Ah fuck its literally been like 3 weeks? 4? 3. Oh my god three fucking weeks
Can I even remember back this far? (yes, yes you can). okay fine. Let's go.
This'll actually be one to two posts, because I gotta make a Friends Only one too. but I'll worry about that one later.
I had last gone to the eye doc to get new contacts. We're actually /still/ tweaking my prescription, but I found a pair i /really/ like so im pumped. just when we switched they were weaker than the others. i dont exactly get it, but the doc said that this can happen with different types of lenses. I think I'm just one appointment away from getting this right for sure.
Okay on the 25 we had a party. Sadly, it was kind of a dud. We spent like a hundred bux on food and stuff and I think like 6 or 8 people came. Its fine, and Im happy to see those I did see. But a lot of people committed and then backed out and I'm a little salty about it. My RSVPs had me expecting about 20 people :| Sometimes I feel like people aren't as reliable as they used to be. I don't know why that is. Oh well.
Around this day, maybe the day of, or maybe the day after the party, I noticed a cough. I didn't think anything of it and figured I should just drink more tea and I'll be fine. My sickness only got worse. Wednesday I was so sick I took off work and went to the doc in the box. I was worried I had pneumonia because I felt so frail and I was coughing and it was terrible. Thankfully, it was merely bronchitis.
That Friday I was flying out to Minneapolis. I had to get better. I had to!!
So that week I mostly took it easy. I did take Blue to the vet, and he seems to be holding steady with the diarrhea stuff. I think this is probably as good as it gets. It sucks, but it could be worse, I guess.
Thursday, I was damn determined to get my nails done, because I had an appt. And damn it, I did. I got checkerboard nails and they are so good. ska nails forever. also i got my toes done and most of the fungus and gone and all thats left is to let my nail grow back healthy. imma get my toes done at least once a quarter to help them grow back right.
Okay, so the DAY OF THE FLIGHT i decide I'm good enough to at least fly to Minneapolis for the wedding. The wedding isn't till Sunday, and at worst, I can just stay in the airbnb while people go out. at best, i'll keep getting better
So, for the uninformed (literally all of you) I lived in Minneapolis twice. I went to college there and I tried living there a second time with a former partner, Dylan. I loved and wanted Minneapolis so badly and each time was a loud, resounding "NO!!!" and I still feel bitter about it. But also, given that college was over a decade ago, I don't remember a lot of it. Some of it was probably because I choose to forget, some was probably accidental.
But a lot of it came back. And I'm fucking sick, y'all. Everywhere I turned was a memory of some kind. It was a lot: a wedding, incessant memories, illness. I was just really tired of being there. Tired of being sick. Tired of being on frankin ave and trying to find the old house and actually i dont want to find it but i know it was there somewhere. Ugh. Too many memories! I even drove past a different ex's place. If Travis was there, I'd've liked to have seen him. Shit was weird. idk. here we are back to weird memories i'd rather not relive so i'm repressing them, even in my journal. cool.
so shit. yeah. The wedding was fun though. A little hoity-toity though. fancier than i would have liked but i also expected it. and fuck, its not /my/ wedding. they can do what they want. i was pissed that for the rehersal dinner Lee was like "you gotta go buy a dress" when we were just gonna be at the dinner all casual like. oops. but whatever. its fine. i borrowed a dress from Tessa. we made it work.
We went to some breweries while we were up there. we went to a place called blackstack which treated us so nice. and barrel theory had real good beers. it was a good time. I wasn't drinking much though since I was sick. I kept trying to get just 1 or 2 tops. But fucking hell, like, idk between weddings and Z's friends its like i couldnt escape alcohol. Even Z said once we got back he wanted to not drink so much. which considering my history, it was really reassuring to hear that from him without me prodding or forcing him to feel that way.
While up for the wedding a bunch of our friends were there too. landon and tessa, phil and amanda, gideon and sarah. gideon was being really weird toward landon and tessa and it rubbed Z the wrong way. gideon and sarah are friends, but not as close as we are with the other two couples. idk. i think in a way maybe z was just needing some space, we had seen gideon a lot even before the trip. i dont think gideon was trying to be rude to our friends anyway, so i kind of see it differently.
I was still sick that labor day week, but each day I got a little better. I'm mostly healthy now, but I still feel a little cough-y in the morning and at night. Z never got sick, which is a miracle. But I'm generally v good about washing my hands and hand sanitizer.
Last weekend was a good, fun weekend! Saturday afternoon we did the Lager Jam which is one of my favorite austin beer events, mostly cuz its not too big, but here's always something we hadn't had.
Saturday night Josher was in town to see Five Iron Frenzy~~~~~ Yayyyy! Z went to the show with me and we had a great time! z left before MxPx and after the show, i decided to hang out with Z instead of Josher. I guess Josher got into some shenanigans at the gay bar next door with most of the band, which is hilarious, but idk, i never get to see my husband sooooo
Sunday we watched football and god football is good. i got to see aaron rodgers be proof that there is a god and aaron rodgers is that god.
Oh at Lager Jam, Z was talking to the brewers at the brewery he works at on the weekends, and they really want Z to go full time. I want him to do so too. Like, his job is already forcing him to go to first shift, which is a blessing because with him on third shift I rarely see him, but, like, I know he's gonna hate first shift more because of management and workload and stuff. So Z talks to the brewery owner tomorrow. this is his dream, and while its a bit of a pay cut, I know we can manage. I think we'll be just fine honestly.
Well, I'm sorry its been so long since I posted. Thanks for baring with me. I have 1 more entry to write, but, like i said, thats friends only and I think I'll do it tomorrow. cya
