POOF! Weekend's over.

I had a SLOW start to Saturday morning. I got up at my usual time around 6 and fiddled around a little, not really getting anything accomplished. I was still sleepy and it was a gray day outside so I crawled back in bed. Around noon, I finally got up. I was on the fence about washing my car as it looked as though it could rain at any time. I DID however get busy trimming the holly bushes in front of my porch. Yet again, I filled up my yard waste bin.

I ended up washing my car after all. It was a bit dingy from all the driving I had been doing the past week or so. I also took the time to check tire pressures - ALL of which were low to some degree. Everything's back to a recommended 32 PSI now though so hopefully, my gas mileage will also improve slightly.

Went over to Jack's place to hang out and jam. He's got a nice multi-level patio in his back yard under a canopy of trees. A nice touch is that there's a fire pit right there next to one of the platforms. Roasted some marshmallows before getting a few instruments out to jam in the cool evening air. It was nice. I had flashbacks to my days as a boy scout in my younger years - sitting by the campfire with friends just talking about stuff and not having a care in the world. Very therapeutic.

Got up at 6 Sunday morning and STILL was late to church for band warm up. Good grief, I live about the closest to the building yet have been getting there late. I gotta work on that. The music went well today from what I could tell. Other than me losing count and coming in too early after a break (but I covered it up so it looked like I meant to do it - heh.), it was uneventful.

Had lunch with friends then afterward, saw that a bird had crapped on my car. Ahhh... can't keep it clean for 24 hours. I did clean that up when I had a chance to. During lunch, Kevin mentioned something about one of my eyes looking, well, different. I thought nothing of it till I looked in the mirror and saw my bottom eyelid swelling just slightly. I looked again a bit later and it was pretty puffy. Just great. Anyway, turns out I had some kind of allergic reaction I think. To what, I'm not sure yet but it's all better now. Geez.

For dinner tonight, I tried out a new steak house opened up by Jody Witt, a friend of Kyle's and my sister. Food was so-so, but they've only been open a few days so maybe it's just some start up hiccups. We'll see when we go back after a few weeks.
