Sicky

Well it hasn't been over a week since my last post so hopefully this blog won't be quite as long. Since I left off on Friday I will start off with Saturday. I went to a bridal shower on Saturday for Ando's cousin. She is getting married on September 20th and it was time for the family shower. I wasn't sure if I was going to feel uncomfortable at one of Ando's family things without Ando, but it turned out to be just fine. I had enough people to talk to and there were no awkward games either. It was just some mingling, with alcohol of course, then lupper followed by presents. I realized I forgot to bring my camera about half way through present opening, sorry for that. 

That night Jenster, Ando and I went to the movies; we headed to Newport on the Levee to see Batman. It has been a long long time since I saw a movie in the theater. I think it was No Country for Old Men and just like Batman this time it was in a small theater. I don't understand why AMC keeps putting big movies in such small theaters. I know it is showing on a number of screens, but it is still too new and popular to put in a small theater. The show was packed in case you couldn't get that from my rant. Back to Batman.....It was good, but about a half hour or forty five minutes too long. There were a number of places they could have stopped and picked back up in the next movie, but of course didn't. I also didn't think Heath Ledger as The Joker was Oscar worthy. I thought he was good, but I am not sure it was Oscar good. I don't think people would be talking about him winning the Oscar if he was still alive; just my take.

On Sunday Jenster, Ando and I went to the Lebanon Bike Trail for a ride. We were all amazed at how crowded it was and how hard it was to find a parking space, but once you rode out a bit it wasn't as crowded. This was my first time on the bike path and I was amazed at how flat it was. Since it was so flat we ended up riding 12 miles out before turning around. If you add that up we ended up going on a 23 mile bike ride. I wasn't really mentally prepared for that, but amazingly I wasn't sore the next day. 

That evening Ando took me to his work party. I got to meet all of his co-workers and their significant others. It was a little strange to hear him introduce me as his finace as well. The party started out just as I thought it was going to be.....douche chill. (which for all you non Arrested Development fans mean awkward) After a a few alcoholic beverages it got better. And the food was amazing. Ando's boss and his wife made Sri Lankan food. I want Ando to get the recipes so I can try to make some of it, but I doubt that will happen. All in all the night could have been much worse. 

And now the the reason I didn't write this blog on Monday; I got sick. I started feeling bad on Sunday late at night and it progressively got worse on Monday. I only worked a half day before coming home to sleep it off. I took a two hour nap and went to bed at 10 that night. I also used the neti pot, drank some OJ, ate blueberries and black berries and gargled Dimetapp. I used everything I could to make me feel better, and it worked. The next morning I was feeling well enough to go to work. And work is what I did on Tuesday and Wednesday.  

I took Dimetapp without consulting my doctor; I must not be pregnant.
