My supervisor's husband brought her in yesterday while most of the carriers were out so she could see a few people and see the workplace under the least stressful situation possible. (She was in an bike accident and has some brain damage, although she's recovering both physically and mentally remarkably well.) I am almost always done first and got back to the office while she was there.

She didn't recognize me. I was prepared for that, honestly. She didn't always recognize her husband at first and is missing a lot of details from the last few years. She remembers the employees who have been there a long time, but not those of us who are newer. So yeah, I was expecting it, but it still stung a little. I've worked for her for almost three years. She knows more about me than my own parents do, is the reason I was able to start seeing this therapist who wasn't taking new clients, helped me move into my new house, and she looked blankly at me yesterday without the first clue who I was.

And then I woke up with a migraine this morning. It's not related - I have had a bad headache literally since I left my group therapy class last Thursday and nothing has helped. But it wasn't bad enough to call in sick until this morning, and even though I've slept most of the day, it still isn't really going away.

Sometimes life just sucks.
