A Gloomy Day

No Monday starts off well if one has to be awoken by an alarm clock, as was the case for me today. Even though our day was busy today, not many  of the activities we did today were joyful. To set the setting: it was pouring rain the entire day. Firstly, we had an appointment to go to the local photography studio where I was to review some pictures taken of me to choose for an event at school but, alas, they lost them. How they managed to that still baffles me. The only upside to this tragedy was we had some time to kill before our second appointment at the doctor’s so dad and I stopped at Target where I picked up my brand new candle warmer! Now, as I type, my room is filled with the intoxicating aroma of Lavender:)

At the doctor’s, they took blood and once again concluded that I do indeed have some strange mixture of bronchitis and pneumonia and thus, they put me on yet another antibiotic. Woop-dee-do…
                        
                       Lunch pt. 1 - salad with tomato, blackberries, pine nuts, lentil sprouts

After lunch, things seemed to pick up. I was able to catch up with a friend I hadn’t seen in 5 weeks. He came over and we chatted, watched New Girl, and made plans to go hiking and hang out on Wednesday! I was supposed to go babysitting for a teacher of mine but when his plans fell through, I was left with the rest of the afternoon to relax and knit which I didn’t mind in the slightest. Once mom got home, we ran out to do some errands and afterwards, I managed to convince her to swing by my favorite place aka Cloud 9 aka Heaven, Whole Foods, to pick up some things I was missing for a recipe I’m working on. I hope to get it up tomorrow! I was able to text another friend and talk about some plans we had about clubs/events for senior year and I’m super excited to actually get to work on them! And to end the night, our family has a tradition of unwinding after a long day with an episode or two of The Big Bang Theory - so that’s exactly what we did! Poor dad needed it too, he got a wisdom tooth out today!
