Last week

I was sick most alll of last week only worked 2 days. I don't have any idea what was wrong. I just felt so tired I could barely walk through the house. Didn't want to eat much either. Slept a lot. After the 1st 2 days I could feel myself starting to feel some better, but still very tired. I decided I need to start taking better care of myself, including eating more especially fruits and veggies, take my vitamins daily (including potassium last week I was wondering if it was low so I ate bananas and drank gatorade.) I know I need to get more sleep. I don't understand why I don't want to go to sleep each night. I think if I would just turn out the light I could go to sleep but I read and work puzzles until I fall asleep with a book in my hand something I have never done before. I also need to get more excerise. Saturday I thought I felt well enough to walk to a bunch of yard sales, but after 2 blocks I was already realizing I still was not 100%. Since I wanted to also get a few things from the store I just walked over there while I still felt like doing it. I picked up some ham and fresh collard greens to cook for dinner. I know all greens have lots of potassium and iron too I believe. I cleaned the greens put them on to cook rested a few minutes and walked back to the 1st yard sale. I bought 2 canisters of Avon foot powder for .25 each. That was a good deal since that is the one I buy from Avon. A box of 7 diffrent votive candles for $1.75 another good buy. A little copper jack o lantern candle holder for .25 I think a couple of other things but can't think right now what it was. She had this little heart shaped tin with roses on it that I wanted, I thought I could put a Christmas present for Treva in it and then she would have the tin for her bedroom but she was asking .50 and I asked if she would sale it for .25 and she said no. So I left it.They had an almost new electric lawn mower that they would have taken $55. for I told Gail becsuse she had been looking for a cheap mower but she said since summer was almost over she would just wait and try to find something next spring. She has used Lawrence's weed eater to "mow" all summer except for 2 times that she paid a neighbor to do it. There was a lot of Pampered Chef stuff at the yard sale for 1/2 price which may have been a good bargain for those that use it.

Today is the first day of the new school year. Mikael was excited about going back especially now that she has so many new clothes. I think she finally settled on a black skirt, black tank top and a white shrug to wear today. She was having a problem deciding what shoes to wear with it. Her Aunt Nasha took her Saturday to finish up on buying all of her supplies, except a binder that she couldn't find one she wanted. Gail took her to Rite Aid yesterday to get it.
