Wow so today was one of those days. It was a terrible day. It started yesterday really. I ended up having one of my bad headaches while in the middle of my shift at work. I took some Tylenol and it sorta kinda went away. I came home did my usual nightly routine. I worked 12-8 sooo no big deal except that for whatever crazy reason I scheduled myself at 7 am today. Anyways I manage to get to bed about 11:45 or so read a chapter of the book I am working on and I notice that maybe my headache is creeping back. So I turn out the light tired and I figure well maybe I can fall asleep with no problems. NOT ! At 1 am I get up go take some more meds my headache was at full tilt and it came on fast. So I have to get a wet cold rag to put on my head as well. I would say it was probably sometime after 2 before I fell asleep. Needless to say when the alarm went off at 6 am I was sooo not into getting up but I did about 20 mins later. Which in turn caused me to be about 15 mins late. Then I had to condition this morning boringggg and it took forever. I was constantly working but seemed like I was getting nowhere. Nothing went as planned today which in my job is not unusual but it was just a lot more irritating today with me being super tired and all. Also had the customer from hell call me 4 times today no joke. Not only did she call me she called the girl at my sister store down the street about 4 times pissing her off. They have what she needs at that store but she wants to come to ours. Anyways it was crazy. Then I had to sit in a conference call for like and hour and half. Boringgggg again. So it was one of those days where I felt I could get nothing done and I really don't feel like I did get much done. Needless to day I came home and went straight to bed. I was tired and just irritated. Then when I got up I was trying to go thru my order guide that goes on next week but I won't be here so trying to get it done. Was able to get thru some of it but I just don't think today is the day.
The good news is though tomorrow as of 4 pm I will be on vacation. I cannot wait. Look out Canada here I come! Bought some new clothes for the occasion. Now I need to go get some new shoes. The ones I have now are not working. Not much is else is going on my uncle is steadly going downhill whichis to be expected. I did get to hang out with Terra the other day and she was my shopping partner. Been awhile and it was like old times. We need to do that more often. Just shop than hang out and catch up.
Well over the next few days I need to pack relax and just unwind. It will be nice to just get away. Been a long time since we have had a vacation where we are actually going somewhere and I am excited to say the least. So not much else to say so until next time RELAXATION is the word. We all need it sometimes. I know I do after the day I had today. See yaaaaaaaaaaa.
Okay so it's been awhile and lots of things have been going on and also lots of nothing as well. I have been trying to go out and see my aunt and uncle once a week now. It's a long drive and tiring but it's family and you do what you need to do. My brother met us up there with my neice last Saturday. It was good to see them both. He is taking this hard. So is my mom. It's sad really. My uncle has worked his whole life kept in pretty good shape and here he is dying of colon cancer. It goes to show life is to short to just work and put off things and then put them off some more. He was supposed to retire this fall. My aunt retired about 6 years ago and got cancer beat it and now she is going thru it all again. I don't know how much longer he has but I don't see him being here for the holidays. It is something we are all gonna have to prepare for because it's not going to be easy and it's gonna kill my mom. I just hope I can be of some comfort to her in one way or another.
We went to Wyandot lake this past Tuesday. Had a good time I did get a little burnt. I think it was because I used that spray on sunscreen but overall it did it's job. Otherwise my pale almost translucent self woulda been in the hospital with sun poisoning or something along those lines. The past few days have been sooooooo HOT . I was dying yesterday and the day before that. It's supposed to let up some tomorrow thank God. I did manage to squeeze a concert in this past Sunday. Went to see Breaking Benjamin @ the newport music hall. I don't think I much like that venue. It was way to crowded and way to packed. It was soooo hot in there too. I sweated sooo much I was like um okay this sucks. I took Paula with me and she loved it and now BB has a new fan. So that was cool. It was a great show they sounded good, looked good, and they did 3 of their new songs off their new album coming out the 8th. I listened to a sneak peak listening party last night and I think there was 1 song I did not totally dig but I ofund my new fave song from them. Called Dance with the Devil. This is def a little of a different sound and style from them but it sooo works. There is one or 2 songs that as soon as they start off your like " Yeah that's Breaking Benjamin". The rest are a bit different and I think I like this album more than their first two but I really like so cold.
Might be going to Canada in a few weeks cannot wait. It will be so nice to take a vacation and actually go somewhere for a few days. Somewhere that I cannot go into my work or even think about it cause there is not one on every other corner. Don't get me wrong I appriciate that I have a job and most days I like it but sometimes you have just got to totally get away. Pretty much after the vacation the whole remodel is going to shift into crazy gear so I think getting away now would be good rather than having to put off the vacation till late late in the year when it's cold and the holidays and hockey season are upon us. Much harder to just up and go than.
Anyways that's all now for now kids.
