The Stockings Will Be Stuffed

I went shopping tonight and began my "stocking stuffers". I'm still not QUITE finished, but I made a great start! I want this Christmas to be great for my little girl, because her birthday wasn't so fabulous. Next year, mark my words, will be the BEST birthday and Christmas of, what will be, her five years...because Mommy is going to start early and have all kinda of things bought for her before this time! I say that every year, but I'm really going to commit myself to it! My Christmases as a child were wonderful and I want my daughter to experience the same thing. I don't think it's too much to strive for.

Improvement

I'm feeling a little better today. I was able to sleep most of the night, which was good. Granted, I was sleeping while sitting up, but sleep is sleep, right? My throat still hurts, but most of that "gaggy" feeling is gone, which I'm a huge fan of!

My friend, Lydia, stopped by today on her way back to Shreveport. It was good to see her again. Other than that, nothing has really happened today. I did a little more of my laundry. I still have two loads I'll have to do tomorrow, but hey, I'll need something to do then, too.

Blah....

I'm sick. I feel like death. I have no symptoms that anyone else could tell. No fever or anything like that, but I just feel very tired and I feel like there's something stuck in my throat, threatening to gag me at any point. It makes me irritable and the fact that the cat won't quit climbing on me doesn't help. I just want to go back to bed!!
