Toast

I walked by a patient's food tray and now I want buttered toast. It's strange that hospital food could actually talk you into having a craving, but it happens from time to time. Makes sense to me that it makes a frequent appearance here - personally I think toast always tastes better when you're sick. I also find that to be true of cheese, for some reason, especially macaroni and cheese. The Kraft in the box kind, not the Velveeta oozy cheese one. Powder packets, while disgusting if you actually stop to think about it, reign supreme over its more liquid counterpart.

Speaking of which, I can't tell if I'm having a bad allergy/headache day or if I'm actually getting sick. I felt lousy last night and again when I woke up this morning, but since then I've been waxing and waning. I have a stuffy head, am blowing my nose/coughing more often than I usually do. If I am getting sick, I really hope that it'll get here already and clear within the next few days, because I'm going to Xmas in July at Put-In-Bay this weekend and to quote Mack, I need my energy legs. If I'm not going to get sick now, all I ask is that I don't get sick then and I really really don't get sick while we're on the cruise.

Another great but busy weekend, I accomplished the following:
1. Walked on Huntington Beach and saw a guy get arrested by two horses. Technically, he was arrested by two police officers on horses, but I like to think that the horses were the law enforcers in this case.
2. Laundry
3. Dyed my hair, but am only a slight brunette at the moment. Might go darker later, but am content for now
4. In order to buy the hair dye, Mom and I went to Target where most of the lights were out and we kept grabbing a couple of boxes and taking them out in the center aisle where the light was better. The big coolers had caution tape around them just so people wouldn't keep letting the warm air in.
5. Saw HMS Pinafore at the Ohio Light Opera in Wooster with all of my in-laws (save Sarah who was still rocking a horrible infection at the time, poor thing). I wasn't a big fan of the show itself and had some issues with the production, but there were some really good voices and it's always nice to see a show
6. Accomplished some much needed housekeeping type things - would have been more than some, but Tim wound up getting off work six hours earlier than he thought he would on Saturday, which resulted in the following
7. Wandering around the Lakewood Street Walk with Tim and Mike and buying some cute cocktail glasses for very cheap
8. Finally seeing 70 Lewis in person and being bitter that my number wasn't called in the raffle
9. El Jalapenos with Tim, Mike, Jason and the now improved Sarah
10. Rocking out Scattergories with the above, plus Mike's (very entertaining) friend Morgan joining us
11. My new favorite thing: Mike was driving through Steelyard Commons when a pack of geese decided to cross the road. Mike stopped for them, but one goose broke off and decided he should walk in a straight line directly in front of Mike's car, as if he had decided that he wanted to mess around with this guy. The goose moved eventually, but its awesomeness stayed with us for much longer
12. Watched the Indians lose. However, I watched them lose on a nice day, with good seats and good company (Mom, Mack, Kristen, her friend Mel, and Mel's sister Rachel). I'm still a little bitter that I actually touched a baseball that was thrown into the stands, but just couldn't get to it...If I had been one seat over, I would have had it.
13. Ate a delicious Melt sandwich and got a bit tipsy over one (yes only one) of their drinks. I don't know what the ratios are in this drink, but it always throws me for a loop. It probably doesn't help that I come to Melt on an empty stomach and have to wait awhile to be seated/actually get food, but still, it really works on me.
