My Life Thus Far
I Feel Like My Head Is Going To Explode
***
Healing is knowing when to work your mind and let your
body relax, and when doing just the opposite makes the
most sense.
Now I understand why I felt weird yesterday. Either my
allergies are acting up or I caught a cold. Which doesn't
seem likely in the middle of summer. So, it must be
allergies. I don't feel sick (no aches, pains, fever,
chills). I feel like my head is going to explode. My
sinuses are throbbing. My throat is scratchy, one nostril
is running, the other is congested. My eyes are runny. I'm
a mess. I want to crawl in bed and take some Sudafed, but
I can't for two reasons. 1) The girls are still up and
need to be fed and put to bed in 45 minutes and 2) Dad
needs to be retrieved from the airport. Of course he
called to inform me that his flight has been delayed by an
hour. Crap. Where there's one delay, more are always to
follow. Well, usually. Forget about trying to look nice
for him. I'm throwing on a sweat suit and curling up in a
chair until he arrives. He's my dad. I don't have to put
effort into looking nice. I'll save that for Snookums.
Speaking of Snookums. I went dress hunting today. Last
time, I waited until the last minute to look for a dress
for his homecoming. I didn't find one until the day before
he arrived. I'm not waiting that long this time. I'm
giving myself 3 weeks. That should be enough time. I
thought I found a good one today. It was leopard print
with red trim, a red sash and a tulle petticoat under it
(to give it an A-line affect), but it was a size 16. There
was no way it would work. Even after I zipped it, I could
spin it around my body. I was disappointed. I know he
would have loved it. Gen suggested I have it taken in, but
that's too much effort for a dress I'll probably wear once
(other than my wedding dress. I had that taken in).
I did something new and exciting. Okay, it was new...For
me. I went tanning! I've got the strangest tan lines on
the planet from the 4th of July and I want to be evened
out by the time Snookums gets here. So, I did 20 minutes
in the tanning bed at the salon I get my nails done at. I
don't feel any different, but Gen said she could see a
difference. I figure a few times a week for the next few
weeks aught to be good. I want to be nice and dark for
him, since that's what he likes. I'll probably buy a
package, since it was $6.00 for 20 minutes. What a ripoff.
Gen and I did coffee today, too. Don't let me forget that.
Wow, this entry is all over the place. No kind of order. I
definitely think I'll take a nap before I leave tonight.
The girls will be going to bed early tonight, because we
have to get up early. I forgot about therapy this morning,
so it was rescheduled for tomorrow and Annie has a field
trip at 8am. Already I can tell I'm not getting any sleep
tonight. I open tomorrow, too. I'm going to need to make
up sleep this weekend. It can't get here fast enough.
Ciao for now.
