this mornin...

this morning i went to university health to get my prescriptions refilled. i don't know if the new building has made everyone nicer, but it was a much more pleasant experience than normal. anyway, the nurse i met with was nice, though she didn't really ask the normal questions that i'm used to when people are writing me new prescriptions of my old medications. she really didn't ask many questions at all. though she did look up my lab work on the computer and i think that judging from the number of tests they've run on me since the summer (when you see it on one screen it's kind of overwhelming) she didn't feel the need to send me for new blood tests (yay!).oh yeah, everyone needs to STOP SETTING THEIR WEDDING DATES FOR OCTOBER 20TH. i'm of course going to jessica's, but as we found out today mike is going to have to fly home early from his conference to go to his friend's wedding (it's a childhood friend, otherwise he probably wouldn't go to the trouble of leaving the conference early to fly to jersey). we're hoping someone from that wedding will drive him back to baltimore. but for future reference, the conference mike goes to is held on that same weekend every year. which is why he couldn't come to my brother's wedding this past october.it's actually become really comical at this point. assuming kelly doesn't fly in from california, i'm claiming becca as my date for jessica's wedding!! no one else can have her!oh, anyway, back to the story. so the appointment was pretty quick, and i managed to get a good deal of exercise with all the walking i had to do. yay! though it rather sucked that it was 32 degrees and baltimore streets become fucking wind-funnels. i was also puzzled to see that i was the only person on the bus wearing a hat. though i guess they didn't have as far to walk as i did. but still. though i did feel like i was back in college when i saw the guys at the shuttle stop who obviously didn't check the weather report before they left their apartments. one of my favorite UVA wintertime activities was picking out the guys whose brains said "oh it's sunny outside. i'll wear shorts!" and then later in the day it would snow. of course then there was chris who would look at weather reports and wear shorts anyway. i don't think he owned real pants.so i get back home and call carole because she left a message on my phone telling me to check the website because she put our south park pictures up on the front page. she apparently thought it was thursday because she went into work today an hour late, but i did get to hear her reaction when she saw that i moved the furniture, which was hilarious. though she wouldn't let me off the phone for quite a while. but i did get to make suggestions as to things we need to get in stock. it's really nice because she asks me more now what i think we should get. it makes me feel like i have a bigger part in the store than just an employee.mike and i ordered dinner from the egyptian pizza cafe. soooooo good. we got an order of foul (pronounced 'fool') which i've had before, though their version is a lot closer to hummus, whereas the one i had at my islam professor's house looked more like chili. still damn good though (i think cece thought it was cat food because she was going crazy). i'll have to see if our grocery store has the canned version.i love our delivery guy, though. he's the nicest guy ever. he gave us free bread again (he usually brings us something extra).i should go to bed.
