Wacky Weekend Stuff: It ISN’T all it’s cracked up to be!

Hello Blog land!
They say when you are a student that you live for the weekend. Perhaps that’s true, but this weekend was a bit more than I bargained for.  First off, we planned to take Craig the Cat in for a round of shots and to get him fixed. Sadly, the latter was not to be due to the ill decided feeding before visiting the doctor. Craig was given the reprieve to bond with his “man parts” until Monday morning when he would be left at the doctor’s office overnight.
Afternoon brought idle perusal of “How I Met your Mother” Season 2 on DVD. We were debating the evening’s enjoyments, and decided that Crystal Pistol was the venue of choice after a trip to River Spirit Casino. The casino was uneventful, taking all but $10 of our money we brought with us to play on. Upon leaving the casino, we were contacted by J, who asked what the plans were for the night. Relaying the information took but a moment and then we were on our way. The downtown area was jam packed with people, making parking a major issue. Lady luck was on our side here at least, because we found a spot with minimal fuss.  And so it was that we attended the Freaknik Friday Dance Party.
Saturday dawned and eventually I got my behind out of bed. (If you do not yet know, then you will understand that I LOVE TO SLEEP. I can sleep all day if allowed.) Once I was up and had talked to my mother, I saw I had a missed call from Dad aka “The Admiral”. It seems that Ally-son had gotten sick on Friday and they had taken her to the hospital. Appendicitis was the decree and surgery was had. All is well in this story; she is home now with orders to rest and NO driving until she is pain free. (Sadness) Over all, we are just thrilled that she is ok and they found the problem before her appendix ruptured. After visiting her at the hospital, we came back to the house where I encountered a FOUL substance in the air. My allergies are strange and well this one really gets me if I don’t watch myself carefully. After my chest quit hurting and I could breathe normally again, I found my left side achy and it was hard to move my arm over my head, etc. So I bundled up on the couch and we watched TV. My Eric was fantastic at taking care of me, letting me recoup at my own speed.
Sunday started out cold and icky. I had finally gotten all the pieces to my group essay we have been working on in Honors Composition class, and could put all the paragraphs together to make the actual essay. We watched more TV and snacked because I was not starving enough to eat a full meal. Almost before I knew it, it was time to go to bed. Monday would dawn early and we had to take a certain cutie kitty to the vet. J So now it is Monday and I wonder what the week will bring. We are told to expect foul weather this week. I hope that doesn’t mean dire weather conditions. Guess we shall see blog land? Until then, TTFN

  1. What to expect: Snow, and another opportunity for the schools oft repeated promise of, "We never close for weather" to be broken yet again.
