Broken Glasses

by

I don’t know how long they have been messed up, but this week I noticed my glasses were broken. I have lenses that tint when exposed to outside sunlight. They are really cool since I don’t need to carry a second pair of sun glasses. I took them off while tinted the other day and i noticed that parts of the edge of the lenses were not getting dark. I thought that maybe it was perspiration or dirt. I figured I would clean them and check another day. Well I did just that. I cleaned the glasses and went out to the grocery store across the street. When I was outside I examined the glasses more carefully. I was amazed to see that the edge of both lenses were not as dark as the center of each lense. One lense was worse than the other but it was clear that the tint finish was defective. I don’t know how long it was messed up like that. It may have been a while. When wearing them you couldn’t see anything wrong since the defects were at the edge.

I took the glasses into the Lenscrafters that I got them from. They were very helpful and replaced the lenses for free. While I had two hours to kill I headed over to Blaggards for a drink or two. Meet up with Mike, Luke, Stanley, etc. It was fun seeing everyone. I headed back to pick up my fixed glasses and headed home. I did stop by Nathans for take out dinner. I hadn’t had Nathans for ages so it was a nice treat.

Back at Work

by

Today was an in the office day for me. I was feeling better than yesterday, but I still feel crappy so I didn’t make my scheduled trip to NJ. I ended up going to my home base office instead. I feel bad not trekking out to Jersey but I don’t want to kill myself. I will go next week. Today was packed with meetings. Talking while my throat hurts wasn’t so fun. I had two hot chocolates throughout the day. I actually used my work mug for the second time since I got it! Not a fan of having to clean it, but it is ecologically more friendly than using disposable ones I guess.

Sick Day

by

I took a sick day today from work. It was the first sick day since everything that went on in October. The stupid head cold I had was killing me. I couldn’t breath or talk. The lack of sleep because of the lack of breathing from my noise was the final straw. I figured I would rest up so I could goto the office tomorrow. I am feeling better than I was last night, but still no where near 100% better.

I totally forgot it was tax day. Of course I did my tax’s in February so it didn’t matter to me!

New Headphones

by

I felt horrible after work, but I forced myself to run the errands I had to before collapsing. I got a hair cut since I really needed one and that always makes me feel better. This time it did a little but the cold didn’t magically go away. Dam cold. On my way home I ran over to the Apple Store. I needed to replace my Bose in ear headphones. I am kinda pissed that a $99 pair of head phones broke. I can only hear out of one ear sometimes. I did have them for almost two years (or so I think), so I didn’t go shopping for another brand. I liked the bose ones overall so I got another pair. I do bang them up so I think I got my moneys worth, or I am just saying that to justify buying another pair. I just know if I had to go another day with the Apple headphones I was going to go crazy!

I am Sick

by

I have a head cold. I started feeling my throat get scratchy on Saturday night. Thankfully I saw the signs and started taking Zicam as soon as I could. By Sunday morning my throat hurt bad. Today at work wasn’t fun talking on all the conference calls, but at least it was a work from home day so I didn’t have to run to and from work. Tomorrow I will have to do that. Actually tomorrow I have to run to my main office (aka the office I am based out of), then in the afternoon I have to go to a meeting at our midtown office. At least I will be closer to home when I am done, but I am not looking forward to running around while I am sick!

Dinner With The Family

by

Yesterday I meet up with Jayson, John, Dave, Danny and others for lunch and drinks for John’s birthday. We went to the house of brews. It was fun, but I only stayed for less than 2 hours. From what I heard there was drinking for several hours after I left. Thankfully I only had one Jack and Coke.

I couldn’t stay later since I had to meet up with my Mom, Sister, Niece and Newphew in Time Square. They went to a show. I went with them back to my parents place. Zach enjoyed a subway performer on the way to the train. He is so funny. We hung out at my parents place in the afternoon. I tinkered a little on my dad’s computer to fix a few minor issues. I typically do that when I am over. I didn’t do much of anything else since I started getting a migraine. My dad gave me some pain meds. It helped for a while, but I will get to that in a minute. We cooked dinner at in. The leftover steak we had was good, but the fresh stuff my mom picked up wasn’t so hot, but it was nice to get to see my family twice in a week.

After my sister put the kids to bed we hung out and talked for a while. In retrospect I should have gone home earlier. The medication started wearing off before I got a ride home. My mom and sister drove me back to my place. I kinda had a migraine melt down in the car on the way home. Thankfully the trip home was uneventful and I went right to bed. I had a horrible night. I stomach and head hurt all night. Because of that I stayed in today and just tried to relax and rest a bit.

Passover

by

Went to my brother in laws dad’s apartment for the first night of Passover today. It was crazy with all the kids (5 of them under 7), but it is also what makes things interesting. Dinner was ok, but I am never into Jewish holiday food. Desert was really good though. I had fun with Morgan, Zachary, and Lauren’s kids. I went to dinner straight from work. It was right on the way so that was good.

I even got a ride home from my mom and dad. Totally didn’t think that would happen but since I was on their way home I guess it made sense.

Single Again

by

Other semi notable events that happened this weekend is that I am single again. It happened after the trip to the country on Saturday. It wasn’t planned on my part but after looking back on recent events I guess I knew it wasn’t working out for the past two weeks. I enjoyed my time with Beata but in the end if it isn’t working you have to be honest with someone. That is all I will really discuss on the subject. It is now time to brush off my online profile!

Trip to the Country

by

Spent the day yesterday at Jayson & Gretchen’s. It rained a bit. The train ride was long but we had a good time. We grabbed lunch at a pub by the train station. Scott ended up stopping by for a quick lunch with us. Dave showed up for a while to hang out also. We watched a movie. It was an overall relaxing day (minus the train ride).

Beata and I headed back to the city and grabbed a late dinner at TGI Fridays. That was when things got interesting, but I wont go into details.
