it was a late night

last night.  I'm not a big baseball fan like a lot of people but in the weeks before the hometown team is headed to the World Series, it comes out a little... maybe not so much the baseball fan but the Houston fan.  You can't grow up in Houston and not cheer on the Astros or Rockets (football is another story).  I never pay much attention to baseball.  The games are so long and there are so many of them but when the Astros were battling it out with the Yankees, I had to watch.  I asked Cosme when I realized it, "Wait.  You mean that the Astros will be going to the World Series if they beat the Yankees?"  That was my hook.  When they beat the Yankees and were playing the Dodgers in the end, definitely watching.  Cosme was dozing off last night and I'd wake him up with updates.  We were both up to watch them win.  It was pretty exciting and I was glad to watch the Astros beat the Dodgers.  I don't know much about baseball but I'm aware of how popular the Dodgers are and to watch Houston take them down, that was pretty cool.

I told Cosme we HAVE to go to the parade.  We got in the car at 11:30 and headed to Academy for shirts.  That place was PACKED.  11:30 at night and Academy's parking lot was full.  That side of the mall's parking lot was full.  People and cars were everywhere.  The line from Academy went out to the mall parking lot and curved around.  It was totally crazy.  I was ready to get in line but Cosme said there was no way he was doing it.  We headed home and he ordered us shirts online on the drive back.  The shirts probably won't be here in time for the parade but oh well.

When we got home, it was hard to wind down.  I put some lavender in the diffuser and hoped for the best.  I guess it worked because I don't remember passing out.  I do remember the first time the alarm went off.  It hurt.  I've been out of bed for a while and it still hurts.  Luckily, I turned on the news.  Part of 288 is down to one lane so we knew ahead of time that Cosme needed to find an alternate route.  It's going to be a rough morning and long day.  Thinking about it hurts as much as that alarm did.  I think I'll go add some peppermint to the diffuser and let it work its magic.
