Some serious Monday issues

Some serious Monday issues.

Last night I wasn't feeling well, started getting a bad headache, I kept waking up through the night with the headache. Woke up this morning, it was NASTY (despite having taken advil last night and this morning). I contemplated not going to school, and something was telling me to not go, but I said hah...teachers do NOT have that kind of flexibility! So I got up and got ready and made my smoothie for the morning, put it in a cup and run out to the car in the pouring rain (smoothie got a little water into it...oh well). Get everything into the car, sit down, and start the car....or not. It would NOT start for me, I tried several times, even came back to the apartment to write a quick e-mail and send some text messages about possibly not making it to school today to teach, and not making it to tutoring today. Go back out, still won't start, wake Bryan up, see that he's SO not conscious enough to help me out. Car still isn't working. It's not the battery, cause it actually TRIES to start, there's something else going on. So I give up, and announce to my co-workers and such that i'm not making it and apologize a billion times over and over. Meanwhile, headache is still throbbing. Lay down to take a nap, am texted several times back about whether I'm making it or not, tell them the car isn't working at all, etc, and the buses don't go close enough to work for me to actually make it on time or even make it halfway through. Apologize a million times because all the stuff I have planned out is in the car and here with me, and not at school, because I sure did not plan on staying home today. So Bryan says he'll take a look at it after class, so while he's in class, around noonish, i decide to venture out again to try the car again. Ahem...it starts, it struggles a LOT, but it starts. Then bryan gets home, and checks it out. It starts just fine, no struggling, nothing. bargh.
I feel awful, I just hope it doesn't affect my chances of being hired on next year at the same place. I know that missing the tutoring hurt my points for the final grade of the tutoring project, but, oh well.
I hate mondays right now.
