Try Again

Definitely better today. I went to work, knowing it's a short day and I should be able to make it to the 3:30 close time. I piddled around in my office, sorting through papers, filing stuff, still throwing away the non necessary. I am getting closer to where I would like to be. I do have a folder of projects I will pick away at all summer. I am sure I can get some of them done.

At 4 I stopped by the apartment to pick up Drew. We planned to pick up a few things at Wegmans, then get Kiel from work. I had been feeling OK all day. No pain, no aches, no soreness, no headache. I didn't want to press my luck, so I figured at the first sign of trouble I would pack it in and sit out the rest of the dance.

Only one problem. There was no first sign. Nothing. We entered Wegmans, I grabbed a cart, and Wham! out of nowhere it was as if someone had pulled my plug and left me totally without power. I leaned over the cart and just stood still, catching my breath. I couldn't do it. I knew I was sunk. I directed Drew to grab the few things I knew we had to have and waited for him to bring them to me.

I wasn't sure I could even make it to the car let alone drive clear to Roberts to get Kiel. I might have to go home and call him and see if someone else could bring him home. Drew pressed his issue - if only he had his permit, he could drive and I could just rest in the car. Yeah, right. Fat chance. Anyway, it wouldn't help the immediate situation. We checked out and somehow I got to the car. I just sat - well, laid - in the front seat while Drew put the groceries in the trunk.

After a few minutes, the feeling passed. Though I didn't regain my full strength, it was enough to drive to Roberts where Kiel took over. I went home, sat in the blue recliner and SLEPT! All night. Not sure what the boys did, but I finally packed it and lay down on my bed. I am sure things will be better tomorrow. Good thing its a holiday weekend.
