Weekend Roundup

Going into this past weekend, I was excited about all the plans I had. Friday was the Jack Johnson concert with Agie, Saturday out with Paul and his friends (Cute Couple), Sunday game with Katie. By Saturday night I was exhausted and run down and by Sunday too sick to go to the game. I barely dragged myself in to the office this morning. If I didn't have two big projects to get done, I'd be home, drugged in bed. I can't imagine why I didn't see this coming. I've been under a pretty fair amount of stress at work, not to mention all the personal stuff and I've been out almost every night for a week. Thursday was my only night off, which I really needed after the concert with Paul Wednesday.

Jack Johnson was awesome. We ended up standing in the front row of the lawn section and had such a great time. The two girls next to us ended up being a really sweet couple from Agie's hometown (which is pretty small and in PA). Agie dropped me off at Paul's where I woke him up from a dead sleep because the beer I'd had interfered with my usual ninja-like stealthiness. I did feel bad the next morning when he was groggy and grumpy from lack of sleep.

Saturday Paul and I went to lunch where we ran into Katie (Paul's first run-in with one of my friends post-incident. He felt uncomfortable and thought Katie was cool towards him. I didn't notice, but if she was, can you blame her? It will get better I am sure. Over time, we'll all get over it as long as he doesn't do it again - if that happens all bets are off and my friends have free reign) and then went our separate ways. We met back up at Buffalo Billiard and played some pool. We were once again the victims of poor service - these establishments really need to hire more people. The guy started off pretty rude, but eventually made reparations even though we weren't able to order food until 10pm. Ugh. After that we went to The Big Hunt for a couple beers and better service. Unfortunately we only had one of the two. Evidently the bartender was really rude to Melissa. So unnecessary. While she and Chris were outside talking Paul got all hokey on me. To paraphrase : I like you. Really. Thank you for putting up with me. I teased him about it yesterday, but not because it was silly or dumb, because it was really cute and sweet.

Sunday Paul and I went to breakfast where we actually had pretty good service and then split up to run errands and have some sorely needed down time. I woke up sneezy and stayed that way the entire day. I haven't been able to breathe through my nose since Saturday night and woke up this morning completely congested, but sneezing less thank God. Hopefully it will run it's course by tomorrow. I'm in charge of a fairly big tasting event Wednesday and I would prefer to be healthy.
