Weekend

We had a really busy weekend. On Friday we left work early for a beer at O'Leary's, then headed over to Bertis' for Darrell's Birthday dinner. Bertis made an awsome lasagne and a Chocolate-chocolate cake with boiled icing. The Bonds were there as well of course, having returned from their camping trip to Montreal.

Earlier in the week we had thought of going to the pride dance on Saturday, but decided on Friday night that we would skip it. Basic reason...we really just couldn't afford it. Fifteen dollars each just to get through the door, then drinks = too expensive an evening. I still think it's offensive to make people pay a cover charge just to get into a bar, by the time you get in and get your first drink you've spent ten bucks. You might as well go to the liquor store and invite your friends over... it's cheaper and you can talk to each other without yelling all night.(There now you know... that's how old I've gotten)

We spent Saturday doing some small jobs around the house. We spread some more peat moss over the area we seeded. The little baby grass is starting to come up now and the ground has a slight green tinge to it, almost like a thin layer of mold but it's actually grass. I repotted a couple plants, & cleaned the kitchen. Darrell got a call from Mike, and we ended up going over to Mike and Cathy's to help them put in laminate flooring in their living room.

Sunday started out as a lazy day. I did the laundry and dried it on the line. Kathy and Elizabeth came over and we had some margaritas (I use vodka instead of tequilla). Then Darrell and I spent the rest of the day just doing odd little chores that needed doing while he got ready to head to Halifax this morning.

He was up and out the door at 4am, on his way to Halifax for an appointment with a thyroid specialist, and it's about bloody time too. He has been up and down and every which way with his thyroid over the past couple years and no one seems to be able to get the dose right. It doesn't help that he often adjusts the dose himself when he thinks it's not quite right. Hopefully this doctor will have some useful advise and he'll actually follow it.
