3 day weekends
since i'm a staff member now and not a grad student, i love holidays. i can take them off and not feel too guilty since i'm really entitled to that time off. i did that on friday and had myself a nice, relaxing 3-day weekend.
actually, friday was busy, but not at work, so i guess that counts for something. took Justin to drop off his truck, which needed to have the entire exhaust line replaced. that's what 9 boston winters will do to your car. ran some errands after that - costco, long's, safeway, ace hardware, etc. made cupcakes in the afternoon to take to dinner, which was at my labmate's house. she and her family had been wanting to host the lab for dinner and a bollywood movie (ugh) for a while now, and friday was the night. dinner was surprisingly edible for me and my picky palate, and the movie was well, entertaining. we spent most of the time doing our own MST3K commentary, but it was a nice relaxing night.
i finally slept in on saturday and after being up for about 4 hours, decided it was time for a nap. since mid-week i had been afraid that i was coming down with something and i got a chance to do some catching up on sleep this weekend. it might be a mini-allergy because even though i've caught up on sleep hour-wise, i'm still very tired. anyhow, Justin and i picked up a friend (one of his labmates) and then headed to the Sharks game. the folks i usually meet up there weren't able to go, so they gave me their two tickets and Justin, Jessica and i went. had a good time at the game despite the loss in the shootout.
slept in again today, watched about 8 or 9 episodes of season 1 of "lost" (since i'm watching season 2 now with Justin and never watched before, i need to catch up!) had a yummy dinner of teriyaki flank steak, played some hockey on the PS2, and here i am.
somehow, my ankle magically knows that it's been just over 1 year since surgery. it's letting me know that by cracking, aching, throbbing, and just being a pain. i'm currently IN! for tuesday's AT2 game, but i might be a last minute scratch. fortunately there are lots of people who have clicked yes, and i doubt i'll miss it, but it's quite annoying to have it start hurting for NO REASON AT ALL.
stooopid ankle.

bollywood, oh my. i actually like the choreographed dances but i can't watch much else.
yay for napping 4 hours after waking up! sometimes i don't even bother getting up, preferring to stay in bed because i know a nap is impending. =D
stoopid ankle! could it be because it's getting cold and wet? mine is making crunchy noises, which i'm fascinated with until i realize that ACK! stop doing that, that's ME making that noise!!!
