OCTOBER WRAP UP

This will probably be quite a nonsensical update. I was blessed (sarcasm) with a migraine earlier. It's been months, maybe even over a year, since I've had one. I sincerely feel so sorry for people with chronic migraines. I swear I don't know how they function, because I certainly can't. Thank goodness we had nursing today. I took 2 Excedrin Migraine, went in my room with an ice pack on my neck, and slept it off. Headache is gone now, but there's a bit of a hangover effect, so I'm a little off tonight. I little more off than normal that is. I don't even care about the Colts game right now, so you know there's something not right with me.  

Ran my new dishwasher for the first time tonight. They disconnected the old one last Tuesday, leaving a metal coil hose thingy hanging out the cabinet and into the sink. So if I wanted hot water I had to get under the sink and turn on the main hot water knob and let it run from the hose hanging down in the sink. Totally ghetto. Finally on Friday I called and said look, either put in the dishwasher or hook my hot water up properly. They promised me by the end of the day it would be taken care of. It wasn't. But they did install the dishwasher yesterday. I was scared to run it, afraid they jacked it up and there would be suds running out into the living room. But it appears to be okay. So quiet!  

Our Halloween was super duper fun, although it made for a very tired Colby and mama. I found an extra costume in the back of Colby's closet. Yes, we are such Halloween freaks we have extra costumes just lying around. So Colby was a vampire, a mighty cute/scary/handsome vampire I might add, on Wednesday night. Took him to Bass Pro for trick or treating. It was packed! Colby's nurse was a great sport. She was more than willing to participate in the school's Halloween party. As you can see below, we made an awesome trio. Colby ended up winning best costume for the whole school! Well yeah, what other kid had 2 human props?! We didn't go out Halloween night, the weather was too crappy. All our Halloween decorations are on the table. Waiting for my dad to bring over the totes so I can pack them away. Time to move on to Thanksgiving plans now. NOT Christmas for shit's sake. It is NOT December, people. It's November, the month of Thanksgiving. I heard a radio station playing Christmas songs the other day and thought I was going to vomit.

I didn't get as much done around the apartment as I wanted over the weekend, but what else is new. Worked a half day at the hospital yesterday. Did manage to get the kitchen and bathroom clean. Really meant to spend time in my room today changing out summer/winter clothes, changing the bed, etc. But the headache squashed those plans. Guess I'll work on that tomorrow while Colby is at school.  

Okay, seriously, I have typed a zillion typos so far. Fingers and brain not working together. Brain is tired. Getting ready to tuck in Colby and go to bed. Tomorrow will be better, yes?
