Sensitivity to noise and other things

I had a nice long weekend thanks to a professional day, President's Day and a snow day.  Now that I am back at work I am realizing just how lovely the quiet was at home.  I always forget just how loud my workplace can be. I'm a middle school teacher and it doesn't get much louder than that.  The noise that I'm hearing this morning is painful.  My desire to curl up in a ball and cry is slightly overwhelming. 

I also realize that being surrounded by light is making my brain hurt.  At home I keep window blinds open so I get natural light but I don't always have electric lights on (unless I really need them).  Natural light doesn't have the same negative effect on me that electric light does.  I wonder if that's the same for everyone else. 

The other thing that gets to me is the heat in buildings.  It doesn't help that I have my own internal heating system (or my own perpetual summer).  The heat in my building at work is dry and uncomfortable and I don't run it much at home so this is not fun for me.  I'm sweaty and feel like I need to sleep. 

OK, I'm finished with my rant.  I feel kind of yucky today.  I can't afford to feel yucky right now.  My grandson is home and I can't wait to see him next week.  I want to hold my sweet little boy.  :) Love and blessings to you all.
