Shopping and Sickies

     The sickies have been going around the Pollock household. I blame Primary and all the little kids and germs and such. Or, I could've just caught it somewhere else. I was a little saddened too since I take lots of vitamins everyday so I didn't expect it to hit and still continue to linger. Hey, you can't stop everything.

    Anyway, yesterday morning around 4am, in a half-asleep daze, I called my work and told them I wasn't coming in. I barely remember the conversation and when I woke up later (like an hour later), I asked myself, "Did I just do that?". Haha, I was pretty out of it. Then I fell back to sleep. So I spent a lot of yesterday doing absolutely nothing but maybe play a few games and rest. Gary was kind of dragging around too but did go to work. However, he called out this morning.

  I feel a little better today, but not fully. I had a horrible night last night though. I remember at one point looking at the clock and thinking it was an amount of money instead of the time. For example, when I saw it was 2:50am I thought it was $2.50 and I was really confused on why money was on the wall. I realized after tossing and turning a bit longer it was actually the time. Lol. I kept switching sides of the bed but eventually fell back to sleep. Oh, silly sick Emilee.

 I work tonight but I'll just stick it out since it's only 4 hours and I have the day off tomorrow. Then I work 4 hours Friday and have the weekend off (yay!). My boss has been very good about rotating people in pet care when it comes to weekends off. This weekend is mine.

     Onto the shopping part. I bought some new shoes on Amazon since my other ones were just falling apart. They were arch support shoes, but when they started to give in, they were anything but and my feet were aching after work. That, and because I put my shoes on improperly, the back started digging into the back of my heels. I had no idea I caused that by putting my shoes on wrong. Gladly my husband reminded me, so I'll be nicer to my new shoes. They're from Saucony which are amazing shoes with the best support for not only high-arched feet, but plantar faciitis. Since our mail person is way lazy though, I had to wait longer to get them. She has a habit of leaving those "sorry we missed you" notices in our mailbox without walking the short distance to our front door and knocking, making us wait a day or more (depending on the day). Frustrating. I file a complaint every time it happens too, and they play dumb. Anyway, I picked up my shoes this morning, stopped by the bank to deposit money, and headed to Kohl's since I had a $10 gift card. I love Kohl's clearance! They're having a major clearance on jeans. I bought 2 pairs of $60 jeans for $10 each. Since they're adding in all the new Spring stuff, everything else is 50-85% off, including pants. So, in the end, I saved $111 by buying everything clearance.

   A couple of weeks ago I mentioned dropping 2 pant sizes. So, I decided to try one more pant size down and...they fit! Not just that specific brand or pair either. I grabbed more of that smaller size and they all fit nicely. Yeah! So 3 pant sizes I have dropped. I am excited. I'm not sure what it is (I have been adding more cardio to my days and exercising), but I think it may also be the kelp I've been taking. Since taking kelp for my thyroid, the weight has been melting off. Yippie! But I also take a multivitamin, extra vitamin D3, super B complex, and vitex chasteberry  (which has been "regulating" me). So who knows!

   Okay, time to take care of a sick husband, make some lunch and rest before work tonight. Bye!
