Without these babies staying with me while I work, I’m sure I won’t survive. It’s getting harder to focus on work but I’m pushing through. I even put on some Valentine’s Nails for the Galentine’s party.
Mallory and I signed up to donate Friday morning. To prep, I had a big thick steak for dinner and some delicious Los Balito’s tacos in the morning. They decided to get me to donate platelets and plasmas. Mallory came later and per usual, was done before me! When we took our picture, I was already not feeling well and when she left, I had only 10 minutes on the screen and was feeling even worse. They put some ice packs on me and I was able to finish. That was the first time I ever felt that way and glad I didn’t pass out. How embarrassing would that have been?
That night, I went to Starbucks, Pet Supplies, and Walgreens before meeting Ozzie downtown at Abu Omar Halal. We grabbed dinner to go and went to Buffalo Bayou Park to walk around and eat our shawarma burritos. I was still very dizzy from the morning’s fiasco and by the time I got home, I was a little out of it.
Saturday morning, I went and took Dad to get his Covid shot at the Smart Financial Center. It was actually quicker than I thought and it was nice not having to get out of the car. I was so nauseous and by the time we got home, I slept for a good three hours. That donation really took me for a loop.
Later that night, I went to Mallory’s where we had some yummy Marco’s Pizza before heading over to MacKenzie’s for Galentine’s. It was nice to be around women and talk about random things. We did a white elephant type game and had snacks. I was also able to get my Girl Scout cookie’s from Mallory. Whoo! I am sad they did away the Thanks-A-Lots.
This morning was super busy. I was out of the house by 8am running errands and when I got back, I gave Rizzo a haircut and then June and I took Rocky and Rizzo on our daily walk.
Emmy was not happy we didn’t “wait for her”. She kept telling us to go home and wait until tomorrow when she came over. (She wasn’t coming by the way,) And when I got home, I told her and she was happy because I also took off my cap which meant, I was home. Oh to be a kid.
I finished Sissy and BIL’s family’s puzzle and started a new one. Mallory gave me three of them to do so I’m excited!
I’m currently watching the Superbowl. We enjoyed some blue crabs, shrimp and wings along with the game.
The cousin group decided to do a bet. No buy in as Kiran is willing to throw down $25 Southwest Airline Gift Card to the winner. I’m not sure what I betted on but it’s nice to do something together even though we’re apart.
