When the rest of the county went to the mall looking for bargains and returning gifts, we went for groceries. Smart & Final was pretty well deserted, which is why I figured it was safe to venture in there.
Got a package of hamburger, so I can make some casseroles, some chips and sparkling apple juice for New Year's, and did get some half-price Christmas candy. :)
Our New Year's party tends to begin early -- when it's midnight in London. Every hour on the hour, we toast again as CNN celebrates in another time zone. More often than not, we celebrate with my parents in NY (which is 9 PM here) and call it a day.
Having been out for a short time this afternoon, I came home and collapsed on the couch, then fell asleep. Woke up in such horrendous pain that I nearly passed out from it. Hours later, I'm still considering whether I have it in me to get up and reheat some leftovers for dinner, or if "dinner" is going to be a package of peanut butter crackers that I keep near the couch for the nights that I can't make it as far as the kitchen.
That's the reality of going shopping with CFS -- it takes a lot out of you and leaves you basically useless the rest of the day.
