My dollar sundae!

I was extremely close to missing my writing tonight. Not that anyone really reads these posts. They are mostly for me. I’m just tracking my personal realizations for awhile to make sure I’m staying focused on living the happiest life possible. And sometimes reading what I wrote helps me see myself clearer… like looking in a mirror.

Anyway, I almost didn’t write a post today. I’m still very tired. But that wouldn’t really have stopped me. I almost didn’t write because I got sick this evening. I don’t usually eat dinner. Living alone, I just pick at whatever I have around the house, or maybe eat a snack at the most. But since my uncle is staying with me I needed to get something for dinner. I had some food left over from Sunday’s party. I’m not sure that it was bad because my uncle is just fine. But I started feeling very uncomfortable soon after I ate. I was thinking that I just over-ate or that maybe because as I was warming up the food, I was snacking on brownies, and that is what was causing my stomach ache. I don’t really know.

But the feeling was getting worse and worse by the moment. I started feeling as though I was going to vomit. And I am an anti-vomit person!! I will do anything I can to avoid that action from taking place. The feeling in my stomach was just getting worse though, and finally I knew I had no choice…

Well, I did what I had to do. Afterwards, I stretched out on my couch quietly moaning from my experience and from the still lingering upset feelings. Yuuuucky. Then, slowly over the last hour or two I started beginning to feel like myself again.

And then even better!

So what suddenly comes to me? I want a hot fudge sundae from McDonalds! I ask my uncle if he wants one and so we get into my car, me in my ponytail, shorts and flip-flops, and he in his pj’s : ) and we hit the drive-thru at McDonalds. I get my dollar hot fudge sundae and he gets a small vanilla shake.

Well, I just finished mine and I feel amazing again!

Sooo, that’s it. I just found something to be very excited and grateful about tonight. Yes, there are many usual things to be happy about, but I found my unique one for the day. Thank goodness for McDonald drive-thru’s and for dollar hot fudge sundaes! I will fall sleep feeling very happy tonight : )
