I don’t know if I’m sick or just still exhausted from my trip. I just don't feel my usual peppy self. As you know, I slept a LOT last night. When I finally got up I just watched TV, kept unpacking (no, I’m still not done) and worked on the computer.
I finally got out around 1:00pm and first headed to the post office. I picked up my 2-weeks of mail (mostly catalogs), stopped at STARBUCKS for an iced venti decaf non-fat mocha latte and then came back to the apartment, because I wanted to find my two paychecks in all that mail and deposit them. I walked to the bank with my little cart and after depositing my checks walked over to KEIL’S to do a food shopping.
I stocked up on veggies for salad and also to make a vegetable soup. They had a case of DIET LEMON SNAPPLE, so I got that and I also got some sushi. I’ve gotten sushi from them before and it’s always fresh and really good.
When I got back I unpacked all the groceries and heated up my leftover pizza. I had that with my iced latte while I read through all the mail. I got a few lovely cards from friends and have started to receive holiday cards already. I am decorating the top of my tv-less entertainment unit in the living room with all the cards I receive and it looks really pretty.
I paid all the bills I received in the past few weeks and answered some emails. Then, I got into bed, watched more of my recorded TV and read through all the catalogs. Nothing to buy, but I like looking anyway!
Finally, I took a nap and set the alarm to get up for yoga. I had every intention of going, even though I wasn’t feeling great, because I knew it would be good for me. Unfortunately, when the alarm went off, I realized there was no way I was going to drag my butt out of bed and drive to South Park. I just didn’t feel up to it. I am mad at myself, because I haven’t taken a yoga class since November 18th, but I’ll have to wait until next week.
I slept for another hour and then woke up at 7:30pm, because I knew if I kept sleeping I’d never get to sleep later on.
I had some hummus with baked chips and some sushi for dinner and then watched tonight’s episode of THE BIGGEST LOSER. Next week is the season finale and I will be at DANCING WITH THE STARS ON TOUR, so I will have to see who wins the next day. I also caught up with three episodes of DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES. It’s getting really tense. So much going on. Between Porter running off, Edie’s crazy husband, and the hint of a chance that Susan and Mike might get back together, I’m all in a tizzy!
Tomorrow I want to make my vegetable soup. I always enjoy it and it’s healthy and very filling. I’m making a big batch, so I can have it for at least a week and I can freeze some, too. I don’t know if I’ll be going back to work on the 15th, but – if I do – it will be good to bring to work for lunch. I can just heat it up in the microwave!
I talked to Eric three times today. I’m missing him so very much and I told him I really don’t want to be here anymore. It’s a combination of things going so well with him, and having such a great time, plus the fact that I’m not working, so I feel kind of aimless and lonely here. I really want to go back to NY ASAP, but I know it’s going to take time to get everything together.
Eric wants me to spend the winter here, and I really don’t want to go back and face the cold, but I really, really, want to be with Eric again and I think I could face anything to have him back in my life every single day.
