....Friday was cycle day 12....
....Today is cycle day 16....
So last Friday was AWFUL!!! It was one of the worst days I've had in a long time. Lets rewind just a little bit...
On Thursday I went to watch the school teacher's baby. Was my first day to watch little Blakely, kind of a trial run. I got over there at 9:00 and all I had eaten so far that day was a granola bar and a bottle of water. Not the best start to the day. Everything went great while I was over there! Blakely is a very good, sweet baby. The only problem was that I didn't bring anything to eat or drink with me. Oops! I found another granola bar to eat while I was there, but that's all I had. After that I went shopping. By the time I got home I had an awful headache and felt very dehydrated. Jared worked 4-1 again at Walmart that night (did I mention he's working at Walmart now?). I'm not used to falling asleep without him right there... So I didn't get to sleep until around midnight.
Friday morning... I was emotional as Jared left for work at 6:45. I rolled over and fell back to sleep. My day got a slow start around 10... I had some tea, I showered and shaved, and then got started on getting every little thing ready for our trip to IL (brides-matron in my best friend's wedding). We were to head out after Jared got home from his second job around 1am, yay! (not). I drank plenty of decaffeinated tea Friday trying to make up for not drinking much the day before. But I felt very light headed and dizzy all day! And I don't know why... but almost EVERYTHING made me cry! It was horrible! My calender said I was to work at McDonald's from 5-10 that night. I considered calling in sick since I hadn't been feeling too good. Around 4 I felt like I needed to go potty every few minutes, and I thought "maybe that's it! maybe I feel bad because of a UTI." I used to get those all the time and seeing my day before... I wouldn't be surprised if I had one again.
Anyways.... I never got around to trying to call in sick. I've never called in sick before and wasn't quite sure what to say. Then as I'm getting ready to head out the door... McDonald's calls me. GAH! She tells me that I was supposed to be at work at 4 NOT 5.... so... yeah... I was an hour late. And of course seeing as I was teary all day... I balled my eyes out on the way there. I was very light headed still while I was there... And every time I'd carry something heavy I'd get very dizzy. I wasn't feeling too good. I was in a bit of a fog, didn't quite feel like I was really there. I cried several times. Everyone kept asking if I was "ok" I'd shake my head NO... but no one would wait to listen for why I wasn't ok. Very frustrating!!! Eventually I asked the manager if I could go home early. He then asked me why. BLEH! So horrible!! He asked me why... and I started balling my eyes out again! It wasn't a few tears rolling down my face as I explained... It was me gasping between words I was crying so hard. And I don't know why!!! He sent me to the restroom to pull myself back together, and told me I should talk to the other manager because she's a female and I might be more comfortable talking to her.
Well when the other manager talked to me I was still balling my eyes out. She was worried about me driving home, I was such a mess. Anyways I did however get permission to leave, was just told to be careful driving. Yay! I got home and took some pain reliever, some benadryl, and a 2 hour nap before getting back to packing for our trip. After my nap I felt much better, maybe sleep is all I needed? Who knows. I didn't feel that way at all over the weekend (thank goodness seeing as I was in a wedding!).
I've had whole days in the past where I just felt like crying for no reason, but nothing like last Friday. I posted on Facebook about my awful day, and of course they all saw that as a sign I was pregnant. Thankfully I didn't read their comments until a couple days later, or else I would have been balling once again. Anyway that was Friday, SOOOO glad that it is over!
