Migraine
I have a migraine on the way. It’s been lurking for a couple of hours, and it’s going to go into full bloom any second. I took some Napricin before I went to rehearsal, but it didn’t seem to do any good.
Actually I think the lights and the noise of rehearsal just made it more intense. I bugged out at nine o’clock.
My guess is that this is being caused by the change in the barometric pressure as the hurricane starts moving along. You could feel the change in the air today, and often a drop in barometric pressure will trigger a migraine in me.
I shouldn’t have gone to rehearsal at all, but I needed to go to tape the repertoire. I’d taped the three songs I’d yet to pass for the first time last week. I figured that because I’d missed four weeks of rehearsal there was little chance I’d pass them.
I was wrong.
I passed them all. I don’t know if this was a pity pass, or legitimate, but whatever the reason, I’ll take it!! I was so surprised when I got the critique sheets back. I had just one note wrong in "Birth of the Blues" and had been perfect on "Somewhere", and "Who Will Buy".
It’s an odd thing, but somehow when I learn a song, I seem to have learned it forever. If I’ve been away from it for a while all I need is a quick review to put it back in my head. That is one small talent I am so grateful for!
School was o.k. today, the same old crap revisited. The new assistant seems good, and is very eager. She’s so optimistic and wanting to try all sorts of stuff with my worst reader, and it’s so hard to tell her that we’ve already tried almost every program known to man to help this kid. It just doesn’t work.
The classroom teacher is still trying to avoid integrating these four kids at all.
I think my headache got its start in that room today.
Tomorrow is my very long day, as I have open house in the evening so I won’t come home after school. I’m going to dinner with the colleague I used to work with last year, who is now working in an administrative position. She’s the one who’s gotten these computer-related jobs for me. It’ll be interesting to hear what life is like on the other side.
The headache is taking over. It’s time to give in.
