Sorry I haven't updating or visiting in a while, it's been a pretty hectic week.
I may have tried to get out of my last sickness a little too soon because I'm STILL having some issues. I went to work all last week, but I had been BEAT when I got home. It probably didn't help that I returned to swim aerobics while I was still coughing a little, but I went anyway. I don't know what's going on with me, but I feel like a CRAP SANDWICH right now!
Saturday, I just didn't feel like myself. On Friday, I worked late - REAL late! Like until about 9:30p.m.trying to get this report out that was WAY overdue for Shelly. She even told me not to leave until it was done, but she didn't want me to stay past 5. I still wasn't done at 5 and i didn't want to hear her mouth on Monday, so I stayed.
When I left, Ray picked me up and we went over
Toni's house for drinks. I had fun, met some nice new people, but I can't seem t remember all of it, probably because of the red bull/gin mix in my system! I remember dancing and I vaguely remember a group hug, but that's all! But I do know we had a nice time!
Saturday, I woke up and I wasn't quite "hungover", but I knew something was wrong. I was coughing again and I couldn't open my eyes. I ended up just sucking it up and getting dressed and taking CC to the nail salon for a mani/pedi. We had to get ready for my little cousin Tony's sweet 16 party. His mom, Cindy, wanted Ray and I to help out and to kinda chaperone it. I kept saying I was going to be one of the bouncers! So CC and I spent some time at Annapolis Mall, buying clothes and she got him a gift (an Ed Hardy shirt - yeah, I have no idea what that means), and we headed home just in time to get dressed and head out.
I felt like CRAP and Ray continued to "FORCE" me to go. Maybe I need to explain that more since she gets a little upset when I say she FORCED me to do something. Ray has a way of making you feel like SHIT without even knowing it. She probably doesn't even know that's how she made me feel, but I know I told her I wasn't feeling well and that I was probably going to stay home, but she was picking me up and she just kept on insisting that I was coming "no matter what!"
So went, we ended up having a nice time. Toni's hubby was the DJ and he was doing an awesome job. At first I thought it was going to be easy helping out at this party, but these kids wouldn't dance or anything, it was like pulling TEETH to get them to get up and dance. Me, Ray, Toni and her daughters had to start dancing in order for them to participate and even when we literally PUSHED them on the dance floor they STILL just stood around! Cindy was having her own party at the bar next door, so periodically Ray and I went over there. But CC was stuck to me like WHITE ON RICE!! Understandably, she didn't really know anyone there, even though her brother and Doug and some of our other cousins were there, she totally CLUNG to me and it was starting to get annoying. Then Chloe showed up, she's Cindy's stepdaughter. She's a sweetie and it was sooo good to see her, CC ended up hanging out with her and I introduced Chloe to Toni's girls and they stayed together for a while. Thank GOD! I could finally get a drink!
The end of the party was a blower because the people that worked there was being real rude about forcing us out so that they could close it. It was kind of a buzz kill, but we still had fun. I was soooooo glad when I got home and was able to get in bed!
I felt HORRIBLE on Sunday morning and I STILL feel bad. I need to go to the dentist today, but I may cancel since I need to go to the doctor and figure out what's wrong with my throat. I also may have contracted "pink eye" somewhere along the way, so I need to get that checked out too. That would be a bummer because now if anyone else gets it, EVERYONE I came in contact with this weekend is going to blame it on me! I was in bed almost ALL DAY until I had to take Felicia's hair out and help Jason with the next steps on his science fair project. His project topic he picked is a little lame, but we're going to do the best we can to spice it up!
Today is Jason's birthday, so I'll probably have to make a trip to the school to bring in goodie bags or something for him. I don't know what I'm going to do yet, but I told him I would do something. Right now my throat is on FIRE and I can't swallow without some added effort. I'm about to get ready to go in to work to finish up my report. I'm supposed to be off today, but my dentist appointment is downtown, so I'm going in for a few hours.
I'll talk to you again soon!
