I was out and about doing some shopping yesterday and today. Last night my feet were killing me as were my hips! I did ok for a few hours and then I could feel it so I finally came home. I thought I was ok when I went to bed but slept horribly and it took forever to go to sleep. I told my 'hard to sleep' friend that I had empathy now for her as I understand how frustrating it is to be lying there and not 'drifting off' which I normally do. The longer I was awake, the more frustrated I became.
Anyway, finally did sleep and got up to do it all over again today! I wore a different pair of shoes and decided NOT to stay out as long but come home - take a break - then maybe go out again later (if I feel up to it). The days to Christmas are coming fast and although it is only November, the days of shopping for me are becoming less and less. Work and other things seem to interfere with 'walking around stores'!
I do have some of the gifts purchased so it is not a total loss but the thing with shopping is I buy one thing, and see something else and then I have to return it. I was hoping to just 'look around' first but I don't think that will happen. I should just 'buy it' and forget about it!
I also ran out of ink on my printer so had to make a trip to Staples. That took longer than I thought (so much to see!) and now I also have Christmas writing paper which I hope to use for those few letters I mail out! I guess I should be starting on my Christmas letter too! So much to do...so little time!
