Mondays

Mondays signify the start of a new work week. I am the only secretary in our school district's alternative high school. Most Mondays I'm slower from the get-go, like everyone else. Today I felt as though the weekend went by even faster than usual. I don't know why, but I just wished I could have called in sick today. I've had this feeling over and over again for the past few weeks, honestly. It's not like staying home would be exciting in any way, but I guess I would prefer it to having to go to work. It doesn't help that I haven't been able to sleep for longer than I can remember. I went to an over-night sleep study just over a week ago and I'm waiting for the results. I'm hoping that I will be on the road to sleep soon. In turn, I think that the road to working will be easier on me. I'm over-tired, over-stressed and understandably overwhelmed by my life, almost all the time. Something's got to give. Anyway, I made it through another Monday.
