I went to bed at 1:30AM but had to get up with Alex for an hour because his mouth was hurting terribly. This happens sometimes when braces are removed. I could not find the Anbesol anywhere. So I got back to bed at 2:30AM. Did not get up when the screeching alarm went off, but Mom’s persistence in calling me paid off at 7:15AM. Alex had gotten only an hour or two of sleep and was unable to go to school. I dressed in a jumper and set off for my best friend’s house. With traffic the way it was on Atlanta Motor Speedway it took me over an hour to get there.
I talked with she and her husband and watched the frenetic pace that goes on at her home office with amazement. I do not think I could ever manage to do all she does and feel whole at the end of the day. It is exhausting just watching… my nerves are all in a bundle this evening. Anyway she gave me two cases full of Girl Scout Cookies, printed a picture of Mom’s Valentine’s Day flowers which she had given her, all the while handling constant phone calls for technical support. Then she took me to lunch at IHOP where I had cheddar cheese and bacon crepes with hash browns. The food was delicious. I had a coughing fit while I was there and nearly caused a scene. I think I may be coming down with bronchitis yet again. I have chronic bronchitis, but have been lucky not to have an acute outbreak in a while. While I was back in the office I was able to log in and check some other blogs. I zoned out on my drive back to Douglasville and went the long way around… the driving was kinda relaxing though.
I stopped in town and looked around Borders awhile. There are some books I would so love to acquire, but it will have to wait. Then I stopped and bought some Anbesol for Alex and picked up a little bunny rabbit for my Mom. I periodically do things like that just to make her smile. I love giving things away, it is a flaw of mine sometimes. When I got home I logged in here and checked Red Kitten’s blog. You should go read what she posted earlier today at Abnormally Normal People. We bloggers as a community need to get involved in prayer and support about this. Maybe we can make a difference.
I am not cooking tonight because I am quite exhausted. What with driving, spending time in the frenzy over there, and not getting much sleep last night, I am going to relax a while. I may return here in a little while.
Hope you all have had a nice day! Take good care.
Always,
Jo Ann
