I'm ready to go home

 I seem to only have the sniffles, sneezing, and coughing when I'm in this room.  We did eventually get out to the drugstore about 8AM yesterday - and I told hubby that I was just going to get an allergy med as I think that is all it is.  We left Walgreens and made a stop at Kohls for I wanted to pick up a birthday gift.  Got it, picked up hubby about 8 plain t-shirts and got a great deal.  There is an advantage to having a Kohls card.  I spent a total of $69.xx and by the time they gave me a 30%, a 25% and I think a 15% discount - 9-10 of those items cost me only $41.  I can handle that. I would love to go back today and see if that same sale is on and get those discounts again and get things for Christmas. See, that is really why I overspend at Christmas - when things are such a good deal, I can't pass them up!  I ended up paying $3.33 for each t-shirt I bought hubby after the discounts!  From Kohls we went to Hobby Lobby and they have Christmas items at 50% off!  I had a couple ideas for decorating our posts outside so picked up a few things.  I found a few more things I was considering, but hubby commented his legs were getting weak so we checked out and came back to the hotel, where we stayed the rest of the day.

I woke up about 3AM this morning with my left hip hurting.  Badly.  I sleep on the left side - or start that way - and I must not have moved an inch after I went to bed.  We even stayed up until nearly 10PM so that we could sleep a bit later this morning - but that didn't happen.  I finally got up at 4AM and laid on the couch, hoping I could go back to sleep - but could not.  Hubby got up and said he had been awake as well.  But my hip is hurting bad enough this morning I have taken two tylenol!!  You know I must be hurting to take something - but to take two of them - it is really hurting. And the only thing I can think of is sleeping on that side all night.  Sure hope that pain goes away soon. It doesn't affect my walking, but my hip and on down my thigh (no, it's not sciatic - the pain is on the side (hip) and down the front of my thigh).

We did get dressed about 5AM and made a run down to the lobby to get coffee. I grabbed two cups - and have drank both of them already.  I even did something I never do - or rarely do - I put hazelnut creamer in one, and vanilla creamer in another.  I am on vacation so I can treat myself right? LOL It was nice to have a flavor coffee as their coffee isn't as strong as the coffee we make at home.   We still have about 30-40 minutes before breakfast will be prepared downstairs.  I had brought some Belvita crackers and hubby and I have munched on them this morning - I could only eat 3 of the 4. I already feel stuffed.  But sausage and eggs will be good to tie me over until we get home.  We will possibly stop for lunch before we get home - and maybe I won't have to cook tonight either.  Will see. If I do - it will be light - or we will go out 'one last time of vacation'. HAH. We've only eaten out twice up here - lunch at DQ when we got into town and lunch yesterday at In and Out.  No dinner meals as neither of us (well, I wasn't) were that hungry.  I also bought cheezits yesterday at Walgreens so we have munched on those, and I brought a bag of grapes we have worked on.  We definitely haven't starved ourselves.

I am ready to go home and get back into my routine. I see Amazon delivered a package yesterday that should have been delivered today. And for some reason, they stood it up on the cabinet on the porch versus putting it where it can't be seen.  I expect it to still be there when we get home, as I don't see my neighbors as package pirates.  It's only a wagon anyway.  I have things I want to move from one area to another and they are too heavy to carry - and you know hubby cannot carry anything very fall without falling, no matter how much he wants to.  

Sigh.  It's 6:30AM and they don't serve the breakfast until 7AM.  Yesterday we went down about 6:50AM and they went ahead and opened the doors as it was ready.  No biggie.  Hubby is already telling me we should leave in about 10 minutes and head down there because they may open it early again.  Now he's angry at me because I told him just because they opened it ten minutes early yesterday doesn't mean they will open it ten minutes early today.  Oh my goodness.  This man and food!!  So he stormed into the bathroom making comments about (my comment) making a big deal of things.  He is afraid he won't have a place to sit if we wait to get down there.  Now mind you, there are plenty of places to sit - and it doesn't matter how many people 'rush' to eat breakfast at 7AM - we don't have to be the first ones like we were yesterday!!  It gets embarrassing at times.  I get it - he didn't have dinner last night so now he is really hungry and growling like a bad lion.  Sigh.

And since he wants to go down early, I need to get off here and get my shoes on and be ready to go when he is.  Sigh.  Got to keep him happy or life is unbearable.  

We'll watch Jentezen when we get back up as he comes on at 8AM this morning. That made hubby happy, knowing he can still watch Jentezen this morning. I brought my computer, after all.

So with that - and I'm whining and rambling so I'll close this off and get my shoes on.  Pray for us - travel mercies to get home safely.  Part of I-17 is one lane southbound.  Pray he doesn't get impatient or tired.  Until tomorrow -

Blessings!
