stormdogHaving just taken my morning medicine, the remaining pills suggest that I did not take any of my medicine yesterday. I didn't feel any withdrawal from the Escitalopram (Lexapro), nor was I feeling unusually depressed or anxious, but perhaps that's why I was feeling kind of introverty. Maybe the good stuff the rest of the weekend, and my better mood in general, kept things from being worse.
I went to Custer Street Fair with N, our former housemate, on Saturday. It's a street fair that covers a couple of blocks with the typical food and goods. One branch was a sort of Ren Fair Row of vendors whose work I've seen at Bristol Faire. I bought a metal hair spiral from one of them. I'd somehow never realized how uncomplicated those are to put in or that they stay in on their own. I was hesitant to spend $25, but it matches the colors in my hair nicely and I think I will end up wearing it quite a lot. In fact, I wore it, with my hair in a half-tail, to brunch with Danae on Sunday. (That was the first time we'd been out for brunch in a long time and the experience made me happy; her schedule usually has her sleeping in later than that.)
I also ate a (small) bucket of poutine from a stand that sells fries, poutine, or nachos by the bucket. Dessert (if ice cream at one in the afternoon counts as dessert) was an "ultimate" cone consisting of vanilla and chocolate twist soft-serve dipped in chocolate shell and tons of sprinkles and deposited in a waffle cone. It was *so* good.
Today, there's a launch of some kind of rebranding campaign at work. There was free breakfast, and there will be free lunch as well as a visit from miniature horses. Swag at breakfast included some buttons, and a deck of playing cards with facts about the company. I impressed a coworker by showing her the skills I picked up through time wasted at Magic: the Gathering, shuffling the deck in the air both upside down and with card bottoms facing out and away from me. One of many thoroughly useless skills I possess.
I got a flat tire about a mile from work this morning and had to walk my bike the rest of the way. I made it on time, albeit ten or fifteen minutes behind my usual time. I'll take it home by train and patch the tube, and replace the handlebar grips while I'm at it. The ones it has have long-since been worn smooth and are coming apart so I bought new ones when I was last at the shop.
