Friday night I went to Lemmons to see Nato and Co. Big Parker was the tour drummer, and it was nice to say hello and catch up. There was a lot of people at the show, and it made me feel good that several people asked me where I've been...they noticed that I haven't been hanging out. I still was not feeling well, though, and abstained from alcohol.
On Saturday, I was debating between going up to Chi for Bookmate's solo opening and to see Rootbeer for his birthday. I asked my bro to go with me, but he had other plans. No big deal; I had agreed to play at a trivia event with Karen and some others that night anyway. It was also a costume event. We dressed up as characters from the classic board game Clue, but didn't win the costume contest. We did, however, win second place overall and $300 prize money. We were only one point from first place. I need to be more aggressive about my answers. I didn't push enough for one of the answers, "methane" and we got it wrong. This happened at a separate event. I knew the answer was "Treasure Island" but the team voted it down.
Today I spent a lot of time online searching for real estate. I'm going to choose to build my own house. I found a vacant lot in an area I want that is also near my work. I can afford the lot. I don't know if I can afford the construction. I looked at several prefab home websites, and I saw some really interesting floor plans. Green construction, too! I'm exciited about it!! Some one from the building company will be contacting me within two days to answer my questions. I hope this can come to fruition.
I bought some peppermint tea at the store tonight. There was some text on the side of the package: The first cup moistens my lips and throat. The second cup shatters my lonliness. The this causes the wrongs of this life to fade gently from recollection. The fourth purifies my soul. The fifth lifts me to the realms of the unwinking gods."
