Hello October, My Old Friend
October is normally a pretty good month. The weather’s still tolerable, the landscape gets more beautiful with the turning leaves, we normally take a vacation, my wedding anniversary arrives, Halloween is always great fun…it has a lot going for it. However, my brain decided to start October 1st at 3am. I’m stressed out, there’s no doubt about it. I’ve said it repeatedly, I know, but Kauai can’t come soon enough.
For the last week, I’ve been dealing with a cold. Yeah, I did end up catching a bug as I predicted – but not a flu-bug, just a cold. Last weekend was either a waste or a godsend, however you choose to look at it. I camped out in bed, coughing, sneezing and sleeping the entire time. I did almost nothing of value or interest, but maybe I just needed the sleep. Adam has outdone himself in the husbandry department: he bought me a get well card, made me chicken noodle soup (from scratch!) and pretty much waited on me hand and foot. And just yesterday, he brought me 2 lovely bouquets of flowers. He’s mighty-good.
Well, this afternoon should be interesting because ALL afternoons are interesting after a 3am rising. Do they still sell Vivarin?
