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
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
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
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
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
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.
I Am Not Writting
To me the title of this post is a question and a statement. I am not writing, and I am not really sure why? I have a ton of stuff I want to and can write about, yet I am not. I can only attribute it to I am not in the mood. Over the past few weeks I have sat down to write a few posts and then haven’t finished them. I have a bunch of drafts sitting in my Blog editing client (ecto if you are wondering) but nothing finished yet.
I will eventually get to them. I go through highs and lows with posting. Not two months ago I had a queue of posts pending to be published. Oh well. In my writing absence my blogging experience had a birthday. It turned 6 on the 23rd. Wow, I can’t believe it has been six years since I started writing online. I also had a birthday. Well that is all that really went on since it has only been less than three weeks since my last post. Just feels like longer.
More soon!!!
6 Years
It totally slipped by me that I actually started blogging 6 years ago yesterday. I can’t believe it has been 6 years since I started writing online. I have kept journals before but this is the longest I have consistently (if you call it that) written. The site has evolved over the years. Changed names and URL’s a few times, but my ramblings remain! Here is to another 6 years!
St. Patricks Day
Yesterday for St. Patrick’s day I headed over to Blaggards. Where else would I spend an Irish holiday but the irish bar I typically goto. I don’t know how I did it, but I convinced Jayson to stay out, and actually get Gretchen to come into the city for the night. They meet up at Blaggards along with John who stayed for a round or two. Ben, Luke, Stanley, Danny, Beata and others showed up also. It was a fun night of hanging out, drinking, and eating. I didn’t stay out too late, but I didn’t get home till after 10. It was a long day but enjoyable day.
My Birthday
Today was my birthday! I worked from home most of the morning. Then I meet up with Jayson, John, Danny, and Eric for lunch at Angelo Maxies. Steak birthday lunch was really good. I then headed to the office for a meeting in the afternoon. Then it was home to meet up with my parents and Beata for birthday dinner. Dinner was good. I had king crab legs! The perfect birthday food.
After dinner my mom gave me my gift. I knew what it was but it was still cool to see. A few years ago my sister bought me a sheet of $2 bills for a birthday gift. I wanted it since i thought it would be really cool. I hadn’t done anything with it for ages and mentioned to my my mom I wanted to get them framed. She got them framed (and had a much better job done than I would have paid for) and broght the finished product. It was really cool since I had it framed in a way that you can hang it with the front or back facing people. It looks awsome. I need to get a special hook to handle the weight of the frame and find a place to put it!
