Just one of those days....

You have them every now and then.  I seem to have more than my share as I get older, but today was just one of those days.

I slept well.  It was not fitful as it can sometimes be.  I slept in large chunks of time.  I used, for the first time in a while, The Breathe Right Nasal strips.  I will try it again tonight and see if it makes a difference.  But my total hours sleeping was close to 9 hours last night.  That usually results in a good day.

Not today!

I got off to a good start.  Gathering some things together and then sat down to pay bills.  This was where the wheels began to come off the wagon.  A couple of bills hit at the same time and I usually get them all paid and find I have some left over.  Not today.  It is going to be very, very tight until my next Social Security deposit hits.  Good thing I have lots of food supplies and the like at home.  I should be fine with just some bread, milk and eggs,

Then, I was expecting a very important delivery.  I heard the Fed Ex truck door slam, then a minute later again and they were gone.  I went out to find no package, just a door tag.  I am guessing that the door bell did not work (sometimes they do not) but the delivery person did not knock very hard, if at all.  I tried logging on to set up better instructions, but have managed to get locked out and will have to hope they will try to deliver again on Monday!  Really took my mood into the really rotten level.

I did get the van unloaded.  I am ready to head to Indian Acres on Sunday to pick up yet another sewing machine in a cabinet.  Not sure what I will do with it.  I would love to have a usable machine to have upstairs so I can sew during my recovery when I have my knee replaced in October.

It was very, very, very, very hot today.  I took a couple of breaks when I unloaded the van.  The dogs did not even want to be out today.  They usually enjoy times out in the yard, romping and watching the birds and stuff in the yard.  Not today.  Out, pee (and sometimes just to the pee pad in the the kitchen) and back into the cool air.

We are all spoiled.

This afternoon, I watched some sappy movies on Hallmark Movie Channel.  Some of them had me in tears... it was that kind of a day!  I was overwhelmed today and could have used someone to rub my back and give me a hug and perhaps even cook dinner for me.  Ended the day with buttered popcorn that I shared with the dogs.  It was a fairly nice end to the day.  But I really needed a hug!

Tomorrow should be hotter and hopefully better!
