Friday we went to the club and had a good chat that helped resolve a lot of issues we'd been struggling with.
Saturday a few different friends had their bands play at the same little dive bar here in town so I got to catch up with them, then we went to the club again.
Sunday I went to urgent care to find out I have a horrible sinus infection. I spent the rest of the day on the couch.
I was at the studio a ton, but it was all good. We had a really fun Easter ride and then we had friends over for an early dinner. I made slow cooked beef ragu over creamy polenta.

Friday I got out at 3:30 and met a co-worker for a couple drinks. That evening Jay and I stayed in and finally watched the Justin Beiber roast.
Saturday I did a bunch of cleaning while Jay did some basement related errands, then we went to Boston to watch the band Tribal Seeds with BIL and SIL. It was nice to go out with them once more before their baby arrives.
Sunday we were up early and sanding/vacuuming the basement because we needed to return the shop Vac we rented by 1:30. Then we did some shopping, went home, had a few drinks and cooked a ham. Waited for dad to call, which he didn't. I kinda wanted him to know that we had no plans. And while Jay and I enjoyed our Sunday doing things we needed to do I still want my dad to know we stayed home alone. I am kind of packing his bags for a guilt trip he may or may not take.

Stressful sums up this weekend. And I couldn't really target a single reason.
Thursday, I went shopping and spent more than I should have, but I got some cute dresses and shorts that aren't denim.
Friday, I treated H to some hibachi for his birthday and took him to browse flowers. (I also bought myself some shoes for his birthday. When we got home, he wanted to plant his new flowers, so I went to get a pedicure with my work BFF whose birthday was also Friday. Then we went out to dinner with our work BFFs.
Saturday, we drove to my hometown and spent the day with extended family. I had a heart to heart with one of my cousins (in her 50s with grandkids) about my choice to remain childfree. She respects my decision, but was curious how my family feels about it. I was always curious, but never asked about another cousin (also in her 50s) who has no children. I wasn't sure if it was choice or circumstance. I was happy to learn that, although her husband is unable to have children, she decided before she met him that she didn't want kids.
Sunday was a clusterfuck. Both my sister and SIL were in pissy moods, then add their screaming kids into the equation. Positives: I loved my Easter outfit. And my 6 month old nephew lit up and reached out for me when he first saw me Sunday morning.
Mine was okay. Friday FIL called to say that he and MIL would be coming to stay at our house for the weekend, so I left work early to clean and move furniture so MIL could get around with her walker. Then at 8pm FIL called again and said they weren't coming and could we come to their house instead? So, yeah. That night we went to our friends' house for a birthday party and had tons of sushi and bourbon.
Saturday we had an appointment at a nursery to pick out a tree to replace the 100-year old oak that died last year. Then we grabbed breakfast, packed, and drove to the ILs'. Watched basketball and ate and that was about it.
Sunday ILs and G went to church while I slept in, then we all went to G's aunts' house 2 hours away. Ate a ton of food and then went home and I passed out on the couch early.

Friday I had a good relaxing evening. Made dinner, caught up on some reading.
Saturday I worked all day, wasn't feeling great by the end. We had an easy dinner and went to bed early.
Sunday my body decided to riot. Sore throat, tender lymph nodes, body aches. I drank Tylenol Cold and Flu like it was water and slept on the couch all day. The sore throat is mostly gone, but the rest is lingering. Thankfully I only work one job so I'll go home and enjoy drugs + couch + Netflix again, haha.
Friday - My boss left at 1, so I told the rest of my group to leave by 3. I went home, drank wine and cleaned the house. Wooo! S got home later than planned because his flight was delayed.
Saturday - Ran a 5K with some friends, then we went out for breakfast. S and out went out for wings and to watch college basketball.
Sunday - S had the first flight out back to CA, so I putzed around at home, worked a little, cooked; couldn't get motivated to do much of anything else which was fine.
Friday - slept in after a late night on Thursday and then drove up to CT. Between construction in NY and an accident in CT, it took forever! Hung out with my mom for awhile and then went grocery shopping. They didn't have to two main fucking ingredients I needed for my strawberry tiramisu, so I made tres leches cake instead.
Saturday - We had our Easter dinner because it's more convenient than Sunday. I was going to take it easy on cooking because of my injured finger, but I made the cake, spinach bread, asiago potatoes, mashed potatoes, asparagus with garlic and lemon, and Brussels sprouts with bacon. All my siblings were there, and we had a fire out back.
Sunday - went with my dad to visit his friend who had a stroke a couple years ago. He looked really good, but it's just so sad to see him not himself. Then I did my sister's taxes and she was not happy to find out that she is not getting a big refund like she is used to (welcome to adulthood, it blows). Drove back, went grocery shopping and watched all the episodes of Better Call Saul on my DVR.
