Thanks guys. I just hate feeling like such a whiny git. I so rarely get sick, but it seems as if ever since they figured out the whole anemia thing, it's like my body went, "Oooooh, party time! We have REASONS to feel like crap now."
To which I say, "fuck off."
Besides, tomorrow's my anniversary and we have dinner reservations at a very cool restaurant in St. Augustine-- a branch of one of the oldest restaurants in Florida, The Columbia. Because it started in Ybor City, it's primarily Cuban cooking, with some traditional Spanish overtones.
We both find it highly amusing that we'd end up at a Cuban food restaurant for our anniversary, but our favorite place closed down and every other sort of special occasion type of restaurant in town is either a big chain (Ruth's Chris, really?) or had, God help me, these boring pedestrian sorts of menus that suggested what everyone and their mother thinks of as hip, cutting edge cuisine. Smoked duck breast on every single menu. The steaks with a bernaise sauce. And there's been an alarmingly trendy influx of pommes frites. Because, you know, they can charge three times as much for French fries when they come out in French.
So, the Columbia it is.

Fuck cancer! I just heard from a good friend from high school and her father has stage 4 throat cancer. Any ~ma that you can spare for him and his family, please.

So much ~ma, sj.
Fuck cancer with a rusty chainsaw. I'm sorry, sj. Much ~ma to your friend's father.
Aw crud, sj. Much ~ma to your friend's father and the whole family.

Fay, did you get my insent yesterday? Not that you need to have *read* it now--I'm almost that big of a comment whore, but not quite; just don't want a technical problem.
Hi, everyone! I feel like I've been away so long, so I just wanted to pop in with a quick update.
Work is work, still dating my cutiehead geek boyfriend, which is going fabu. I have no social life this summer, because everyone is pregnant and I am learning how to be the girlfriend of a guy with his 7 y.o. here for a month! (Hint: Watch lots of Godzilla movies, and take up Wii.)
He's met my parents, I've met his mom and stepdad, and will be going to Iowa next weekend to go to a air balloon rally thingie with CHGBF, the kiddo and CHGBF's mom and SF. It should be fun, but I will have to get up really REALLY early, which is personal challenge for me.
Other than that, everything is pretty much the same, which is ok, since it means no catastrophes. Yay! I hope everyone is doing well.
