Not quite the day I had planned


Today was the hubbies and my day off together, supposedly, that's another story all together! Anyway, we usually try to spend quality time together on our day off. I had a list a mile long in my mind of what we were going to do. My plans were shattered as soon as I awoke this morning. I had a splitting headache, I was nauseated, and I felt exhausted and I hadn't even gotten out of bed yet!

I laid in bed until 10:00am, for me this is late. I made myself get up. I went to the kitchen to get some caffeine thinking this was the ticket that I needed.I poured myself a glass of highly caffeinated beverage and made it to the living room. I sat in Bob's big comfy chair with my blanket and I didn't move until 12:30PM!!

I kept thinking, I have to get up, I haven't even decorated for Christmas yet! I haven't started shopping, I haven't even bought any Christmas cards, I haven't done jack crap to get this holiday season rolling in my house!!!

I again forced myself up, I took a shower, aw, I was feeling a little better. I got dressed, put on some face paint and we headed off to town.

We were hungry so we decided to grab some lunch before we braved the stores. We ate but I really wasn't that hungry so we boxed up our left overs and decided to hit some stores.

We went to a Old Navy, Linen-N-Things, World Market, Pets Mart, then Blockbuster and K-Mart. I didn't buy a thing!! Nothing seemed to catch my eye. I said let's call it quits. Bob was feeling cruddy too. He was feeling dizzy and clammy. I said this is nuts. Let's just go home. I felt like I had run a marathon, I had done nothing.

So, we finally get home. Bob is freezing and sleepy. He sat in his nice comfy chair, I covered him up with two blankets and he was off to sleep. I grabbed my pillow and blanket and laid on the couch. I was getting all settled then..

To no avail, the phone starts to ring! It's work! They have no cook for tonight. No one wants to come in to help out. So Bob ends up going in to work! How sucky is this day off, pretty sucky!

So I got absolutely nothing done on my list, not one blasted thing. I still feel under the weather and I guess I won't fret over all that needs to be done. I'm going to rest and see what tomorrow will bring. I pray I can get all of the things done that I need to do. I pray tomorrow I will have more energy and I will accomplish at list some of things on my mental list.
