Anyone doing fun stuff over the weekend? It's been stupidly nice here lately. Still haven't broken 100 degrees, and it's been in the 80s all week. Given me a chance to get the backyard cleaned up pretty well without dying from heat. Been eating dinner out on the porch a lot, and tonight we're going to move a TV out there, hook up a player and watch 80s thrillers while drinking some Rolling Rock. Sprout's had 12-packs on sale for $7. Even got some real charcoal and grilled steaks tonight. Been a long time since I used charcoal, and it tasted fucking delicious! Got some corn on the cob for 15 cents and had that with cheesy mashed potatoes. Tomorrow, gonna have a picnic at a nearby park. Bought a picnic basket maybe 7 or 8 years ago, and it must have become instant crap storage. LOL Never used it, but I saved it when I cleaned out the storage room. Now we're gonna use the damn thing. Planted a lot of plants this season, front and back, and are even trying some vegetables again. We've got tomatoes, squash, purple bell peppers, corn, and come cilantro. Just saw there are 6 little sprouts in the corn planter. Just been too damn nice outside to not find ways to enjoy it before the summer really hits and bakes the shit out of us all.

I've been dealing with a real motherfucker of a virus this week, so my weekend plans are purely recuperative.
The worst sore throat I've ever had, three solid days where every single swallow was agonizing. On day 2 I lost my voice completely and then the fever kicked in, which was also awesome. Horrible chills and constant sweating, waking up in the middle of the night drenched. I go see a doctor and find out it isn't strep, but they prescribe antibiotics anyway. I filled the prescription and started taking the meds, and then the sore throat gets better (downgrades from "excruciating" to merely "sucky"). But because I'm weak and paranoid I'm afraid to stop taking the antibiotics, and now the nausea/headache side effects are kicking in. I'm pretty sure I never had an infection so stopping them would be fine, but I'm still hesitant. This blows.
So yeah, no big plans. Maybe watch Private Ryan or something.

My dad's gonna cook up some ribs and I'll probably just be playing with the new pup.
