Sick to Super
May 02, 2005 ( life )
So, Wed-Fri I was sick as a dog. I felt it coming tuesday night and stocked up on OJ and did laundry, and then barely left my house for the next 3 days. Friday morning I finally went to a doctor after it hadn't gotten any better (oh, and let me tell ya, RPCV insurance is about as useful as a rubber fork.
But I got some antibiotics and such, and possibly it was just a virus that ran it's course, 'cuz I woke up totally, 100% back saturday morning.
Which is good... I'd promised to help a friend move, and Cory
was coming down to hang with the Austin RPCV gang. I moved until ~1p or so, then hit Eeyore's to find the other RPCVs who were hangin' there (evidentially LOTS of people were there -- but I only saw Robyn (easily found by following juggling objects).
We hung out and wandered around a bit; then went to meet Cory
and returned. We got split up, Cory and I ended up bouncing around in a drum circle for a while, and then we went down to the new Opal's where another Jamaica RPCV is working for dinnerish stuff and drinks, and then a bit of 6th streeting, but a lot of us were dead tired by then, and I didn't want to over-exert my first day or recovery (hah, too late!)
Sunday we lounged around, walked around UT for a bit, then in the afternoon went kayaking on Town Lake and then went to HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy at Alamo South (and got free Pan-Galactic Gargle-Blasters!). I love Alamo -- the final answer to what you'd do if you had a movie theater at your disposal.
Wow, a great weekend, amazing after a sucky week of sickness.
And Monday, I find that K's looking into tix to visit during her summer "break" between sessions! Yay good newses!
