Thought I'd better pop in today

Today I had the day off from work. I get these grandiose ideas that I can get quite a bit accomplished on these days. So I made myself a little list for things I needed to do today. Seemed simple enough.
1. Go to the library to return books and pick up a few more.
2. Run by school to find out H’s new teacher.
3. Go pick up my meds
4. Get cat food and litter
5. Get groceries

I had them in the order I wanted to do them as well. Gee how anal of me considering I’m so NOT into making lists. Off we went to the library. Turns out they didn’t open for another 30 minutes. Okay not a problem, we head over to the school. We get there and lo and behold I had the wrong info and teachers won’t be posted until FRIDAY! Heck I thought it was LAST Friday. Sheesh. Two down and nothing done. Start to go get my meds. I get stuck in a major traffic jam. After sitting about 30 minutes in traffic I’m drenched in sweat, as is H. I’m in no mood to keep up this pace of going nowhere fast. So we blow off the meds. Okay three down and STILL nothing done. After heading back towards home we decide to stop for the cat food and litter. FINALLY a mission accomplished AND I got to use coupons so it didn’t cost me much at all. We also loved on every kitty that was up for adoption. I let all my anxiety and stress leave me, as I loved those babies. So we got something done!! By this time we were hungry so we went home for food.
After a nice little lunch we headed back to the library. I picked up quite a few books on web pages and debt reduction. My child picked out about 20 books. Ya know, I love the library. You can get movies, computer games, books, and magazines all for FREE! If you haven’t visited your local library lately, do it!
By the time we got home it was almost 5 PM. Damn the day was almost over. My daughter wanted to show the kids across the street a video so she went over while I headed off to the store. I wasn’t going for much and they are celebrating their grand opening. Lots of really great deals and a $10.00 off coupon. Oh and a freebie Starbucks coupon. They have a Starbucks in the store but I refuse to indulge because it’s so costly. BUT with a free coupon, I was in hog heaven. I had a Mocha Latte that rocked my world. YUMMY!
I finally got home. I still feel like I didn’t get much done today. I am exhausted. I think it is the heat.
I needed to wash clothes for work tomorrow but I can wrangle something up. The important thing is I have clean underwear.
So I had 2 happy moments today. The first was holding those precious kitties and letting go of all my “stuff”. The second was going to the grocery store, having a free latte and doing it without my child in tow.
Hmmm…how was your day?
Oh and have no fear, I've got enough medication to last me til next week.
