So it was kind of an up-and-down week for me.
On the one hand, I had my annual review at King’s. I was a little concerned on how it might go. As it turned out, I needn’t have worried. I got a glowing review from Jane and Chantal. It definitely put an extra spring in my step as far as the job goes.
Another plus was on Wednesday I was on campus for a short while and got to see the entire Communications team. I literally met our two interns for the first time in person.
The downside of the week is I went to bed on Thursday and woke up again Friday morning with a severe headache. (It wasn’t quite a migraine but it was certainly threatening to turn into one.) I was hoping I could survive the day but by 1:30-2:00, I finally had to admit defeat and, after sending out a Principal’s email, I said I was heading off for the day. (Actually it was suggested if I wasn’t feeling well that I could head out, which I am grateful for. I have worked in places where no one ever seemed to notice or cared if I wasn’t feeling well.) Went from the home office right to bed for about three hours.
I don’t know what brought on the near-migraine although my Mom noticed I have somehow gotten sunburn. Yeah, this is how much of a wimp I am. I am out in the sun for an hour and that gets me such a sunburn I develop a massive headache because of it.
We did end up going out on Saturday. The day got off to a bit of a bad start as the first collectibles store had literally closed down overnight. We went out to the Brickyard Antique store in Delaware and went to a couple of Value Villages. Didn’t get a lot (a Bill Elliott “action figure” and two T-shirts) but it was nice to get out.
I’ve got two days of work this week and then three days off (plus the weekend) so I am hoping to get a lot of stuff cleared off my plate – as well as perhaps a couple of trips here and there. Hopefully that will mean some major updates on the website.
Meanwhile, stay safe and stay healthy.
