Fishbowl Friday!

Drinkers unite! Today is Friday, and my friends and I have decided that tonight is going to be a fishbowl night at Boston Pizza. Unfamiliar with Fishbowl Friday? You poor bastards. Think a triple cocktail served in a ridiculous fishbowl and served to you for a low price so you get drunk on two and eat too much. Game on! Granted, there are only a handful of things on the menu of this restaurant that I will actually eat these days, but I am totally fine with that. I am going for the liquor.

These past few weeks, the weather has mostly been sunny and beautiful. Our Hawthorn tree has gotten noticeably taller, our peonies have burst out in full bloom, and our hanging basket has gotten fuller and more gorgeous. All of these things have happened with regular watering of course, because, minus one day of torrential downpours, we have gotten little to no rain.

Today, however, is a different story. It is calling for showers today, tonight into tomorrow morning, and the temperature is a welcomed 18-20C with a comfortable, air-freshening breeze.This is the upside to a low pressure system. The downside to it is that my face feels like it is going to rupture under the sinus pressure I am currently suffering. I recently went to an ENT for tinnitus and hearing issues and was told that my hearing is perfect and that nothing can be done for the tinnitus, so tough shit. But while I was there, I also mentioned the unending sinus misery I get when the weather is garbage, and that it only gets worse when the pollen is high, etc. So now I am on daily anti-histamines, decongestants as needed, and the grossest treatment of all: the neti pot.

Jesus, Dwight... use the sink.

For all my efforts today, I am still left feeling like I am breathing through a straw and my left eye socket feels like it wants my eye to leave and strike out on its own. I pray it doesn't.

So, yesterday's sushi plan didn't happen. We lost track of time and the rice was not prepared ahead of time, so Kevin is planning to make it today instead. Last night for supper, we made a quick and easy pasta dish with the pesto I had made earlier in the day and simply added some fresh cherry tomatoes, corn, and green onions. It was delicious, but ugly as a sock full of soup, so I did not photograph it. 

You're welcome.
