"Fun"
This weekend was not so great. C sliced his thumb open while installing the new water heater on Saturday. So, that meant ADRENALINE followed by running to the ER and then waiting for (three) hours until they could see him. Four stitches later, I demanded a gyro because the adrenaline reaction was setting in, and I was hungry and wanted something GOOD. C agreed (he likes Greek food, too) and we went to a local place with really good gyros. As it turns out, they also have a great cucumber and tomato salad. (They put a salty feta on it! It was SO GOOD.) Sadly, they were out of the rose-mint tea they sometimes serve.
Sunday, I was hurting. The adrenaline reaction meant my muscles were sore, and I think I got a little dehydrated because I had a bad headache all day. I drank a bunch of water, but it didn't help much. C called his brother for help and the two of them managed to get the hot water heater installed, though it took most of the day. So, I sucked it up and dyed my hair and showered and then ate a late dinner. And then something set off my body foo, because I started having the bad reaction I get sometimes. So I took my meds and crashed. Getting up today sucked. But I managed, got to work early, and then got most of my work done by noon. LOL. I am nothing if not efficient.
Also on the plus side, I'm off the next two days and thanks to the aforementioned efficiency, I've gotten all the work out of the way I HAD to do. I have a couple more things, but one of them has to wait until our contractor does the template, and the other... well, technically I could have done it today, but it requires a careful examination and I decided to wait until I had more brain. I put it on the schedule for Thursday morning. That way, I can do the careful work that I need to do once I'm awake enough.
Tomorrow, we go to C's follow up with the surgeon. He's doing great, his numbers are good, so we're expecting a clean bill of health. After, he promised to take me out to a nice sit-down dinner, and I am STUPID excited about it. There's a little Korean place near the hospital and I am looking forward to some bolgugi, galbi, or maybe bibimbap, or... heck, I have to admit just some kimchi rice would probably hit the spot. I miss good Korean food. There was a little hole in the wall in Tampa that taught me all about how delicious Korean food can be. So, yay Korean dinner-- complete with Korean blackberry wine, which... hot damn, it's so good. My favorite wine. I like it better than plum wine.
I might even dress up for dinner! I have a couple cute dresses, and C being cancer free is worth celebrating.
For now, I have homework. I'm going to try to get it done so I can really enjoy my days off.
