  • Third Night Of Nights

    Hello all. I hope this finds you all well, approaching the end of the week. Yay!!

    Last night I had trouble sleeping. I am not sure why, I just felt uneasy... well, that isn't entirely true. I was fine until about 8:00/8:30. I was sitting in the living room, blogging or something, I can't remember, and I hear banging in the back of the house. Not knocking, banging, but like on an outside wall, 3 times. I muted the TV and listened but didn't hear it again. So I got up and checked out all the rooms of the house, nothing, just as I suspected. I made sure the locks were locked and set the alarm and settled back in. The dogs never checked up, so I just put the thought out of my head (for a while). About 9:30 I let the pups out for their last potty run and then we headed to the back. The puppies layed on their bed and passed out. I ran my bath water and relaxed a bit. At 10:00 I finally drug myself out of the tub and headed for bed. I just felt uneasy. I watched a bit of TV, nothing on, as usual. Before long I was dozing with the TV on. But my phone would buzz from an email coming in or I would just wake up for no reason and again felt uneasy. My throat was so dry it was painful, every time I woke up. Gotta be from the heater running more with the weather being so cold right now. I'd look around the room and decide I was ok , get a gulp of water and tried to doze again. This was all night long. It sucked.

    At about 7:30 the door bell rang. Tancy didn't have a house key and I had to get up to let her in. My head was splitting. Like I took an ax to the side of the head. I crawled back into bed with her and eventually fell back to sleep. I got up at 10:00, head still killing me and got moving around and getting the day going. I had already decided that I was going to get a humidifier to help with the dry throat and maybe even help with the head ache.

    I got the dishes done while talking to Maw-Maw and then got dressed. I headed out to Petsmart and got the puppies some compressed bones for the weekend. Then I headed over to Bed, Bath & Beyond. I checked out the humidifiers and finally settled on one. I picked up some "breakfast" for Tancy and headed home.

    Tancy got up around 3:00 and ate almost immediately. Not her typical, but I was glad I picked something up for her. We caught up and chatted about her night and my night and day. She checked out the items I had picked up and then it was bath time. Before we knew it, it was time for her to head out. I had already called the doctors office about my headache (this time I decided I just couldn't endure it for 2 days) and they had called in some medicine for me. So when she left for work, I left for CVS. I went and picked that up, talked to Mom on the phone a bit while I was out and then back home. I had dinner and now I blog. That pretty well catches me up.

    I got a note from Daniele today, she had a 2 pound loss this week. She was incredibly excited and I can't say that I blame her. I am very proud of her for the hard work she's doing. I think we all know what a battle eating well and exercising can be.

    I got an email from a good friend checking on me also. We are going to have dinner next week. I was trying to think if I have anything else interesting to report. I don't think I do.

    I need to wrap this up, move the clothes around and accomplish a few more things around the house. Then I am going to take my medicine for my headache and relax while I wait for the relief. I would take it now, but I am afraid that I'll go sound to sleep and not accomplish anything. We leave first thing Friday morning, so I have GOT to get things done tonight and tomorrow. I'll be packing tomorrow night. I am sooooooooo excited to get home. I miss everyone so much. We have plans Friday, Friday night, Saturday night (I am sure we will come up with something on Saturday) and Sunday. Sunday night I am planning on a quiet evening with Mom and Dad. Monday morning we will make the trip to New Orleans. But its too soon to think about that trip. I just want to soak up every moment I can of being there.

    Alright kids, the pups are whining, probably need to potty. I should let them out and get started on things. I hope you all have a great night.

    Love to all!
