Getting over it: really could mean a lot of things. Today it means I'm on the mend from this nasty bug. It also means that my mind is free today, and I'm not beholden to my self doubt and low self esteem. Yesterday was hard, real hard. It came on pretty suddenly. I kept getting interrupted as I was doing my post (which is normal, since I was at work and that comes first), and as time went on I just felt more and more lousy. Then my head went to its bad spaces and some of it flooded out to the blog. But today is a new day. I don't feel good (physically), yet, but I'm much better off than I was yesterday.
Brian and Ryne went to the local h.s. football playoff game today. Beforehand they also went to lunch. Caleb didn't want to go, so I made myself pull my shit together (which, btw doesn't include me showering today :), and took Cal out to lunch. He absolutely loves this local Mexican restaurant. Crap, I should've taken a picture of what he orders. It's the kids nachos and it's huge. It's one of the most disgusting thing a Vegetarian can look at. The chips are just piled with ground beef, and then there's a white cheese poured over the top making it look even worse. And as always, Caleb asks what is hamburger made of? Then he'll go on to hot dogs, etc. He knows the answers, but I tell him anyway, as he happily eats his dead cow (and let me tell you, I hope it's cow). Overall, it felt good to get out of the house if even for a short time.
For the most part, the rest of today has been full of, well, rest. 90% rest, 10% cleaning. Not bad odds when you're not feeling 100%. I also received a call from Tammi, and we talked forever. Damn I love that girl. I know you do, too, if you've ever met her. You'd be hard pressed to meet anyone more honest, open, loving and just makes you feel good to talk to. It definitely helps that she loves to laugh. It makes me feel like I'm actually funny :) She even helps me in laughing at myself. She hasn't been feeling well this week, either. She had talked about being clumsy yesterday, and I let her know that it had been all day for me. My head wasn't on straight. It started in the shower. I seriously must've dropped the soap 10 times or more. Thank God I wasn't in prison, because I'd be sending out signals that I wouldn't want to extend. Next, I was getting Cal's lunch ready and dropped his fruit cup, splattering it all over the floor and the socks I'd put on a minute before. Not much longer, I went out to my car to head for work and through my backpack onto the floor of the passenger seat. Unfortunately, I caught the hard plastic straw in my Green juice cup. It snapped it right at the point where it comes over the cover. I'm shocked I made it to work in one piece. Anyway, I was serious in telling Tammi about how out of it I was and she couldn't quit laughing. Of course that made me laugh, and we were able to take ourselves less seriously even though we both felt like dung.
My relaxing today has consisted of hanging with the boys and talking. But the biggest portion really has been dedicated to reading the second Harry Potter book. I finished the first last night. I must say that I'm enjoying them, but I'm not in love with them. I hear they start getting really good at the 3 book mark. I'm hopefull. It's been so nice, just to rest and read, though. Good for the soul.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
