Weekend

I had a low key fun filled weekend.

Friday - Derm Apt. Was recommended to be on Accutane to clear up the reoccurring acne.
Went to the AWB gig with Might McMullen. We caught up on our lives.
Although we live in the same town since she moved here after meeting her surfing 5 years ago, we do not get to see each other all that often.  We caught up, rolled our eyes, laughed and sang at the top of our lungs with the Adam Woodall Band.

Saturday - Was filled with a doctors appointment and a very late doctor. :(
If I'm charged for being late or missing an appointment, why aren't they?  This is MY time, not theirs.  But on the other hand, my doctor is not once to rush anyone out of an appointment.  So I bit my tongue and waited my turn.

Thyroid Meds are indeed too high.  They have to be lowered, but not for another 4 weeks at the earliest. Blood work needs to confirm it again.
Got the green light to be on the Accutane for 6 months. 
Was weighed. :(  I'm heavy. Although my shape and curves help me carry it, it needs to come off. Got the green light to really move forward with the weight loss. 
Aside from that, I'm healthy and the appointment was short.

Got home, napped, then got a text to go for drinks. As I said SURE, I came down with food poisoning. Great, just great. Not to be a Debbie Downer, I forced the issue out then was good. Upon being picked up, I realize I've lost my bank card. Crap. I called the bar from last night. They have it, but I've already cancelled my card.  Ugh. Call my friend/date and explained the situation and gave him an out, since I couldn't afford to cover myself.  Like a true gentleman, he replied that he wouldn't have let me pay anyways, but appreciated the fact that I did not assume he would. :)

Off to the bar we go. Booo completely forgot the UFC fight was on. The bar is packed to the max and just I'm suggesting we try somewhere else, the bar manager offers us two seats with a table of guys, who gracefully invite us to sit with them.  Turns out to be a great night of random. We networked the table, I got a few numbers. :) (once the table learned we were not on a 'date date' but catching up). I play wingman for the guy I'm sitting next too and he scores the number he wanted! Many high fives and drinks are bought for the victory.

The night is slowing down and we've all had many many drinks.  My friend/date walks over to me and says "Are you ready for a night you won't forget?"  I must have looked shocked, cos I had clearly not given the impression I was up for anything other than drinks, and my flirting at the table with other men would have been a clear sign.  The look I gave clued my friend in that I was thinking something completely different from what he had in mind. Phew.  He wanted to drive up to Whistler and watch the sun come up. Not exactly a night to never forget, but I went with it.

I laughed cos it was only midnight and our sun doesn't rise til 6-7am still.  he forgets he's not in San Diego anymore.  But off we go. With a sudden swerve on the highway, I'm reminded of the new drinking laws and that this is not cool, we shouldn't be driving.  I make this clear and express my concern, all while texting friends who I'm with, and where we're heading incase no one hears from me in the morning etc.

We get half way there and he has since calmed/reassured me he's okay. But agrees like a gentleman not to push it. Instead we head back to West Van and promptly get lost.

The short of it is, I ened up peeing on my own leg behind his car. While watching the water, I fell down some rocks and grabbed onto the branch beside me, which was not a branch, but a vine of thorns!!!! 
Many, many wounds.  It's dark in West Van on the water.. no street lights.

Got home in one piece and had decided I had a really good time. We caught up on our lives, laughed, told stories, listen to great music.  Next time I'll take him to meet my friends and hopefully he can build some new rapports.

Sunday - I rebelled and refused to not watch the SuperBowl game. Football.. pptff.  Even though I was cheering for Pittsburg, I heard it was a close game, but they loss. Nursed a small hangover and napped.

Good weekend.

How was yours?
