First Day...of the Rest of My Life

I. Am. Sore. Today was a busy day. I spent a lot of time on my feet. And for those of you who don’t know, I’ve been having painful issues with my left foot for a few months now. I’ve had X-rays and there’s no fracture or break. No one knows where it’s coming from and why. I woke up at 3 am this morning, wide awake and not able to go back to sleep. So I got up and wrote up the Meals Menu List and the grocery list and I filled out that Interview Form for the church. Derrick and the kids all woke up around 6 am. Derrick made us more coffee and I got on Twitter for an hour. Afterwards I jumped in the shower, then did my makeup, got dressed and did my hair. I ate breakfast and left for the bus. I forgot that the new timing schedule came out and so I thought the bus was late, therefore making me late for work, but no—it all worked out and I got to work about 15 minutes early.
I cannot believe how many GREAT sales Kmart is having AND I get a discount on top of it all—ridiculous huh? Plus I work at Payless, so I get shoes on discount too! Mama is set. Especially for the holidays. Anyways, today at work, I had a PAL Trainer named Dalia and she’s SUPER nice and totally patient. She rocks. We had fun training and touring and studying all morning. I got my Starbucks on during my break. After my break I was able to jump on the register semi-solo. After all, it was my first day at the registers, so I made SOME mistakes, but it’s pretty simple. I just had to remember the codes and passwords and all that fun stuff. I also found out that the pay period is different than I assumed and this Fridays’ check will be for ONE day, LOL. Oops. The day started to go by quickly when I was thrown on to the register. I had a few impatient customers, but NO ONE got irate with me—awesomesauce! 
I kid you not, the bus ride home from work was nearly 2 hours. There was SO much traffic and all the stops. Geez, I didn’t think I’d make it home for dinner and I got off at 2! I had to walk home 3 long city blocks in 100+ degree heat with heavy grocery bags to get home. I was dead to the world by the time I got home. Literally, dead. Pretty sure I was having a stroke of some sort. I KNOW I didn’t drink enough water today and I didn’t get lunch until almost 4 pm. Which explains why I couldn’t finish dinner. I’m so tired. I am so exhausted. At least I remembered to take my medications this morning. Hopefully tonight when I take Round Two, I’ll be okay adding a shot of Nyquil with it because I am sick. Yay, lucky me huh? Catching a cold on my first day. I don’t know if I caught is from Savannah who was sick a couple days ago, or from work today. I touched A LOT of money today. Lord knows what the hell I coulda picked up.
So, it’s Tuesday, one of my favorite days of the week because Extreme Makeover: The Weightloss Edition is on. (For those of you who don’t know, I’ve lost over 100 lbs) This show is so empowering and inspiring. I just love Chris and Heidi Powell. I just hope that I can stay awake for the whole 2 hour show. I’m so tired. And since I’m sick, I think I deserve some wine, so I’m gunna head over to Sprouts after work and pick up a couple of sale Rieslings. Alcohol is a natural infection killer right? Therefore alcohol is beneficial for colds?  Especially IF I mix it with OJ! Maybe I’ll get some Sauza Gold instead…Speaking of snot and sickies. Savannah completely ruined my work outfit today—so there goes rewearing this. Yes people, she got snot all over my top and pants. Ugh. It’s almost time for the kids to go to bed and I can start on my newest Autumn Craft. I’m going to be making a Candy Corn Wreath I saw on Pintrest. But first! I need to get this runny nose under control—OMG! It’s SO annoying.
