Still Here

Well, it's been a relatively good day for starting out with a nauseous headache at 5.40 am.

After I woke up and did the bathroom thing, I found myself standing in the kitchen for several minutes trying to remember what I was supposed to be doing. That was my clue that I was not going to make it to school today. I called in sick and went back to bed, not even thinking first to take something for the headache that was eating my face, which I did when I woke up an hour later. And then I went back to sleep for another hour. Such was my morning. I did get up and have a cup of coffee in there somewhere, and put on clothes at some point.

By this time I was feeling human, if not well, and I went to the ATM and came home. Around 11, I decided to venture to the supermarket, which I managed despite playing the I'm hot! I'm cold! game the whole time. It was a beautiful day today, if it happened to be early June. Which it is not. So you never know what to wear these days.

But I did have some good fun today. First, I got most of my Disney packing done. I have a short list of what's left, but I've got most of it, as well as the stuff I need to mail down there a week before. And I love doing that, so that was good.

And there's a Project Runway marathon today, which I have on as background, since I'm not so much watching. It was a nice backdrop for a nap in the early afternoon.

I had a pedicure scheduled for this afternoon with my sister, which I went to even though I never put make-up on today and my hair is a wreck, but nobody cares there (except me, apparently.) The nice surprise was that Wonderful Niece was there as well, so we sat in the pedicure chairs side by side, all three of us, and that was delightful.

But here's the big news of the day, once in a lifetime news. A letter came in the mail from the bank, which always makes me nervous, but inside it was the statement that our mortgage is paid off! Wow! Now, it's not like I don't still owe tons of money other places, but a paid-off mortgage is a landmark, I think. All I have to do now is remember to pay the property taxes, which we always paid through the mortgage before. Yes, must make a big note.

And that was my sick day at home today. I have to go in tomorrow if I am bleeding from the eyes, and Monday more so, because it's a dreaded in-service day and I am one of the presenters. Ick.
