Mind over Matter

Today is the first day that I did not go in to work because of feeling tired. I spent the entire day yesterday (New Year's Day) sleeping/napping on the couch. I was supposed to go out to lunch with MFS and run an errand at PetsMart (big bag of dog food for Mr. Whacko). By the time I got out of the shower I was too tired to go anywhere but back on the couch. MFS ended up getting take-out from Olive Garden and going to PetsMart by himself.

Today when I got up, I just could not make myself get going. I'm the kind of person who normally jumps out of bed and is raring to go. I'm a morning person. I kept thinking that if I was this tired, my immune system must be shutting down. So many people at work are coughing and sneezing and sick, I just didn't want to chance it.

I didn't do anything today but nap off and on. I need to do what the nurse said. She said if you lay around you'll feel worse. I need to keep active. After eating dinner, I did the dishes and felt okay.

Tomorrow morning, BDHA and I are going to drive to Monroeville to visit Cammuso's Hair Salon to check out their selection of wigs. I found a hair on my brush this morning that had the follicle still attached. My hair is also drying out. He keeps telling me to get more than one wig. He really wants one that look's like Dorothy Hamill's wedge cut from the 70's. I used to have my hair cut like hers while in college. He had a crush on her. I don't think I'm ready to go that short again.

I was supposed to fly to Philly tomorrow with BDHA and come home on Sunday. He would continue on with his trip. I've decided that going on an airplane would not be the best thing for me right now. You hear about airplanes being full of sick air.

We're watching "Lars and the Real Girl" right now. It's pretty funny. I recommend it. I'll post tomorrow and let you know how the wig hunt went.
