It is Christmas time

Well tis the season. I'm never sure what to do during the holidays. I usually work retail so I stay incredibily busy, but this year I'm home with kids and I haven't done a thing to get ready except shop of course. It is the one time of year I can shop without listening to my husband grumble and then sometimes he still does.

Right now I sound like I swallowed a frog. I have been hoarse now for almost four weeks. Everytime I open my mouth to speak to people they look at me like I'm contagious. I have to assure them I'm not. I do have bronchitis though, but I'm almost over it and feel pretty good. Of course, anti-depressants will do that for you. I was planning to write about ADHD and got sidetracked, surprise!

Well here is the ADHD part normally I don't really like shopping because the enviroments are too busy and I go into overload. I particularly dislike big discount stores because there is more stuff than I can look at and I have difficulty concentrating to find what I need. I have reached the point where I know what I want and exactly where it is and I go get it. Malls do that to me too but you have to browse there so today I took meds and hit the mall. It was a new thing for me I wandered around and took in displays and actually enjoyed myself. I know that may sound strange since I worked in the retail business as long as I did, but when you are in a store and don't wander around it feels safe and secure. The other thing is that when I would venture out to get something from the food court I would walk around with blinders on. Someone would see me and practically have to wave their arms in my face to get my attention. I'm enjoying the Christmas Season and intend to keep it relaxed this year. Gotta go put up the light up polar bear.

So glad your meds are helping! Triaminic vapor patch, Johnson's vapor bath - not curative, but will soothe the throat. Love 'em.

Love you!
