Sugar Hangovers anyone?
Ah, the day after Halloween. A day filled with slugginess and sugar hangovers. Boy, do I remember going to school the next day with small baggies of candy in my backpack, snacking on it whenever the teacher had his/her back turned toward me. I think my niece and nephews are probably doing the same thing, knowing them. Actually, I think my eldest nephew is selling his to make some extra money. Lol, always looking to make a dollar.
Things didn't go quite as well as I had wanted them to yesterday. Chris and I did go up to Greenwood and we did get a new car. In fact, we looked at quite a few of them, but due to financial reasons we settled on a new LeSabre with less mileage. Plus we just had a good feeling while driving it. That was one of the major selling points. Though I am very happy to have a new car to get us through the next couple of years without worrying so much, I am upset over the fact that the whole day yesterday was pretty much spent up at the dealership. We spent nearly six hours there, test driving cars and waiting for the underwriters to do their thing. My plans to spend time with my brother, pass out candy, and have a rememberance celebration dinner were shelved as the minutes ticked by and we weren't home. I know that I had to have made Chris feel bad, but I couldn't help it. He was the one who stayed up Sunday night until about five in the morning to play his computer game and didn't want to wake up early. Had we been there mid-morning, we would have been home in enough time to actually enjoy the holiday. But regardless, we did get a new car for the new year. I didn't want him to drive the other one this winter anyway. When we did arrive home, we were greeted by a very excited little doggie who had been home alone the whole time. He definitely was happy we were home when we let him outside to do his business! Lol, the poor guy did go once in the bathroom but that was it. Chris fixed us a small dinner and instead of the place card ceremony, I said a small prayer of honor and celebration for our departed loved ones. Once I had rested from the trip enough, I meditated for a bit and reflected on the people that have gone on. I know that in my mind it wasn't enough, but somehow I did get a sense of peace while I was doing it. We ended up going to sleep early last night but not before we indulged ourselves in a little bit of the Halloween candy that we didn't get to pass out.
Today, I feel kinda on the icky side. All the stress from the salespeople and the worry over things got to me before I feel asleep last night. But I still got up early and was able to go pick my mother from work for the first time in three weeks. I even got to spend an hour or so at her house hanging out with my brother. I really miss doing that so it's awesome whenever I can. My hands and feet are definitely on the swollen side today. I don't ache as far as joints go, but my muscles are bothering me. They feel as though they are going to start into cramps but never do. It's like they are on the edge of it, but never goes completely off into cramps. I still have a headache and it kinda feels as though it's sinus related but I'm holding out that it's not going to be a big deal. I'm still going to try and do a couple more loads of laundry today. It's hard when it piles up and I have to spend most of the week doing little loads. But it also gives me a sense of accomplishment when get them done. I want to try and get a few other things done but I'm not going to push myself to do more than I am able to do. First off, I need to give Dudley another bath with flea shampoo to keep them from coming back. Plus the laundry. If that's all I get done today, then I will be happy.
Well, I'm off to get the first load started as well as answer some emails. I hope each of you had a great Halloween. May this day be a great one for you.
Until next time,
Kim
