Spending the Weekend

 I love spending the weekend with my husband, absolutely love it! Don't exactly love the sick part, though.

I went in Friday for my shift. Friday was originally a day off, and I was scheduled Saturday. However, they changed the schedule for me to work Friday and get Saturday off. I was okay with that! Weekend off is always good. However, I had been feeling sick on Thursday, but thought it was a small thing that would pass. My plan was to rest Friday, my day off, and hopefully get better. When Friday rolled around, I wasn't feeling better, I was feeling much worse! I dragged through a bit, forgetting things, and not really being "all there". Finally my lead asked if I was feeling alright, and I admitted I wasn't feeling too well. So, the manager of the store checked the schedule, and told me I could head home as soon as a new person came in. 3 1/2 hours into my shift, I was on my way home. I rested a bit, and Gary came home from work. He crashed on the couch and complained about not feeling well himself.

We slept in Saturday morning, and both felt okay. After hot showers, we were ready for the day. We wanted to be lazy and get more rest, but we had errands to run and places to go. We stopped at Big Lots first (I love Big Lots), got a few things, then headed over to Walmart to get a few more things. Gary wanted to BBQ that day, so we were looking for some meat to grill. We couldn't find anything at Walmart. Gary mentioned he wanted a bigger slab of meat and more choices. We had been discussing checking out Costco for awhile now, since neither of us had been there nor had a membership there before. We decided to check it out. I normally shop in staples anyway, and I'm always buying a month's supply of groceries...so we knew it wouldn't hurt to see what Costco was like. We did have a Sam's Club membership for a couple of years, but it recently expired and we never had the desire nor need to renew it.

Anyway, we stopped at Costco, in Canyon Country, and man was it BUSY! There were lots of people there, and I thought aloud, "Boy I hope it's not always this crazy!" Anyway, we strolled through, and did some price comparisons. It was "okay", but not dramatically different. However, when Gary and I made a stop at the allergy pill section, it all changed. We realized that just by buying allergy pills at Costco, we'd be saving about $160/year. Completely worth a membership. So, we bought a membership, did a little shopping, then came home and grilled up a lot of chicken. We were also told by a manager that Costco was only this crazy on Saturday afternoons/evenings and on Sundays. Other times it wasn't that bad. Whew. Me + large crowd = can't breathe.

We finished our Saturday watching some scary movies, then went to bed. Because we should have rested more on Saturday, we both had a rough night last night. I woke up with a massive headache; it's been ages since I've woken up with a headache. Let's just say I felt like crap. I heard Gary moaning himself as he dragged himself out of bed and rushed to the restroom. So, we found subs for nursery and have been home resting; this way we can be more prepared for the week ahead. I'm also excited for the 2 1/2 hour series finale of Lost tonight!! It better be a good ending.

Anyway, better wake Gary up from nap time, which I just came out of. Naps are amazing.

Bye!
