my money's in a bag, in the back for you

I had a nice day that felt like a day off, even though I technically don't get those anymore. I slept more than eight hours last night, which was a big hit with my body, so I'm going to try it again tonight. Then I did some tidying up, chatted with [censored], took a shower, and went into the hospital to see the allergy specialist who visits once a month. I was feeling some weirdness around what was happening with my allergy shots thus far, but we had a good conversation about it, and I got a set of shots today. So, hopefully I can get back on track and get through them - my allergies were doing a bit better, but the rain we got this weekend woke the grass up, and I can feel the pollen in the air.

After my shots, I went out to my parents' house for lunch. Drewbaby, Drewbaby's girlfriend, and Aunt Kathy came down for the day, and my parents (mostly my mom) fixed a delightful meal - the usual summer smorgasbord of baked beans, potato salad, layered lettuce, and hamburgers and hot dogs. We hung out most of the afternoon, although the "games" were mostly me helping Aunt Kathy figure out a new phone and an old laptop, and also [censored] rewiring a [censored] for them. Oh, and some of us got ice cream at the convenience store I used to work at, which is nowhere near as great as it was when I worked there (although I can still do a good job making a swirl with the soft serve machine).

Eventually, everyone left, and I schlepped some trash around, and then [censored] and I ate leftovers and watched two episodes of 'Fubar'. It's more obvious why the show has mixed reviews - I still think it's funny and I like most of the characters, but the plot is going off the rails and their spycraft seems sloppy and destined to get them all killed. But I'm sure we'll watch the final two episodes of the season sometime soon.

And now, I need to sleep - goodnight!
