$17 potato vegetable curry
i got physical yesterday. it was technically for work but i hadn't had one in a few years so i figured it was a good idea. i finally got in after waiting in the lobby for 20 minutes while two pushy pharmaceutical reps to pitched their shit to the nurses through the check-in window. anyway, 2 hours later i had a tetanus shot wound, gauze on the inside of my elbow from blood work, and a moderate to severely freaked out physician. the tone of the appointment had changed drastically when i off-handedly mentioned that i've had a slight cough ever since i returned from thailand 3 weeks ago. she hit me with a barrage of questions - dry or wet? how frequent? have you taken anything for it - what? any soreness in the neck or chest? headaches? i thought she might be somewhat amused or have her interest piqued by my situation given that she mostly has to deal with the repetitive health problems of suburban families, but she actually seemed genuinely freaked out rather than intrigued. anyway, after some needles she handed me a prescription for antibiotics and said to get back to her in 7 days. i'm not concerned.
last night i got home from work at around 9pm. (sidenote: turns out i'll have time off after all and will be home at least friday-sunday mornings on weekends.) i came home and was surprised to see my sister and parents dressed up and ready to go out to dinner. who goes out for family dinners past 8 and who expects to find a nice restaurant open in northeast ohio at that time? well maybe a lot of people because we went to this place called "blue canyon" in twinsburg which was open until 1am. it was damn nice but the decor was the whole rustic ski-lodge thing and seemed kind of like a farce considering the view from the massive windows wasn't of an idyllic mountain resort but of the parking lot of Damon's. we had "lobster nachos" as an appetizer which was less interesting than the fact that upon ordering them we found out my dad had never had nachos before in his life. if i didn't know better i'd swear he'd grown up in a foreign country.
