Rough weekend
Emotionally, I had a...bad...weekend. I did get through it though. I still feel raw, and probably will for a bit, but it's better than feeling like the festering wound that I was. And I learned that you can cry hard enough to render your waterproof mascara useless. LOL Honestly, I'm feeling better and tomorrow, my Mom will be visiting for a few days and I'm hoping she'll have words of wisdom to add to the mix. Or just Mom hugs. Those work too. :)
I'm a bit upset I have to work a half day on the day I pick my Mom up from the airport, but only at myself. I procrastinated on some cleaning and now I've realized it just won't get done! No time! I mostly just needed to vacuum the sofa again as Pandora has been shedding like crazy! I can't believe she's not bald. She's gotta be about done though. Usually only lasts a couple of weeks. It's ok. I'm sure Mom won't mind if I take a few minutes to vacuum the hair up. She worked once and can remember just feeling too tired to do housework. It's not like the place is a sty. I cleaned up all the clutter which made a vast improvement.
So thunderstorms and rain the whole time Mom visits. And we wanted to go to Chicago. I guess we'll have to see. It's only $4 round trip on the train so we can try and if it just gets too icky out then, not much wasted. At least Mom can say she finally got into Chicago this time! LOL If not there's plenty of other places to go. We can maybe get a walk in around where I live (between bouts of rain of course).
Oh! I just remembered something I wanted to get done. I need to find a site I can buy oils from. I'm out of ginger and there are no stores around, that I'm aware of, that sell essential oils. It's almost strange to me, considering the area I live in. This is the perfect place for a pagan-type store. There's Buddhist meditation around the corner, yoga a couple blocks away, an organic cafe, a bead store, lots of local art...I realize I'm sterotyping but it seems like someone would have opened up a "new age" store of some sort. Maybe I haven't looked hard enough. Now I'm hoping there's a break in the weather long enough over the next couple days so I can explore a bit more.
Gotta go! Things to do and work to get ready for! Have a great start to the week!
