Daydream Believer

Today is going to be a tough one. My allergies are acting up, for one thing. Three hours since I dosed up on Sudafed and eye drops and my eye is still swollen and leaking. I brought my makeup to work in the hopes that I'd be able to put it on once I got here, but nope. I look like a pale, washed out, crying mess, prompting everyone who knows I went to a funeral yesterday to be especially concerned.

There's a whole rant about my mom burning leaves in the yard and the smoke exacerbating my allergies, and how we just really, really want to hurry up and move, but I'll save that for later.

I'm also still out of my ADD supplements, and the allergies are just compounding my ADD. Which is just too bad, because there's a ton of work to get done today, and I can't very well just say, "Sorry, I'm out of focus. Can somebody else handle that?" I've got to figure out a way to pull it all together and concentrate.

I was actually looking forward to going to the gym, knowing how exercise helps with the focus factor, but I just got a reminder that there's a mandatory admin meeting scheduled for lunchtime. At least they'll feed me. That makes the time I spent making tuna salad last night kind of unnecessary, but I guess now Friday's lunch is also covered.

Somebody said something about a ton of drawings needing to go out this afternoon. On the bright side, that will give me something physical to do that doesn't require too much thought. But as it sounds like I'll get to spend the afternoon stuck down in the copy center, I'm hurrying to get all of my personal business wrapped up while things are still relatively slow.

Bleah. I should have asked for two days off.
