We took a whirlwind, super-secret trip to Chicago this weekend. It was a surprise visit in honor of the sister's birthday and role in Romeo and Juliet at her school. It would have been a nicer trip if I hadn't been sick as a dog the whole time, but it was still nice enough. The nephew remembers me these days, which is fun. My dad got a PSP for his birthday, and I spent most of my free time playing the PSP version of Katamari (We <3 Katamari is still my favorite of the games).

got in on Friday, late. Found out that Wiener's Circle no longer sells veggie burgers, which reduces our motivation for moving to Chicago. Slept on the air mattress that the cat had clawed, thus woke up on the floor, on the deflated mattress. Spent Saturday doing a lot of nothing, but did enjoy getting hair cut and highlighted. Show was at 7, then out to dinner after, where we closed down the restaurant. I had fantastic braised baby back ribs.

Sunday, tried to play Scrabble, but mostly just pushed tiles around. Enjoyed food from brother's restaurant, Wow Bao, including excellent ginger ale. Spent quality time in the airport.

Woke up this morning to pretty snow, and dragged myself to work. I still feel like there are monkeys dancing in my sinuses, but feel better than I did for most of the weekend. There was very little food in the house, so my lunch consists of a Lara Bar, trail mix, and beef jerky, and I had to prepare my morning coffee with heavy cream, since it was the only dairy product that hadn't gone sour since Thanksgiving, which was the last time we shopped.
