Food court, apples, an M update and now I'm sick

So, pretty cryptic title, huh? Friday night we went to the food court at the local mall, because we didn't feel like waiting at the nearby, Friday-night packed restaurant. (We've been getting a lot of rain, in case you hadn't heard.) We pigged out, man. I am so fat. Can't stand it.

Then Sunday, my parentals came over, and my mom and I went apple-picking at Johnny Appleseed's orchard. It was a gorgeous day other than that crazy wind, and we got us some real juicy, huge apples. Then we had a birthday cake to belatedly celebrate M's birthday with my parents. My dad just had hernia surgery, so he and M gimped around the house while my mom and I went out. We also stopped at one of my favorite places, and I got a deal and a half on some Halloween decor. Cripes, it isn't even Halloween, and there's shitloads of X-mas merchandise out!

M's Stevens-Johnson Syndrome is doing much better, although his hands and feet are still ridiculously swollen, and he can't get his feet in shoes. He saw the dermie yesterday, and things are progressing along. In the meantime, I called out yesterday from work and went to the doc. I've been battling a sinus infection for awhile, and M said: "You expect me to go to the doc, and yet you won't go." Touche. So I went, and we wound up talking about M the whole time, since my doc is M's doc. The doc was sorry to hear about M's recent issues with the SJS, but whattaya gonna do. Anyway, he hooked me up with some good drugs, although they are giving me a bellyache.

So that's it! Aren't you glad you tuned in for the fascinating Christine update?
