Some days you should have stayed home... in Another Open Diary refugee

What we planned for today - go to work with John, sit in the car and read on my kindle while he did two SHORT calls, then go to Target to pick up a storage rack, then go to the gym for my exercise and finish the afternoon with a nice early Valentine’s Day dinner at Chillis and come home to watch a movie together… what actually happened? We didn’t get out the door till lunchtime and the moment we left the driveway he got an urgent call that had to be attended to immediately, and it took hours, so by the time he was finished the second I was getting a pretty good migraine going because I hadn’t eaten since breakfast, and hoping that my ginger candy would be enough to keep motion sickness at bay. We did make it to Target but the rack was entirely sold out in all stores so that was a wasted trip… and by the time we got home the last thing I wanted to do was to either exercise OR go out to eat. Went to Publix and bought a couple of deluxe frozen pizzas and came home and had pizza for dinner, after I downed a can of gingerale to kill the nausea from the headache. We’ll go to the gym tomorrow and out to eat on Sunday (you couldn’t pay me to go to a restaurant on a ‘special holiday’ - I don’t want to have to battle the crowds just to get a table…) but I think it’s fair to say that today SUCKED… (oh, John did buy me a nice present today - a cute furry tiger, but when I was cuddling it in the car it smelled funny and it was making my headache much worse… I think I have to air it out for a few weeks before I put it in the bedroom.)

Tuesday he has to go up to Melbourne and he’s asked me if I’ll go with him because it’s a couple of hours drive each way… normally I’d say of course, but after today I have to think about it! I don’t know whether I’ll be up for the trip or not… (especially since Friday we’re going up to Orlando after John finishes work… he thought Presidents Day was NEXT weekend and said he’d go work on our BIL’s computer.)
