Hard To Believe We're Rested
the owners of the firm where the adorable one works are highly religious folks and as such, give the employees good friday off. which i think is nice, even though we don't celebrate easter, cuz we're jewish and all. my point is, whether it's easter, passover, christmas, yom kippur, any day off, where you are paid, is a good thing. i took the day as vacation, since last year i took next to none, so i'm enjoying the surplus this year.
it was positively marvelous sleeping in on friday. in fact, i woke up early and then went back to sleep. ahhh. thankfully, i woke up in time for us to shower and have breakfast at our weekly spot. which was probably the most relaxing part of our day because it was go-go-go after that. we got the car washed and gassed up, and then headed out to grandview to mr. tires, a place that the adorable one had gotten tires years ago. luckily and because it was before the lunch rush, we drove up and there was no one else waiting to have their tires replaced.
i think it actually took longer to get to the place than it the time it took for them to put four new, cooper
from there, we went to the pharmacy to pick up my prescription, only to be told that my doctor has cut off refills until i make an appointment and see her. so i had to call and talk to her nurse, amy, who actually sqwauked at me for not being seen in over 1 1/2 years. who the fuck cares? why would i even 60,000-mile tires on the crv. and the funny thing is, the car needed new tires as the tread out the outside was pretty worn, but i could see that the adorable one was questioning his decision until he saw the new tires on and realized we made the right choice. and really the best part, beside the fact that it didn't cost us a fortune is that we easily had the cash (compared to a couple of years ago where it would have been a hardship) to pay for the tires. and i'm not saying that if we had to pay $500/tire it would have been okay, because it would have been a stressor, but thankfully, we bought tires that ran around $60/each. really the truth is, i would have paid any amount to ensure the safety of the adorable one.want to go to the doctor, who i do like, when i only see her for maybe ten minutes. seriously.
i think people like me should be rewarded for not being a drain on the healthcare industry. i mean other than the monthly prescriptions, i don't need anything. i just don't get it. okay, so now i'm stuck going to see my doctor this wednesday morning. thankfully, as work is relatively slow, this will not be a stressor.
alrighty, where was i? oh yay, we get back from the tire place and go to the library to pick up some movies to watch over the weekend. realizing we were hungry, we headed to our favorite sushi place for a relaxing late lunch. we were going to hit the grocery and gamestop after enjoying some spectacular squish, but we ran out of energy and opted to veg out for the remainder of the day. i took a nap while the adorable one did some surfing and telly watching.
got up and realized that one, i had a migraine, and two we needed to hit the grubstore, so we did that. the adorable one cooked up some store-bought ravioli and served it with a yummy butter sauce for supper, which was awesome. then we played scooby until we couldn't keep our eyes open--me because i had to take tylenol pm to get rid of the migraine.
slept in again on saturday, which felt so good. for as much as we did, we both felt relaxed and rested. as we were bumping up against 9:00 a.m., which is when our breakfast spot gets busy, we opted to just throw on shorts, tshirst and shoes. we think that everyone must still be adjusting to the time change, as we got a spot out front and were seated by the windows (primo location, other than actually sitting outdoors). after a tasty start to our day, we stopped at the house to get my car and as i had a free coupon for the amoco waterway, we got my car washed and vacuumed. as spongebob would say, "it shines!"
after we got home, we made a bunch of phone calls to order lisa lampanelli tickets, a place to get our mower tuned up, and a few other items. all i have left as far as calls is to cancel the subscription to the paper (we never have time to read it) and our telephone service. i cannot wait not to come home every day and delete the hang-up messages on our answering machine. yes, i know, i need more excitement in my life!
we decided to grab something for lunch, so the adorable one took me to werner's, a little german deli about ten minutes from our house. i had a grilled bratwurst, the adorable one had a polish sausage, and we split a knackwurst. so good! and we'll definitely have to go back as it was delicious.
and fortunately, the deli is right by a local hardware store, which we needed for to make a couple copies of a key. on our way home, we picked up fat tire for the adorable one, a bag of ice, and then went to the grocery store to get fresh mango and some frozen drinkie mixes, as well as tomatoes, a ball of fresh mozarella, and some chips for our dinner with matt and amy at their house.
we also checked out the gamestop by our house, hoping to pick up a used version of the ps2 scooby game, but of course, they didn't have any in stock. so we headed home to relax before heading out for the evening. had a great time, despite the weirdest weather ever, which was the story all day. it would look all ominous and gray like the sky was going open up and we would be buried in sheets of rain. but it never happened. we got mighty windgusts and some lightening, but that was it.
despite the wonky weather, we enjoyed a fabulous dinner of grilled burgers, a light salad of cucumber, red onion, and tomato, chips, and fresh tomatoes and mozarella with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, peper, and some other herbs. so good! the adorable one took the fuzzy navel drink mix, chopped up a mango, added ice cubes and blended it all together. it was divinity! and there wasn't a drop of alcohol in the mix and we didn't miss it.
got home around ten, watched a little telly and crashed. i had some weird/bad dreams, so got up around 5:30 a.m. and read for awhile. thankfully, i was still tired and slept some more. so, this morning, i did a little bill paying, de-cluttering, and some tidying up.
as we ran around so much the past couple of days and because the adorable one has to work on his research paper after mowing the yard (much to the relief of our yard-obsessed neighbors), we'll be hanging out at the house with the girls. which suits me just fine.
unfortunately, i have to face my mortal enemy, our fast-growing hedge that requires trimming like every few days. much like my nails. is there a correlation you ask? a government conspiracy? wouldn't surprise me people!
so, now that all my favorite cooking shows are over, i must go do battle with the evil hedge. luckily, for once, i'm all rested up and ready to face that bastard shubbery.
