Running the Gauntlet

Yesterday I ran the gauntlet. I don't mean this literally. Actually, I didn't do any running. I went to 3 different Thanksgivings. Yes you read that correctly, 3! First was my boyfriends moms where I actually ate food and where we stayed the longest. Next was my grandparents place where the food from place 1 caught up with me and I didn't feel so good. Needless to say, I didn't have anything to eat for the rest of the day. I guess that is a good thing. After about 2 hours there we went to the boy's dads get together and lasted about an hour before we were both ready to pass out. I started feeling sick yesterday with  a head cold. Then as the day went on it got worse and worse. We picked up some NyQuil on the way home, took some and before you knew it I was passed out. I slept from about 8 til 7 this morning. Man am I ever glad someone invented this drug. Feeling sick is not how I wanted to spend my 4 day vacation, but I guess it beats being sick at work.

Now lets talk about the weather. Only in Wisconsin can it be 65 degrees on Thanksgiving and 18 degrees the next day and snow flurrying. It's way too cold out to do anything outside, which is a good thing because I don't think I'd feel to good doing it. I'm also not a black Friday shopper so I'm avoiding all shopping centers as much as possible. The boy is currently playing video games and I've been "working" at Starbucks. I did a little bit of lesson planning, but mainly I've been job searching and wasting time on pinterest. I'm about to head back, but I figured I would write you all with my brief story of yesterday.

What did you all do on turkey day?


Peace&Love
