Was gonna post something snarky...
Bless us.
But a lot of my energy has been depleted by a massive allergy/sinus attack. It was so bad, I moved my claritan forward to last night, and went out for benedryl today. *sigh* It's seems under control right now.
Yesterday, I went exploring at the shopping center next door to where I'm staying. I had a grand time wandering some stores. First, there is a Russian grocery store over there. I hope to visit it before I go home. When I saw it, I was so cold I had to head home.
I decided I wanted a new winter hat* for Yule, and something else too. I didn't know what. I looked in a few stores...
*the present winter hat which covers my ears has a few, quite a few, holes in it now, the nipple yarmulke doesn't cover my ears (buts covers and softens the sharp point on my head), and my hat from A is bit loose on my fat head, but I love it and it's perfect for 45 degree plus days, and doesn't cover my earlobes. I would love a stocking cap, or one of those Tibetan wool hats with ear flaps, but I'm cheap and something I can afford which covers my ears would be lovely. Just need to find it.
Dollar General had a hat I would call an under hat. Felt nice, but it was really thin. But it didn't mention thinsulate. But I discovered some off brand mocha drinks. Also, my surprise gift to me is a $1 snazzy eyeglass case. It's dashing in gold lame and black checks with a starship profile. My previous one is over 3 years old and ratty and dirty. I scored like a bandit here.
Big Lots carries some interesting stuff. And lots of brand names too. If my luggage wasn't full of clothes, I'd go grocery shopping for us at home. Alas, no winter hat.
The CVS had one hat remaining. But it was all stretched out. I even tried the hardware store, but nothing.
I will have to start wrapping my head in a shawl or two to keep warm up there.
Yesterday, we also had some teriffic winds. It was really cold!
Last night was the allergy/sinus attack. Just yuck. But I was able to fall asleep eventually. Only got up twice during the night [that drink lots of fluids thingee].
I woke up wore out this morning. Everything wants to be heard in/with my body. Oh well, I have stuff to do...
The cats were mildly upset this morning. Probably because I was off, I'm not J & D, and there was light and no brunch. The horror of it all. I got everybody fed. Including me! I rediscovered how to make toast with a broiler. And I was able to warm up my hands too!
After the previous excitment, we all had a rest.
Then off to the center again. With a plan! Got me a newspaper. Went to Dollar General to get more mocha drinks to last me through the week. Went to Giant for benedryl and Pepsi One. Decided I could have a donut for my afternoon caffe today. and I decided I deserve one for Xmas day too. It will be a lovely dessert with my pork chop supper. Because I'm special, I deserve treats, and I'm the only one who's going to get them for me, at this point and location.
Came home frozen. The wind kicked up. I gave a homeless person enough money so they could get a meal at McD's. I rested.
Put on some Criminal Minds DVDS, made some lunch [turkey on whole grain bread with a salad], started the paper, and just was. There is much to be said for just was-ing/being.
There will be more reports as warranted.
Have a lovely day, Possums!
