Road trip today...06/22/13

 
Well I made it to my meeting this today that is a good hour one way from where I live. The good part was that my loving husband drove me down along with granddaughter.
I started to feel a panic/anxiety attack starting to come on so I took my medicine right away. That helped me get through our meeting in good shape. Luckily, I get to sit kind of away from everyone so no one was just right up on top of me. ( I suspect some claustrophobia kicked in on Monday night at the dinner meeting we attended.)
The meeting ran very long today since we had all the news from the recent Convention that was held in Texas along with some basic housekeeping chores at the local level. Usually our meetings are over in 2 hours but this one took closer to 3.5 hours which included a 15 minute break part way through things.
Everyone was glad to see me there today since they knew I had been in the hospital for a week. It was good to see everyone and for us to be able to hold a meeting with enough ladies present!!
I received my good package from Texas today. It was a colorful Texas tote filled with goodies...... plus a friend got me a shirt  and an ID wallet.  I also received the cookbook I had ordered from our organization. WOW..is it a thick one too! So lots of good things to look out and enjoy this afternoon.
By the time we got finished and out of the meeting and all the way back down and out to the parking lot, I felt like I had been run over by a semi! We meet on the 6th floor of the building but thankfully there is an elevator for us to use. 
Once I was back in the vehicle all I could think of was a nice cold drink and something to eat. So we went and grabbed something to eat. By the time we were finished, I was so tired and sore all I wanted to do was go home. I needed to do a couple of errands but decided to do them another day as I was just wiped out.
We did stop and get gas and picked up a few groceries only because the store had a motorized scooter I could use. Even that was rather trying to a point for me.
We finally got home about 5 pm after having left the house at 8:30 am. So it was a long hot day for all of us! The wind was really blowing but the temperatures were up into the 90's today with some humidity. Even if I had been feeling well, the wind & heat would have worn me down some.
Seriously thinking about turning in but son just came through and ran his mouth, so husband is on the rampage again. Like I told husband, somethings you just need to let go and forget them and not hold on to every comment son makes. Too bad the two of them can't grow up and get along for a change. Oh well...looks like my recliner has my name on it again tonight.
