I am not feeling so hot today. And I had such high hopes that today was going to be perfect. The weather is cool and crisp (for a couple days anyway). Starbucks brought back their Pumpkin Spice for the season so I stopped in for a Pumpkin Spice Chai (and a slice of pumpkin loaf, just to round things out). I even pulled out one of my new maternity cable knit sweaters. You know how I loves me some sweaters! All this can only mean that fall is just around the corner.

But all things wonderful stopped right there. Firstly, I didn’t sleep very well last night. I went to bed a little early because I was exhausted yesterday, only to find myself wide-awake at 4am. Thank you so much, pregnancy related insomnia! I finally managed to drift back to sleep around 5am and grab another hour of precious sleep before my puppies reminded me they were starving. But I didn’t mind being woken up because I was having a very disturbing dream that several guys I went to high school with were trying to shoot me in some gang related misunderstanding. Nice.

So I dragged myself out of bed, fed the pups and got in the shower only to realize my throat was killing me. Apparently my nose was really stuffed up yesterday/last night and the post-nasal drip had finally caught up with me. Urgh. Then I was just sitting here at work, sipping my Throat Comfort tea, when I suddenly got really hot and a little light headed. Damn it. I really don’t want to get sick. There is nothing worse than getting sick and not being able to take anything to make you feel better.

Top all of this off with the fact that my husband is all the way over in New York City right now (until very, VERY early in the morning on Saturday, no less), and I have a snowball effect of bummers. So very blech. That is all.
