Happy Halloween! So much for doing better at blogging, eh? To be fair, I've been dealing with some weirdness in my physical condition lately. Forties are a crazy age, folks. I'm prepared for more aches and pain being less tolerant of some foods. (Seriously, what is it with being obsessed with your gastrointestinal system in your 40's?!) But I began to get agitated and stressed over absolutely nothing, so I decided to talk to my doctor about during my annual physical. I won't bore you with the whole story, but he prescribed some meds, which I now realize I didn't need. I had a serious adverse reaction that took me three weeks to get over. Basically, it made me a crazy person. Try imagining every nerve in your body is ultra sensitive and rushes of adrenaline every 15 minutes. Seriously, there were times I was crawling out of my own skin. But I'm starting to feel normal again, thank God! And I'm very proud that except for a couple of things, I manage to continue to live my life normally, with the help of Mr. D and a lot of wine!
Speaking of, we went to wine country two weeks ago with friends. (See there? I'm kicking anxiety's butt!) Drank some really good wine and found a cool bar to hang out in that was walking distance from our rented house - SCORE!
Anyhoo, one of the joys that us child-free couples miss out on is taking kids around on Halloween. But then, I also don't have to pay their dental bills either, right? Hope everyone has a safe and fun time tonight. Might be concocting some witch's brew myself (insert cackle here). I will hopefully regale you with stories of our upcoming tailgating adventures. We are going to a football game (both home & away) for the next four weekends. God, give me strength and a strong liver.
