I've fallen way behind on posting random stuff about my life
- ARR turned five. We had four of his friends to our house for a Transformers-themed party, where we had made up games themed to the Rescue Bots and then had an Optimus Prime pinata. And Jethrien made a Heatwave firetruck cake that was a big hit. I'm impressed that the parents are still speaking to us after we filled their kids with sugar and sent them home with candy and noisemakers.
- My mother determined ARR is the same height I was at that age (44”), but four pounds lighter. Also, I couldn't read when I was four, though Jethrien could, so he's taking after her in that regard.
- I've been to Buddy Who's Burgers twice now, and determined that their signature burgers are very nice (as is the fried chicken sandwich), and the staff is very helpful, but the tuna burger is only middling. I'll likely return again.
- Wavilyem got me a gift certificate to Ample Hills Creamery, and that is some very creative ice cream! (I tried several cake and cookie-blended varieties and enjoyed them all.) They have a lot of competition in Jersey City, but they definitely came out swinging.
- My mom and I saw the Encores production, “Hey, Look Me Over,” a revue of lesser-known Broadway shows with a narration in the style of The Drowsy Chaperone. On one hand, it was basically a collection of “happy villager songs” broken up by the occasional solo. On the other hand: Doug Sills, Vanessa Williams and Bebe Neuwirth.
- As adjusting my Zoloft didn't help, I'm now taking a vitamin B complex, a vitamin D supplement, and a “testosterone booster” supplement for the next three to six months, in an effort to deal with my constant fatigue and exhaustion. So far they've just made my pee yellower, but it's been less than a week.
- I've been having issues with my feet being particularly sweaty and smelly, so among other things, I just bought new work shoes. Everyone clearly needed to know that.
- I actually stayed home sick yesterday, as I woke up feeling crappier than usual with a sore throat and sinus pressure. I went back to bed and slept until noon, then spent the afternoon marathoning Glitch on Netflix. Then went to bed at 9pm, which was very helpful when ARR had a nightmare and woke us all up at 5am this morning.
- Bizarre note on that: My Fitbit usually thinks I sleep fitfully and wake up a lot. Last night, it thought I slept very deeply and didn't wake up until 5am. I didn't take any cold medicine; I'm not sure what could have caused this and I'm wondering if it's a glitch.
