A Day Like No Other?!

Yesterday I awoke with a headache. Rarely do I ever have a headache but yesterday I had one that hurt enough to take two extra-strength acetaminophen. Not long after I took the two pills my stomach also began to feel uncomfortable. The discomfort lasted all day and into the evening.

A little after 7 am I went to the school and moved around more slowly than usual while working. At the end of the school day when I went to my second job I found my client was also in pain. I called his mother and she came and picked him up early. I went home and ate. I forgot to remove the shirt I had on and exchange it for another. I had somehow allowed my shirt to be ripped down the left sleeve.

I then went to the home of another client whom I usually take to his Boy Scout meeting. He was also not feeling well so I stayed and worked in the home with him and his mother. I left his home at 8 pm, finished up some paperwork at the main office, and returned to my residence. I still felt not so good but I did the best I could.

About 9:40 our power went off. I was in the middle of posting on a health blog when that happened. The power company sent a man out who went into our back yard, stuck a long pole up by the transformer a couple of times and got the power back on for all 5 or 6 homes on that transformer. I brought the computer back up and checked my post--gone!! I rewrote my post and went to bed a few minutes later, happy that I could remove the extra blanket from our little one's bed--we now had heat in the house again.

I am still asking myself what could have possibly caused such an interesting day?! My wife, Claudia, and I were just amazed at all of this. To be sure, we both have had many such days in our lives--this was not the first and will not be the last. Still, like all of you out there, I wonder how it all happens at once!!
