What a Day

I had the joy of spending the day with one of my best friends, my mom. Ill admit I originally planned just a short quick trip to get some stuff, and a girls lunch. However, it turned into a lovely day of shopping and chatting. Ill admit I did push myself a little too far, ok way past my limit.  Hey, I was having fun. As soon as I got home I napped for a bit, but now the insomnia is BAAACCCEKKK.. Ugh. So here I sit.

I did learn a few things today. Im scary awesome on a scooter/ hover round thing at Target. That and there is about a 2 hour battery life on one of those bad boys. :) Those things are a life saver to getting around. I did manage to not hit anything, but there was a lot of me telling people 'sorry!'. I luckily didnt hit anyone or take any displays out. Although I was very very close. Without the scooter I wouldnt have been able to make the trip.

The curse of Target was upon me thought. Go in needing/wanting a couple things and out with a carful! My big dissapointment was that they were sold out of my new found favorite Pumpkin M&M's. Apperently the ONLY place you can find tham is Target, and my target is COMPlETLY out. UGH. Im going to totally stock up as soon as they get more. They had better be prepared this time Dang it!

After that, we had a nice girls lunch. Im such a slow eater due to my throat I think the waitress thought I was nuts. I then managed to convince my mom to take me to a store without a power chair, or wheelchair. (remember not walking so well, sometimes cant walk much at all... and my wheelchair will be here any day now that we ordered) Ill admit that me walking around a store isnt the best ideas. I did get around well thanks to my aunts cane she brought over to let me borrow ( from when she had surgery). My point is I got out! I managed okay, with the help of my mom. I want to make sure to try to push myself. Mini workout. I cant just sit and wither away. If I can walk Im gonna walk. I found a new headscarf or two, and got some things to keep me busy while at home in my chair. All in all it was a good, fun, productive day.

Now I sit here tired, but cant sleep. Thank you meds. I never thought weaning off medication would cause me to not sleep. Granted my late afternoon nap likely didnt help. I dont care. It was totally worth hanging out with my mom today. Now to attempt sleep....good night all.
