Sleeping Like A Log....

I can't believe it....I slept like I haven't slept in a long time last night.  I was very tired from all the cleaning I did yesterday.  I really was on my feet more than I have been for ages.  Result?  My feet hurt..a lot....and my lower back hurt me so much that I couldn't sit upright for any length of time.  So...I took two of my mild pain pills.  I couldn't take my oxycodone because when I take one of them, I get nauseous when I wake upp.

I kid you not.  I couldn't figure out why I was frowing up (misspelling is deliberate) until I made the connection.  I only did it after taking one of them before I went to sleep and woke up to go to the bathroom.  After I would go sit at my computer, I would start getting nauseous.  Enough that I would start sweating and then....boom.  Luckily, I usually only had some coffee in my stomach so, if I would lay down, I would frow up that and then within just a few minutes, I felt fine.

Today is clean the rug day.  No, I never got to it yesterday but I can do it this morning and that's pretty much it for the things I wanted to get done.  Heck, I even cleaned off my fan (the spoke of the fan guards were very dirty).  I fell asleep around 11:30pm and just woke up at 6:30am due to the need for the bathroom,  I found the Beast was already up and dressed.  Why?  He said, *I have to go get my buddy*.  I forgot that Baron was at the vet's office because of his surgery yesterday morning.  I think he's going to have one of those cones around his neck due to the fact that he could reach the area where his stitches were going to be.  I mentioned that to the Beast but I don't think he really believes it.  He's gone now (it's 7:05 and the office opens up at 7:30).  It takes about a half hour to drive there so they will have 5 whole minutes to open before he shows up.  LOL!  I wonder who missed the other more?

I'm going back to bed.  I feel like I need about an hour's sleep before I wake up fully.  I MUST take a nap today because we will be leaving for the airport at 3am tonight.  That means we MUST be up at 2am.  It will take us an hour to be awake enough for the drive to the airport in Huntsville.  *Sigh*  Thanks Homeland
Security...NOT!

I really want a haircut but I think I may have to get it when I get to Chicago.  I want to go to see my aunt first, if she's awake, so I will wait until after that to drive out to Kay's house.  I got one (haircut) nearby a few years ago so I will probably go back to that shop this time, too.  I have to wait for Kay to get home from work (around 4:30pm) so I need to waste a bit of time before I go to the house.  I can always go through a few stores and do indoor window shopping.  I don't want to spend any money on those things because I will only have a limited enough budget and I know what I want to spend on various other things while I am there.

I put a bunch of new phone numbers in my phone yesterday, mostly my cousins numbers.  I already had my family's numbers on it so I put the numbers of various cousins that I promised I would try to get to see them when I got up there.

I have a cold...not a bad one but all I could think about was that I should have waited to get my flu shot until I got back.  It's just that I didn't want to get on a closed environment (the plane) where I might be exposed to the flu.  But...I had forgotten that I got a cold after my flu shot last year.  It's not a normal reaction but I believe it got into a fight with my pneumonia shot and the result was a cold since my body was fighting different antibodies and it slipped in and took command.

I'm going to close now and I may not be abble to post the whole time I am gone.  I'm going to leave a little reminder later on today so you won't think I'm just not blogging.  I'll put the date and day I will return (Tuesday) but I will be reporting on what I did, whom I saw and start posting some of the pictures that I will be taking.  Please be careful driving (and,trust me, I will be).  Stay warm and dry.  Be kind.  One act of kindness may have consequences that you wouldn't believe.  Often, people are fighting battles that can't be seen but are there nevertheless.

Love you all.  ***Hugs***
