Well, this has been an interesting week. I haven't been sleeping well at all, and have been running on coffee and energy drinks. Needless to say, I've felt pretty crappy.
Thursday morning I think the pre-surgery nerves finally hit. I was wound a little tight and everything was going wrong as I was getting ready for work, and by the time I walked out the door I had almost worked myself into tears. On top of that, I hadn't been able to spend any time with Meghan. I was having serious withdrawals.
I was saved last night though, by my awesome aunt who invited me to come over and hang out with the girls in her fam. I was going to go Friday night, but my tummy was upset and my head was hurting on and off. I tried to sleep in Saturday morning--technically I did--I just didn't really sleep, so we got going kind of late. Mom and I ran over to Ankeny to do a few shopping errands and then I headed to Mary's sister's house about a half hour away. We sat around the fire and drank beer and played the name game. It was g.r.e.a.t! I totally relaxed and had fun. (I also got to go the range with my dad and have some fun.)
<--Yesterday at Panera, 23 weeks on Weight Watchers and 44 lbs. lighter.
I was going to maybe stay over, but the can of beer I had was not agreeing with my tummy, so I headed home. I don't always sleep well away from home, either. Hallelujah, I slept pretty well last night and I am feeling better today.
Today I am doing stuff around the house to get ready for Tuesday. I'm getting some boxes moved so I can get around better as an invalid.
I'm ready to get this done! C'mon Tuesday!
