Monday Blues or is that Bangs

After my stressing weekend, I went to bed with a bit of a headache, which turned into a rip roaring hurricane by 2.30 am. I struggled out of bed to get some pain relief and also took some blood pressure pills, in case that was what was causing the pounding. When I awoke some 4 hrs later, it felt a lot better, but was still a dull thud in the background. The good news of the successful computer defrag, did a lot to brighen me up, but the slight nagging of guilt in regards to not driving teenagers to school bus and train knowing they would be drenched in the downpouring of rain, renewed the stress and the headache with a vengance. So off I go to do my three hours at Romantic Cottage (I may have called in a sickie on another Monday,) but with Graham been away, I felt obliged to go. I only work there once a forthnight, so when do they choose to have a builder demolish the wooden boards on the wall of my office, (they been SP Tubes) Today of Course. Bang, Bang, Bang, Clung, Clung, crash, goes the builder, Bang, Bang, Bang, Roar, Roar, Roar, goes my head. Then to add to all this noise it starts to hailstone, not just little hailstones, but ones as big as birds eggs, all pounding on the tin roof which is a whole 6 inches above my head. I am not sure which is the loudest, the hailstones or my head thumping, however there is a short respite from the builders noise, as he pauses to watch the hailstones beating in the shed door and which by now are starting to dent the soft inner lining of the walls of the office where the wooden planks have been removed. I was so glad when my three hours were up and I left to go to my next job, that of teaching three classes (duration 9 hours). It is now nearly the end of the last class, and I am sure I have missed 3/4 of the questions asked by students tonight as the pounding in my head and ears gets progressively louder. Roll on 9.30pm, only another hour to go. But wait, then I have to drive home, thats nearly another hour. Where oh Where is my knight in the white limo, with the cool cloths for my head and the massage for my aching neck.
