Fall, Rain and Back Pain

I have been feeling a little yucky today. I got the girls off to school and came home and laid on the heating pad for a bit. My back felt as if someone grabbed my shoulders and crammed them into each other. I ended up falling back to sleep on the couch for a few hours. I hate when I do that because it takes me even longer to get it going.

I ended up pulling out my fall decorations, sorting through them and deciding which ones I want to use this year. I had a large piece of autumn inspired fabric that I sewed into a shower curtain by hand. It actually turned out pretty good despite my lack of sewing skills. I need to make a trip sometime this week to pick up some foliage. In the spirit of fall, I prepared a mini-Thanksgiving feast. Which was absolutely delicious so I ended up eating more than I should have resulting in a food coma. My chest and stomach started hurting and ended up falling asleep again! Apparently, I must have needed it. Luckily, my fabulous husband tended to the girls. Since I woke up, I swear I have been popping Rolaids and Ibuprofen like M&Ms! It finally stopped bothering me just a while ago. Thank God!

It has been raining so much. Nearly four inches came down yesterday and we have a chance of rain for the next ten days. This really puts a damper on my porch painting plan! Danielle was here for the weekend and when we attempted to take her back to campus last night it was pouring so hard that we made it two exits down I-65 and decided it would be better not to risk it as it was much worse in Indiana. My anxiety was so high and the hydroplaning did not help matters. Danielle missed her first day of classes today. Not good. This may be a good lesson that she should try to stay on campus some weekends.

Because I slept most of the day away, I don't feel like I was nearly as productive as I needed to be. It so bums me out. I have to look forward to a long day of catch up tomorrow. Aces!
