Friday was a new friends birthday so kate and I headed out to a bar (that I was in my first semi-bar fight in a few years ago!) in VA. I was dead tired so I managed to take a nap before heading out. We were right on time (because we are dorks) so to kill time, we went to Target right before they closed and got Maalox, gum and an Indiana Jones Lego™ set.

There we were, sitting in the bar parking lot in our car, 10 o clock at night... building Lego. Anyhoo, after we felt a respectable "fashionably late" time had been reached, we walked in and as soon as I got through the door a group of random folks started screaming "WTF! JKREW!" at the bar. To my surprise a half dozen or so old car friends were already boozing it up in the back for whom I haven't seen in months. Kate wandered over to the birthday girl's group of friends while I got a beer and caught up quickly with old friends (some of which I didn't even know cared that much about me to begin with but was happily proven wrong.)

As time passed, more and more people I knew walked through the door. It was so cool to feel like I did several years ago when I was fairly deep in the car scene and knew just about everyone I came across. It was just like old times and I thought to myself why I had been holed up in my house this entire time if this was what it was like every weekend night.

We left an hour or so later and drove home. I had had one beer to my surprise (as I was scared of seizures due to the new meds) but was pretty happy with being able to drive home and not be worried about getting a DUI like past bar endeavors. The whole ride home kate and I were laughing at how bad we stunk due to all of the cig smoke too haha

Saturday was pure shit. All rain. I dropped Dara off at the mechanics shop and am REALLY unhappy with the notion that I will be without her for close to a month. 30 DAYS!!! It really does stink to be completely 100% car-less and I haven't gone this long without transportation since my cat went bad years ago.

Caught dinner with the rents that night and I was even allowed to borrow my step-pops bimmer while the car is in the shop. It has a few issues with a leaky set of wheels so I am doing my best to get that fixed and earn my keep for the extremely generous gesture he provided me with. Still a little surprised he has lent it to me again and I am very happy with the fact that he trusts me with it =) It is a pretty sweet ride. No frills, not a crazy euro-mobile but it drives great for an old gal with close to 200k on her. If I was in another life, I might have just become a Bavarian fan but who knows ;)

Sunday we caught brunch with some married friends and I had the best fucking omelette I have ever had in my entire life. That's pretty much the extent of my breakfast experience right there and I'm rambling because I'm tired as crap.

This week I have loads of shit to do. Make a billion websites for friends, work and family. Make a care package for Elliott at PVW. Clean up the house, design some pieces for Dara, order wedding invitations blah blah blah.

Anyways, there's the weekend entry for posterity. One week of meds (almost) down the hatch. Feeling ok about things. Fairly clear headed which is nice. No grumpy feelings etc etc etc. We'll see.
