My Single Mom Life

I'm telling ya', they should just hire me to forecast the weather.
I was fine this morning, slightly stiff upon waking, then I walked to the store and it was bright, warm, and sunny, and when I got home and sat for a bit, I started to get the icy rods chill effect in my back.
I'm absolutely freezing to death, and it's not cold in here at all.
This tells me that cold and rainy weather is on the way, and wouldn't you know it, it is according to the local weather people who just sent me this email;
Skies will continue to clear from north to south as a cold front stalls to our south. A few stray rain showers are possible tonight, especially for southern locations. Drier air will help temperatures cool into the middle 40s north of the Bay, low 50s inland, and middle 50s along the coast.

This chill effect has also caused my muscles to stiffen up even more than they were upon waking, so I took a soma.
I know, not a smart move because it's early, and they put me to sleep.
But I'm attempting to bypass it by ingesting large amounts of caffeine.
I'm hoping this will work, or else I'll just be passed out and when I wake, I'll be peeing like a racehorse on lacex.
I'm sure if I kept taking the somas as the doc ordered, I'd build up a tolerance to it and not fall asleep anymore, but 2 of them 3 times a day? I'll be just sleeping straight through until I build up that tolerance.
That's no fun.
But seriously, the chill effect plus the tightening effect, is no fun.
All I want to do is curl up in a blanket and use my heating pad to attempt to warm up, but I know that won't work.
The cold rod feeling does not go away until the bad weather passes.
But I can curl up with a blanket later on and watch Beowulf .
I've heard it's good, long, but good, so I'll watch it.
If it's boring, the somas will win out and I'll be sleeping halfway through the movie.

I've been wearing flip flops for months now, well more like almost every day for almost a year, and I've been wanting to get some new shoes, but I can't find anything I like.
I'm very picky about shoes.
No, I'm not one of those women who has to have Jimmy Chus or whatever they are called, but I like some nice comfy and good looking shoes.
I spent some time today looking at Naot shoes, and saw a few pair that I liked, but Id need to try them on first before buying them.
I'm gonna have to see if there are any local retailers so I can try them on.
