sing with bravado

  • Heidi ho folks, I am back. I had a fairly decent weekend. Kinda busy but what else is new? Thursday morning Dad had a doctor appointment and it was confirmed that he has pneumonia. He's still on some hardcore antibiotics and staying at home, and has yet another follow up on Tuesday morning. He seems to be okay except for the hacking up of giant phlegm balls.
  • Friday morning I took Michelle to the lab to drop off Dad's phlegm sample, and it took a freaking hour. She had to sign in and wait that long to drop off a cup of yellow mucus. It cut in on my sleepytime so I was kinda mad. Then later on in the afternoon I worked at Traffic, and it was pretty fun. That evening Davina and I went to dinner at Mimi's Cafe then went to see Role Models in Dublin. The movie was pretty darn funny. Good job, David Wain. It wasn't one of those "OMG I gotta get this on DVD" kinda movies but it was very entertaining.
  • Saturday I did my part-time job as usual. Spent most of my time actually working, which was a good thing. When I got back home Cathy wanted to get out of the house so we went to Stoneridge Mall. We perused the clearance section at Hot Topic and got sweet deals. I got a new pair of shoes for $11 and a new backpack for $5. Score! Later on in the evening I went to dinner with Davina and Lorie at The Elephant Bar. I saw one of my former Burger King coworkers Pedro there, he's really nice. Then we did karaoke for 3 hours in Hayward, and had a blast. I love belting my heart out. I think Davina blows everyone out of the water with her style and pizazz. Kinda hard to beat that bravado. Although I'm more on key. Haha. Lorie does well with R&B and rap songs for some reason.
  • Sunday morning I slept in late, and it felt awesome. I hadn't gone to bed until 4am since I got in late from my night out and watched a movie there in my room. I eventually got out of bed a little after noon. I decided to be healthy and go to the gym with Cathy. I haven't gone in well over a week due to so much crap going on lately. When I got home I completely got my new room organized. I made 3 boxes of stuff for GoodWill and got everything else crammed in my closet. Later on in the evening I went to Chili's with Michelle, then we came back to my place to watch TV and chill. And now I'm here. How thrilling.
  • I have a feeling I won't be getting much sleep this week either, least in the next few days. I wish Michelle would stop scheduling errands on days when I'm working my afternoon job. I need my rest, dude. The doctor thing I understand about. We're keeping a close eye on Dad's health since he had pneumonia a few years ago and spent 3 months in the hospital. I'm tired of ailing parents around the holidays. Hopefully the antibiotics are kicking this thing's ass. So if any of you guys wanna keep my Dad in your prayers, go ahead and do that.
