraine brewing. Tender head, pain only one side of my head, light hurting my eyes, and reading/watching anything made it worst. It would go away and come back stronger, go away and be even stronger. I finally went to bed last night at 9 with all the above symptoms with the beginning of a nauseous stomach. Having migraines hurt. Loud noises hurt. Everything above my shoulders hurt. I was only unhappy Sekura. I spent the night waking up every couple of hours to a persistent headache. Think of it as a throbbing pulse on the right side of your head where the only relief you get is pinching yourself to distract you from the pain. Seriously.
  
  So after getting 3 hours of sleep I woke up even worst then before and took the day off from work. I ended up eating some raman noodles and all of a sudden my head cleared and the aspirin I had been downing since yesterday and today finally worked and my head was pain free for the first time in 24 hours. Magic raman noodles allowed me to finally rest, run some errands, do laundry, send out mail, AND write this blog. God bless raman noodles.
  
  So what has been going on since my last blog? Well, school is back in session and that means I'm back at work. You know that feeling on Sunday that you realize that it's the end of the weekend and you need to go back to work? Then Monday comes and you've got the Monday blues? Imagine that x294394839. Going back to work after being off for 2 months is the worst case of Monday blues EVER! I mean, I miss having a paycheck and just plain working. But being a bum took a lot of effort too and I don't want to go back and erase all that hard work I did to become a bum.
  
  Being back at work does have it's perks. Since it's my 2nd year at the school, I'm no longer the new kid on the block. I know all the staff, routines, attitudes, and have very little questions about anything anymore. I finally feel comfortable and mostly part of the staff. It's hard to bond with other teachers since we only see each other during lunch but after a year working with them, it's going well. I still can hardly believe that I'm doing what I love and worked so hard for. With all the crap I went through and the jumping of hoops I still expect to jump and bark on command but hopefully that feeling will go away.
  
  We started celebrating birthdays! The big 28 happened to a friend and she still looks good. September is the beginning of birthday celebrations, our 5 year anniversary, Thanksgiving, and then X-mas. I have a feeling it's going to get real busy soon.
  
  On that note, the day before Thanksgiving this little Sekura will be fulfilling a life long dream and seeing New Kids on the Block in Concert! I can't wait!
