    Sad Could Use a Pep Talk

    Hey, ladies.

    Going to work at 2 this afternoon. Today feels different from my usual Saturday... just a little "off".
    I was sick for a couple of weeks, which I attributed to sinus/allergy crap, but it turned out to be strep throat. Doc prescribed antibiotic that I had a severe allergic reaction to... mainly an angry bumpy red rash all over my body, that has just now subsided.
    So, I haven't felt well at all for a while, and haven't been working out nearly enough because of that. A couple weeks of taking it easy has made me noticeably less firm, though my husband insists otherwise... *I* can tell.
    Also, the scar on my left boob, the one I had fixed a couple of months ago, is still pretty pronounced.
    My skin is still a little uneven from the rash. I've self-tanned enough, I think, that it won't be noticeable in my (pretty dark) club...
    You get the picture... I'm just not feeling as hot as usual.
    Add to all of this the fact that I missed a few days at my vanilla job, so I am going to work today because I *have* to... we really need the money. My husband is all, "Stay home if you're not feeling it, we'll work it out somehow", totally nurturing and supportive as usual.
    Should I just stay home and get myself together, work next weekend when I'm a little better prepared? Or should I just suck it up & jump back in today?
    Halp, y'all... please. My normally healthy confidence level is dipping loooowww...

    I dunno freckles, if I were you I would stay home. I know I've been in situations similar to yours and when Im not in "work mode" and go in anyway, I always regret it for one reason or another.

    I know you had the same surgery I just had in September because of capsular contracture. Ive been covering my scar with body makeup, and no one has said anything...

    Times like this I usually take the day off, relax, then prepare myself in every way to go into work better than ever! Either way, I hope you start feeling better :-)

    Thanks so much SP... I think by the time i finished that post i was kinda leaning toward not going in, and maybe that is a good thing because I'm really not feeling as well physically as I was trying to talk myself into. I might use one of my vacation days to cover some of the time I missed last week, so we don't feel quite so much financial damage, and meanwhile, get myself in better condition so that I can come back strong next week.
    I really appreciate your words.
    I believe I'll go nap now. I can worry later, if I still feel like it.

    It's weird....I get those off feelings a LOT, but have found that when I go in and force myself to, I end up making the most money those nights. I felt like a chunk of sh-t last Thursday and walked out with 8.

    That feeling definitely sucks tho! I hope you feel better
    I'd grab my trumpet and I'd do a stripper sound, like the old Louis Armstrong, real raspy. And the people would go nuts! Then I knew that the sexual, sensual, guttural sound, that throbbing sound, is where it's at.

    Maybe you have a little bit of seasonal affective disorder? I know that I ALWAYS feel a little off Mid-Oct to Mid-Dec, I try to tell myself and do everything I can to change it next year, but somehow it happens again. This year I tried Prozac LOL - not recommending that for you, but maybe if you went and got your nails done or went out with a girlfriend it would cheer you up and make you feel pretty again , which I am sure you already are!

    This will be yet another weekend without working... this time, my 3-year-old is sick. I'm going to take the opportunity tomorrow to have my hair trimmed & colored, and maybe a deep treatment, that'll definitely help. Oh, and I've been working out like I'm supposed to, and can already see results.

    Whenever I take more than a week off I procrastinate going in, all hemming and hawing (granted I only typically dance 2 maybe 3 nights a week & I haven't been sick and I don't have a toddler- so my excuses are much poorer than yours!) Maybe go in on a slow night to get back in the groove. I don't work out, get my exercise through bike riding (transportation) and pole dancing...after a week I usually want to go in just to get a good work out from it. Stage sets definetly wake me up and get my energy going. Also maybe give yourself some additional thing to look forward to- find some new songs you wanna dance to or some extra little accessory to wear. I really didn't feel like going in this weekend, my bf sounds a lot like your husband- I was self-conscious because I'd broken out on my chin and I'm pale and it looked really red to me- my bf reaffirmed what we all know- WE notice that stuff- the guys are focused elsewhere! I ended up having a really good night once I finally dragged my ass out. Good luck babe!
