Just a quick blog to say I’m feeling better today. No more bad dreams.
I woke up early (well, relative statement, since this is me I’m talking about and I’m not a morning person) to go buy flowers for another wedding I’m designing. I knew I said I’d never do it again, but this situation is desperate. It’s the groom’s family, the second reception, the bride has no opinion, and the family is having one catastrophe after another. The groom’s Father nearly had a second heart attack, has had to have all sorts of tests, and now they know has a blood clot. The Mom is seriously stressed and has tried to pull this second reception/open house together, but is so worried that she can’t get it done. So she came to my Mother and I about it, so we’re helping out as best we can. The groom’s Mom handed me a pile of money, said, “I trust you, just please do it and I’ll love it.”
I’m great with that, and really glad I can help. This morning I was supposed to go order flowers, so my Mom, Jen, Max, and I went to Sam’s to look at flowers and such. But, I get there, and what happens? You know that flu that I mentioned I thought I was getting a few weeks ago? I decided to reappear today. I had to make several trips to the bathrooom in Sam’s, and then I still had to watch Max while my Mom and Jen went out to run other errands.
Once I got over to Jen and Kevin’s house, I think Max knew I wasn’t feeling well (I think it was pretty obvious – I was rather pale, my face went kind of limp, and I wasn’t moving too fast), so we just curled up on the couch and watched ‘Thunderbirds’. Max has gotten really cuddly lately, and it’s the best medicine ever. He sat on my lap and curled his head up against my chest as we talked along with the opening to the ‘Thunderbirds.’ “Five… Four…. Three… Two… One… Thunderbirds are GO!” It was great, even though I felt like crap.
After Kevin got home (he had the day off because he had to have a root canal), I took Max upstairs to his room, read him a story, and put him down for his nap. Then Mom and Jen got back, so I went back home to crash on my own couch. Thankfully my package from Amazon arrived. 😀 Perfect timing! I ordered a Daria DVD – “Is It College Yet?” Steven and I spent the day in the ice-cold basement, watching the Daria movie and two bonus episodes. It was the perfect way to spend a sickly afternoon.
And now it’s nearly 1 am, I’m dead tired, and ready for sleep. Good night.
