I ended up giving myself a concussion this past week. I forget which day it happened, and a lot of details since. I banged my forehead off a solid wood door at a client's house, and about an hour later started feeling the effects. Headache, dizzy, off balance, short term memory sucked, and then later that night when I was trying to go to sleep I kept getting sharp pains where my head connected with the door.
They don't call me grace for nothin.
I didn't go to the doctor. Why? Because they would just tell me to rest. That's all you can do for a concussion. So I kept working instead.
By the next day the only symptom still hanging around was the memory thing. That lasted a few days, and is still somewhat affecting me. It's mostly short term stuff, like what did I do last night? Did I text such and such after I did X, Y, and Z?
The good news is this week is a short week when it comes to working because of Thanksgiving. I have clients Monday through Wednesday, and then possibly none until Monday, but there is always the chance I'll have a few last minute appointments this weekend. I don't mind. Money is money. I need it because that's what makes the world go round.
I also need a better job. One that has consistent pay and a real schedule and that I can actually make enough to save to get a place of our own and then be able to pay rent every month. Or I should win the lottery. But I'm about 99.9% sure getting a better job will happen before I ever win millions.
I also need to save money for a divorce. Ugh. That will cost me about $250-$300 and I just don't have that laying around. I could probably get him to pay half, but I don't want to start any fights where he decides to go hire a lawyer and cost me thousands instead.
We don't have assets or children so it should be pretty cut and dry but you never know. Sometimes he gets wound up and jumps with both feet into a not so great decision.
Other than that- things are good. We got our first snow (a dusting) that stuck, and it caused accidents everywhere. Roads were closed, tractor trailers were jack knifed, and it was pretty inconvenient. I got to test out the 4 wheel drive on my truck and I'm happy to say it actually works! One less thing to have to fix.
I'm not a morning person. I woke up about 6:45 to let the dog out, and now that I'm back inside typing this on my phone I think I might go back to bed. I don't have work until 9:30 and it's only 7:15. Yeah... I'll go back to dreamland for another hour or so, then I'll think about waking up again.
Hope you're all well!
