Under the Weather

What a whirlwind weekend! I still feel like I need to recover from all the things Josh and I had going on over New Years. We had 3 days of family fun! It was a wonderful way to usher in the New Year. Unfortunately, I wasn’t fully recovered from the 3 crazy days of Christmas and now I find myself fighting some sort of cold.

Being “under the weather” is one of the worst things to have happen as an adult, in my opinion. When you are kid and get sick you get to lay around and get pampered all day until you are back on your feet. But as an adult, you still have to carry on with your life on some level.

Today, that meant going grocery shopping even though I would have much rather laid around because our cabinets and freezer are empty after the all the holiday festivities. It was definitely not the easiest task and I am so grateful for the list I had made ahead of time, otherwise I would have forgotten all of the things we needed.

On today’s grocery agenda was Aldi and Walmart. I love Adli. It impresses me every time that I am there how much stuff I am able to get without completely breaking the bank. Even when I play it fast and loose with the budget, I always wind up leaving the store at or below budget. Thankfully today was no exception. Shopping at Walmart for me is more of a necessity than a desire. The prices are decent and I am able to get things there that I can’t at Aldi.

Isn’t it interesting how I started this post discussing how crummy it is to be a sick adult and wound up telling you about my grocery shopping preferences? Anyways, I will bring this full circle.

As a kid, being sick meant that you could shirk your responsibilities (if you even had any), skip school, and have someone take care of you. As an adult, you have to pick your sick self up off the couch and drag through your “adult tasks.” I miss the days of being able to chuck it all in the effort to feel better…

Thankfully, my darling husband can pick up my slack this evening.
