I’m so tired. I start to think about the past month or so.
I love our Disney meets, but the month or so before are very busy for me. I put the headbands together, I make our buttons, I make our shirts. Making the buttons and shirts is time consuming, but it’s not the hardest part, the hardest part is actually coming up with designs. Although the buttons should be pretty easy from here on out, I’ll probably just use the same design, just change the year. Now that I’ve found a way that keeps the pinwheels on them better than just packing tape.
This year I got a late start on the video for the previous year’s meet. So, I was pretty pressed for time from August.
Since we have a petsitter who stays here, I do some major housecleaning the weeks before we leave. Then there’s the packing. Then, there’s the actual meet. Lots of early mornings (normal for me) and late nights (abnormal for me). And the drinking (not used to it like I was when I was younger).
We come home, I’m in pain for a week. Then in the hospital for four days (and I’m sure anyone can tell you, a hospital is NOT a relaxing place to be). Come home, I’m in “I can hardly move” pain for at least three days. Then I contracted a frikking cold that had me coughing for over a week.
My throat is still messed up, seems like my vocal cords more than anything (damn, I can’t yell, you know how frustrating that is? I have to get off my butt and get to the place where I can be heard…be it Brian back in his shop or Charlie taking out after one of the other cats). And I can’t sing worth a crap either. That annoys me, I love to sing.
We had an insurance audit yesterday. I had to gather paperwork together, print out forms and…clean house.
I want a couple of days where I don’t have to do anything! (Sleeping on the sofa getting over pain doesn’t count.)
I want my energy back! I know I had more energy than I do right now a month ago. A month ago I was at Disneyland with my besties, wearing pinwheel headbands and matching shirts! I want a do over of the last month, please. Now that the gallbladder is gone, it should be much nicer.
Thank you very much.
