THURSDAY

I can't believe how fast this week went. I'm staring at my calendar and it's amazing how fast time passes by- It's already October 21st, Where did my October go? I feel like I need to slow down. I hate it when a whole week passes by and I can't catch up with any of my friends or family, then again- they too are running around crazy so I do feel a little less bad. Maybe I feel this way because yesterday it got me! I got sick and I felt terrible! Inside and out.
I couldn't even wear my happy lip gloss yesterday because I was truly, deep down inside, was not feeling the usual happiness that I feel everyday. I hate being sick.
Any who, I gave myself until this afternoon to get better. I looked at my cough medicine this morning and said,

listen...we are a team here. I haven't been this excited to go out in a very long time. This weekend is special, so if you could please kick-in and help me out and get me nice and healthy by 7pm tonight- that would be amazing!

We will now see what happens.

Onto another note, besides being sick- I loooooveeeeeee walking in the morning and feeling the cold, crisp air pressing against my cheeks. I love New York City and the feeling I get every time I get up, get dressed, and head out. It's the most amazing routine. It's like, OH...WELL HELLO DAY!..I LIVE IN NEW YORK...!! IN MANHATTAN!! IN CHELSEA!! WITH MY BEST FRIEND!! AND WE HAVE A COFFEE MACHINE!!

Ah!

It's the little things in life

Tuesday

I think I'm getting sick. I know this weather and I know how I get with this weather, and I know what happens when this weather comes around, and I know what pharmacy I have to head over to when this weather is starting to beat me up. I know. Last winter in New York was....HA! A SHOCKER! I mean, I was warned before moving out here that the weather was cold, but let me tell you my friend....It was COLD! I had to buy coats, scarfs, jackets, gloves, snow boots, ear muffs ( Which I don't mind because I actually look cute in ear muffs) But, you know- It was a completely different wardrobe! The worst thing about winter is that you don't get to show off your outfits- all people see when you walk outside is your big huge coat covering you from head to toe! Fail! Anyway. I remember last winter so well because I was sick 90% of the time! And, I am getting sick now and I can't be sick because I have plans and people with plans can't get sick.

On another note, I am at work and counting on my Blood Orange Cinnamon Black Tea ( From The Republic Of Tea- to be exact) To keep me going through today. This tea is so special and comforting because it reminds me of my sister Evelyn. It was a Tuesday morning when I found this tea advertised in the newspaper and I called my sister right away and said,

Sissy...what are you doing for lunch? I want this Tea. Mind if we go? It's not an emergency or anything, but like...you know... I kinda have to have it!
Without hesitation- she picked me up, we had a lovely bonding time in the car, and we picked up my tea and now every time I have some of my special Tea, I think about my Sis and how she's always there to comfort me on my worst and best of days.
