It's time for bed, but I don't wanna go. I feel oddly rebellious. After an entire day with a throbbing headache, I guess I just want to be awake to enjoy the lack of pain. Or something.
I wheedled Jeanne into meeting me for dinner and somehow the parking gods were smiling upon me and I didn't have to circle for 12 hours to find parking in Ballard. I'd never been to Thai-ku before, but Ellie and Jeff love it. Jeanne liked her red curry, but I thought the pad thai was just okay. I really love Typhoon! down by the public market. Best green chicken curry ever. It's expensive, but so good. Thai-ku didn't have green or yellow curry, which is what I really like, and I thought the service was a tad surly (except for the nice chick who seated us).
My plans to nag Jeanne into swimming with me have progressed nicely and she's said she'll come to Friday night swim. AND SHE BETTER! (Hi Jeanne!)
Hrm. Maybe I am tired enough to go lie down with some Love & Rockets.
So glad tomorrow's Friday. I also asked for a couple of days off for when my cousin visits at the end of the month. Somewhat selfishly I've asked for a day off while she's here, but then a day off after she leaves. I love my visitors, but you don't get shit done over the weekend then, because of all the fun, so this way on the Monday after she leaves, I can do laundry and grocery shop and just chill at home with the kitty. I always feel paranoid that I'm asking for too much time off, but Jeff pointed out that, um, I'm not. So yay for that. I've got the week in Paris, the last week of the year (I'm not coming in to a dead office again) and then I've got another week and some days to spend on stuff like this. No point in just letting the days sit there unused.
Okay. Bed.
