Man if I was in a foul mood last week, this week would rate downright boorish.\u00a0 Try as I might, my naturally effervescent attitude is unable to overcome the cumulative effects of work, weather, and shaky health.\u00a0 I’ve been bordering on sick for a few weeks now, and I think it’s starting to catch up with me.\u00a0 And as for Donette, she took a header down the stairs last Friday (likely in an effort to avoid going to work) so I’ve been tending to her every whim, even more so than usual.<\/p>\n
Friday, once again a few people from work joined me at the Brooksider for a light Happy Hour celebration.\u00a0 Not much to recount there…\u00a0 Nothing ever changes at the Brooksider, which is why I go there.\u00a0 We hung out for a bit, then I picked up a delicious order of chicken strips to go (1\/2 price before 7:00, you know) and went home to watch TV.\u00a0 I watched a couple of movies, starting with “Epic Movie<\/a>.”\u00a0 Wow, was THAT a poor movie.\u00a0 I generally kind of like stupid movies;\u00a0 They’re usually good for a chuckle or two.\u00a0 This one, unfortunately, was so stupid it couldn’t even be followed.\u00a0 I really can’t explain why I didn’t just shut it off and move on to the next one, which was “Resident Evil<\/a>.”\u00a0 Mildly more entertaining, as I am somewhat fond of senseless action movies, but still definitely leaning towards the stupid side.<\/p>\n Saturday could be summed up as a day lost out of my life.\u00a0 I spent a little time in the back yard with the dogs, but that was about it.\u00a0 I had to go in to work around midnight, and that loomed in front of me like a black cloud all day.\u00a0 I am just almost too old for those all-night work sessions.<\/p>\n Sunday, Hop-Along-Doni pretty much insisted we leave the house for a while.\u00a0 She spent all day Friday and Saturday in bed resting her ankle, and we were both effectively stir-crazy by Sunday.\u00a0 We went to Costco and bummed around for a while, eating samples and buying things we don’t need, which is what you are supposed to do at Costco I think.\u00a0 After that we headed back to the house, with a stop at the Brooksider stuck in the trip as a waypoint.\u00a0 We caught up on all the weekend gossip, mostly which revolved around the big shooting at Price Chopper on Saturday.\u00a0 We were having a pretty good time hanging out, but were interrupted by some silly band doing non-stop sound-checks.\u00a0 “Yes, you are extremely loud, you can stop playing now.”\u00a0 They were quite a group of characters though, and did make for some interesting people-watching for a while.\u00a0 Believe it or not, it was a Missouri<\/a> tribute band, and they looked the part.\u00a0 Geez that music is even just a bit older than my tastes, although not by much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Man if I was in a foul mood last week, this week would rate downright boorish.\u00a0 Try as I might, my naturally effervescent attitude is unable to overcome the cumulative effects of work, weather, and shaky health.\u00a0 I’ve been bordering on sick for a few weeks now, and I think it’s starting to catch up […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-241","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=241"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=241"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=241"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=241"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
