Tetanus

I am blogging from my parents house today so there will be no pictures included in this blog. My weekend was a smashing good time. Friday night was just Jenster, Ando and I. We headed downtown to Nicholson's for dinner. They have a small outside dining area, which we sat at, and Kentucky Bourbon Ale on tap. Dinner was very good again, my second time there; I have liked what I got each time.

After dinner we headed down to the Gypsy Hut. None of us had been there in a long long time and the patio is now open since it is warm so why not check it out. Ando and I told Rando about the engagement and each received a hug from him. I also got a congrats from Pablo and a high five from Lambic. I didn't know so many people would be this happy for us.

While we were sitting outside, very uncrowded by the way, a dude came up and started talking to us about the band that was playing. He gave us some buttons and stickers trying to promote the band a little. He was obviously wasted and if you know us we aren't the little social butterflies that can talk to anyone. He finally left us alone, only to then come back a couple of minutes later. This time he just kept talking and talking and we couldn't get rid of him. I finally pawned him off on Matt Mallory, which I am guessing he wasn't too happy about. I kept looking over there and he wouldn't leave them alone either. He did say that he enjoyed meeting us when we were leaving though; what a nice guy.

I got to work a girls lacrosse game Saturday morning/early afternoon. Girls lacrosse boggles my mind because you aren't allowed to touch each other. If you do it is a foul and play stops. Needless to say play stops a whole lot in girls lacrosse. And of course the game went into overtime just for my enjoyment. Luckily overtime is sudden death and Lakota scored right away.

After my work filled morning I came home to Ando ripping down our porch ceiling. I know you can't believe that after 2 years of a broken porch swing and ceiling it finally came down to be repaired. Hopefully it won't take another 2 years to put back up. While Ando was ripping down the porch I decided our newly planted tree needed some watering, it was looking a bit droopy. While I was putting the hose by the tree I stepped on a rusty nail from the porch. It went through my shoe, sock and skin for a nice bleed. I have no idea when my last tetanus shot was so I called my doctor friends for their advice on whether I should go that day to get the shot or if I could wait till Monday. I got 2 go get the shot nows and 2 wait till Monday's. I didn't know which advice to take so I looked up how much it would be to go to Urgent Care right away. The price turned out to be the same as a doctor's visit so I went and spent way longer than I needed to in the Urgent Care.

All I needed was a Tetanus shot, which I told them and she said it would be $50. I didn't think it would be that much, but then she said if I saw the doctor and didn't just get the shot it would only be $20. So I saw the doctor, completely unnecessary, but in some twisted health care way cheaper. I am now vaccinated for 5 years, and this is going to be my documentation of when I got my last tetanus shot so I won't forget. Bring on all the rusty nails I can handle! (Real nails not the drink)

After that fiasco Jenster, Teed and Mo came to our house for a grill out and some drinking on the front porch. I haven't had the opportunity to do this yet and needed a little relaxation after a nail went into my foot. Dinner and convo was good and after everyone left I watched the end of the Reds game on the tube.

Sunday was such a busy day for me that I'm going to write about it in a separate blog for all of you. Hopefully tomorrow and I can even include some pictures.

Ando and I's fight: What day should we get married?
