Default how did your thanksgiving go... better/worse than expected

well I'm curious to hear from everyone. Tell me about your day

I started out making pie and cookies (after making breakfast for the kids). I wiped out..was so exhausted after lunch had to lay down from 1 to 2pm. I took a shower and got ready to go to my sister's house.

There were about 15 of us...(kids and adults...youngest being 10 yrs old...so no babies or toddlers running around anymore)

while at dinner, I started feeling the overwhelming feeling of everyone talking at once...it got louder and my head sort of felt dizzy. I had no problems understanding anything..nothing like that...just felt weird. I found myself just listening to everyone and not really chimming in with the conversations. I put my earplugs in as to tone it down.

I chose to stand at the sink and do the dishes for an hour...figured that was better than being in the mist of the commotion....and was helping my sister.

Left after a few hours...head didn't hurt as much as I expected, but I didn't feel right.

When we got home I wasn't tired, but felt wound up and knew I wouldn't get to sleep so I took half an ambien and called it a day.

Woke up a little more off balance, but no real head pain....thankfully.

Thinking back...last year was a disaster...felt awful for days after...had to wear sunglasses and had my father rubbing my neck and head! So, in the scheme of it...I may not feel right, but better than a year ago.
