Happy tired
Jun. 12th, 2004 10:10 pmLet's see.... I used that half hour certificate to get out of work early Friday and we went off to the belly dancing show at the Red Light Cafe. It didn't wind up starting until 9, so that made for an unexpected hour wait, but once it started it was GORGEOUS. I'm very glad we went, even if the chairs were torture devices. ACat had a great time putting his new camera (his birthday present) through its paces. The pictures came out pretty damn well overall, and he's proudly posted them. So, that ran a couple hours, we never did get more than chips and salsa and pita bread pizza for dinner, then we came home and fell over sideways on the bed to go unconscious.
Apparently I didn't sleep too well, made a few mistakes. I woke up about 6 or so with a rather nasty nightmare, got up for a half hour to putter and wipe my mental screens clean, then went back to bed for a couple hours more napping on and off. ACat says I apparently also woke him up at some point by thrashing around, but I don't even remember that. Well, it's a weekend - a little mental fuzziness is no real problem.
Anyhow, we eventualy woke up, got up, and puttered a bit. After the usual morning routine of showers and computers and such, we decided to go see Shrek 2. Excellent, excellent movie! It's at least as good as the first, and that's saying a lot in my opinion. (If you do see it, make sure to stay through the credits. There's a great extra bit shoehorned into the middle of them!) Stuffed on popcorn, we weren't really hungry for lunch so we came home and went swimming long enough to pick up a fair bit of sunburn. ACat had swiped at his shoulders with a sunscreen stick, and the result looks an awful lot like a cross between a stencil and a kid's fingerpaints. :) We worked up a good appetite with that and went off to Cheeburger Cheeburger for a very late lunch/slightly early dinner and stuffed ourselves. Overstuffed ourselves, in fact - by the time we got home, between the sun and the food we needed naps. I snoozed about an hour and got up to chat a bit with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
maedbh7 online, watch tv, replenish liquids and finish reading The Forgotten Beasts of Eld. (Excellent fantasy book by Patricia A McKillip, I strongly recommend it!) By the time ACat had slept for three hours, I figured I'd better haul him up and out of bed or he'd be finished with his night's sleep about one am, and completely screwed up! Now we're lazing around. He's reading some sharply funny and acute movie reviews from Salon to me, I'm catching up on LJ, we're indulging in some very good chocolate brownie ice cream.
Tomorrow, some minimal grocery shopping and household chores, the Harry Potter movie and more swimming, and ACat's wonderful fried catfish for dinner. A lovely, lazy weekend - I've solved the nagging, escalating headaches that have plagued me for the past couple months (Aspertame, apparently. I cut out all the diet soft drinks that had it, within 3 days all gone!), I'm pleasantly tired and well fed and generally feeling indulged and happy.
All is good.
(Not perfect, mind you - that would still require a teleporter! *sigh and hugs as appropriate*)
