Caturday

I think this sums it all up. (And it’s Caturday, so stop complaining).

I can’t believe this weekend is finally here. I had a few rough weeks of busy-ness and stress…and now it’s basically summer. And this is going to be my skinniest summer since ’98. (Okay, I’m sadly excited about that.)

I taught yesterday and then went to Lemongrass with Melissa. I branched out from my usual meal there of "seafood hotpot". I love the hotpot because the rice at the edges gets very crispy. I also love fishcakes, something I first had at Siam Cafe in Cleveland. But I wanted to get something different so I got something with noodles instead. It still involved fishcakes and shrimp. All foods should contain at least a couple of shrimp.

Fascinating. I know. This would be a better entry if we hadn’t THEN gone to Absolutli Goosed and met up with some other folks. Good times were had. But I woke up feeling somewhat…dehydrated…to say the least, and I still wanted to get in a run. I did the front loop of Tower Grove Park and returned home completely drenched. With the thermometer only reading 70 degrees. I weighed myself before and after, and my scale registered a 1/2 pound loss from the run. I don’t know how people deal with this heat.

Now it’s a student recital followed by a wedding at the Jewel Box.

That greenhouse looking thing is the Jewel Box, which is located in Forest Park. I have played dozens of weddings there, and have a half dozen on the schedule for this summer. It’s a nice place, I guess.
