To start the weekend off, I got really sick on Thursday sneezing all day and had so much sinus pressure in my face before I went to bed, so I decided that I would actually go to the doctors on Friday so I could get a z-pack or something since I wanted to have a good weekend. The doctor said that since my cold came on so soon, she was just going to give me some steroids in order to reduce the swelling in my sinuses. Steroids? Really? But she swore by them... She said they would make me go crazy and give me lots of energy, so she advised that I don't take them before I go to bed. Then, she said I could also get some antiboitics if I still needed them. So, I started off taking 6 pills on Friday, 5 on Saturday, and now 4 on Sunday and so on and so forth. I'm still feeling pretty sick, but let's face it, I never really stopped to rest the entire weekend.
FRIDAY. So, most of you probably don't know the local radio station of 96.5 The Buzz, but Greg and I really like some of their talk shows and we almost always listen to one of their podcasts on the ride home to St. Louis. Greg is more of a frequent listener than me, but needless to say, we find ourselves laughing out loud at times when we listen to them. My friend had a happy hour in Power & Light on Friday, so I went out and Greg stayed at home since we had a long week in Miami the week before. 96.5 The Buzz was putting on a free concert in Power & Light and Matt & Kim were playing. This almost brought out Greg, but he still stayed home. Anyway, long story short, I ran into "Slim Fast", one of the guys on the afternoon show that Greg loves. I asked to take a picture with him for my husband because he is in love with him. Matt & Kim were awesome, and by the end of the night my ears were ringing and voice was hoarse from screaming over the loud music, and I tell myself that I'm getting too old to party down there.
SATURDAY. Greg was super nice to me all day. He started off making and bringing me a breakfast sandwich and coffee in bed, and then he said he wanted to go trail running. He said he would try out the trails at Kill Creek Park, rather than going all the way down to Lawrence, so I said I would go with him. I popped 3 steroids and was good to go. We ran just under 4 miles and it was difficult. The woods made it really humid, but it was still better than being out in the sun. There were lots of rocks on the trails that made it difficult. Greg is having his friend, Andrew Mais, that was in our wedding up next weekend and they are going to go mountain biking on a couple of trails around us, so they will be back. We drove around the park before we went home, and we saw that they have a little man-made beach on a lake and a fishing area, so we know what we're going to do next time my dad is in town! The only downside is that we found 10 really tiny ticks on each of us when we got home. We were happy that we didn't bring Abby.
Saturday afternoon we went to the winery up the street and packed some snacks. We love just sitting out and relaxing over a glass of wine. We got their chilled Cayuga, which was very refeshing. Then, we went to the movies to see "This is the End". It was pretty funny. We were almost going to go home to eat dinner, but then we saw a new sushi place called Sake by the theater so we stopped in. Greg recognized the Owner as the guy who used to own Wasabi Cafe that was a small, BYOB sushi place that closed. This guy really liked us when he owned the other place and would always make good suggestions or make a special appetizer for us to try. Sure enough, he came over and said hi, we tried a delicious tuna appetizer and he gave us a tour of the place before we left. We promised him we would be back the next weekend with friends.
