nekosenseiSo this is what my weekend looked like.
Friday during the day: I had a migraine. I took a lot of drugs so that I could deal with said migraine without ripping my brains out.
Friday night: I picked L. up at the train station. I ended up playing hell finding parking near the station since it was Elm Fest. When we got to my place, I gave her the tour of the new house. She thought it a beautiful house, and she said her mother in particular would have loved a house like this. Then, my sister came over and we went out to dinner at Sushi Nest, which is in downtown Elmhurst. Again, I had a hell of a time finding parking. I think I circled through the parking garage about two times before I found anything. Dinner was awesome and the company was great. We went to my house for awhile where we talked and I showed J. Swedish chef videos on YouTube. I think my personal favorites are the Chocolate Moose sketch followed by the donut one. Heh heh...YouTube is great for wasting time. Since L had to get up early tomorrow, J went home and I gave L a ride back to her apartment.
Saturday: I had another migraine. I had work to do so I worked anyway. It sucked because I felt like I was going to throw up.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
doomsey wasn't at home since he took emygination car shopping. He threatened to kick my butt when he got home if I hadn't taken anything for the migraine by then. Since I had to take drugs on Friday and another day this past week, I was reticent to take more. I decided to take some more Excedrin so doomsey wouldn't kick my ass.
Saturday night: Whendoomsey got home, I had a Trader Joe's satay for dinner. Then, doomsey and I watched an anime movie called Paprika. It was a very bizarre movie. I would have to say that I would have to rank it right up there with the anime, Lain, as a complete and utter mindfuck.
Sunday: I didn't get a migraine. Yay for me! I went over to the cemetary about two blocks away from my house to trim the grass and weeds away from my grandparents' and other relatives' headstones. I looked at the dates again and realized that both my grandparents and my aunt were relatively young when they died. I think my grandfather was in his sixties (I didn't pay too much attention to that one), my grandmother was seventy-three, and my aunt was sixty-nine. I tell you...I have some really sucky genes in my family compared withdoomsey's. Most of his grandparents lived to be more than eighty years old.
When we were kids, this cemetary used to allow people to bring live plants and put them out. They used to have water hoses where you could draw water for them. They have since taken them out, and it looks like people set out artificial flowers now. That is so hokey.
When I got home, I did some more weeding outside. It looks like I'm going to have to attack the way back again in the next week or so.
For dinner,doomsey and I went to Elmfest. I got a pulled pork sandwich from Sweet Baby Ray's as well as a strawberry-bannana smoothie (very delicious!) and doomsey got some random Thai food and a lime-bannana smoothie. Personally, I liked my smoothie better. While we ate, we listened to a group that was impersonating the Beatles. The music was quite good actually. Then, we walked back home. I must say that, as you get closer to the downtown area, the cicadas get loud. I was tempted to cover my ears when we passed by a couple of trees because they literally sounded like they were screaming. That...and I swear to God that the sound cycles. They get loud. Then they get soft. Then they crescendo again. Bizarre.
I've noticed that the cicada noises have been moving steadily northward. I've also been hearing a few more cicadas in my neighborhood, but so far we're not completely inundated with them. I hope it stays that way because the areas that are completely infested with them smell very bad. Somebody told me that it's because they release a pheromone. I'm not going to be amused if I have to spend this entire summer feeling like I'm going to narf because of some stinky bugs. I also tolddoomsey that, if it gets as loud as some of the places we walked through, I'm going to close up the house and turn on the air conditioner. Gah!
Tonight, I think I might go grocery shopping. I'm kind of tired from the walk that we had, so I might sit on my butt for a few more minutes...
