Yes that's right it is 5:04 AM and I have been up since 3:35 AM - but not because Mick got me up, but because I woke up and had an awful coughing fit. I thought I might get back to bed, but I guess the coughing woke up Mick - so we went for a walk at 3:50 AM - I was very sick in the stomach upon waking, so made some hot tea with honey. The antibiotic is not being kind to my system - so I could not go back to bed anyway. I am hoping that in another hour or so, things will have calmed down enough that I can get back to sleep - so though I slept like a rock - it was only for 2.5 hours yet again. ARGH - PS - no need to wish me good health - I wish that too believe me - I just needed to vent :-)
One more thing - I confess to being a little concerned that this is going to find its way to bronchitis or into pneumonia - it has happened before, not for a long time, but this seems to be the trajectory my life is currently taking.
I was at K-Mart yesterday and I have been buying their "quick sale" items. So they put the sticker over the bar code so the cashiers notice the price - except that the cashiers have to scan the item too- so they have to remove the sticker. I have now purchased so many of these items, I helped the cashier with the process yesterday - you have to hit the override key before you scan or you have to start all over. How pathetic is it that I know how to do this process??
Speaking of pathetic - my vacuum really took a nose dive recently. If it were picking up say 10 items, it would pick up 6, leave 2, and shoot the other 2 across the floor. Clearly vacuuming was an exercise in futility. So finally, I bought a new one yesterday. No bells and whistles - it just sucks up the dirt - I was so excited that it actually sucked up the dirt I went a little crazy sucking up dirt in the house. Yes - I was excited about a new vacuum - PATHETIC!
As I laid this out - I realized that my life - thought could be much worse - is currently not living up to the potential it has.
