 Today we had the annual school carnival again. Which is basically 2 hours of carnival festivities for the kids, but needs 4 days of building/demolishing/cleaning. Every year I dread this weekend a lot, because being the introvert HSP that I am, weekends with no real free time, stuffed with loads of people and noises is awful. This year even more so cause today I got ill as well. Massive headache, that I seem to be having for a few days now, but today was the worst. And also this overal body ache. I managed to go through today, but am now in bed and the headache is so massive, I can't even get to sleep. My body aches and I have no idea how to even lie down. I am super tired but can't fall asleep due to those headaches and body aches. And all because of a 2 hour school carnival.

Tomorrow is my day off, but it is also the day in which the school gets turned back to normal, which involves a lot of cleaning. I was feeling guilty for not going, but seeing how I have to teach for the rest of the week and the state I am in now I guess I need to get rid of that guilt and just take care of myself first. 

Ugh, I want to fall asleep and get rid of this headache!

So...work is still insane. It's getting better now that there's a date in sight that marks the end. However...it's been stressful, emotionally. As in: fucked up nights and dreams, feeling so super tired long before midnight etc...
This weekend I decided I'd call in sick this week just to get some energy back. But of course I can't just call in sick. Nature decided to help me though and gave me a cold: headache, soar throat, cold etc...All my muscles ache. Had a fucked up night last night cause of the muscle ache and really weird dreams. So...the decision to finally call in sick for 2 days was made. My body is now telling me to get some rest and energy back.

Of course my boss had to call this afternoon. This other colleague has been ill since yesterday and won't be able to make it into work tomorrow either so if I could teach. I told him I'm not even sure I'll be able to make it into work tomorrow either. I'd let him know tonight. Of course I won't go into work. I may not even be *this* ill, but still. Because really...this other colleague who's got NO class to teach whatsoever, who taught this one class for 1,5 hours yesterday, who's only ready to do fun stuff, nothing else, who's overpaid etc...will be in school tomorrow doing nothing, again. He gets paid more money than me, yet doesn't do much for it. It's no longer my problem anymore. Let him work his ass off for once. I'm calling in sick for the rest of the week. Next week, Tuesday, I'll show up for work again, not this week though.

It feels good. Wonderful. Some time to myself. I dragged my pillow and duvet downstairs and I'll just pamper myself. Some tea, some movies and just nothing else. Without feeling guilty.
