We hit Costco and WalMart for our weekly stock up. Both were as crowed, noisy, and poorly stocked as they were pre-Christmas. It tooks us 3+ hours to wind our way through the crowds and make it home.
I am completely wiped out. My eyes hurt, my head aches, and my ears are tired from all the ambient noise. Chico did surprisingly well, and is currently chirping away, happily watching a video on his iPad.
My reward for today's sensory overload is that I am not leaving my house tomorrow. I may not even get out of my jammies. Q is unhappy about my plans, feeling that staying home is a torturous exercise. However, to him I say, "Pooh to you buddy, I've earned a day at home if I want it." Is it horrible that I'm secretly hoping he'll find some errand that will take him out of the house for several hours tomorrow? Sometimes I wish we'd bought a duplex and could trade off spending one day a week alone.
I'm going to use the remainder of my computer time today uploading this book to my iPod. JCB is a great writer, her narration of audio books is some of my favorite noise-cancelling therapy.
