   I'm a-thinkin' you need a lot of hugs today, (((((((((((((((Zen))))))))))))))). Listen - I really don't understand how it got pounded into all of our brains that we are supposed to feel like going full speed ahead every day of our lives! That just is NOT realistic. We are complicated beings living in a complicated universe filled with billions and billions of variables at any given moment. There are times when you just need to cocoon - your body and/or your mind just isn't functioning well enough to do anything - so don't! Put on your comfies, pile all of the soft pillows and blankets on the bed or couch, put some safe snacks and tea (or whatever you prefer to drink) on the table, throw a movie you like into the DVD/VCR and just veg out - and stay there (if you possibly can) as long as it takes for you to feel better. Most of us here do not sleep well in the first place, so our brains/minds struggle to function anyway. So we probably require a little more veg-out time than those who sleep well regularly. This IS allowed. Give yourself permission to give yourself what you need when you need it.
As for the Thanksgiving flower arrangement - just send that person a quick little e-mail saying that you wanted to make certain that it arrived when it was supposed to be delivered. You will probably be able to tell from their response whether or not they truly appreciated it.
