First real day of break.

This has felt like the first real day of break. John and I slept in 'til 10:30 and about an hour later went to IHOP for breakfast. You know what the worst part of going out to breakfast is? The caffeine headache you have to endure while getting ready to leave and then while waiting in public like a Zombie. Also, because I was so swollen this am from my latex allergic reaction incurred during the tattooing process, I took a Benadryl almost as soon as I woke up. Since it was only 25mg and I'd just slept nine hours, I figured I'd be fine. But I was about falling over in the booth at IHOP, and as soon as I got back home, I crawled into my bed and took a nap.

Later on, John and I went to the Rec. I did UB giant sets and 20 min on the elliptical. I felt like I was moving through liquid lead thanks to the Benadryl, but it was the first workout I'd done in four days and it felt good.

Came back here, showered, and started in cooking dinner while John cleaned things up. He's been begging for lasagna, so now that I have time, I made some. That and asparagus and zucchini. We ate and watched Zombie Land on TV. It was... bizarre. The line I'll take from that movie is, "Where are you, you spongy, yellow, delicious bastards? Where are you?"

Nothing more so far today. Trying to decide between yoga and piano here before bed. Not sure which yet. Then more benadryl to get this swelling down and nighty nite!
