Eating dinner with a celebrity (kind of sort of) CHEERS

What a beautiful day out today! It's in the 70s and the sun is shining and it would be a perfect day to go for a nice long walk except I seem to have come down with some sort of bronchitis/pleurisy/consumption. I don't really have a cough though, just pain in the chest when I breathe which is making sleeping a bit of a pain (literally). I'll go to the doctor if it gets worse but I'm holding off since I'm pretty sure they'll just tell me it's a viral infection and it will resolve on its own. I can still walk around but if I bend over or go up stairs I get a bit winded.

What have I been doing this long weekend? Well we had dinner with Oliver Peck from Ink Masters. Ok, we sat at the table next to Oliver Peck from Ink Masters. Derek is the one that recognized him. I'm shocked that he recognized someone from reality tv before I did! I'm a reality tv junkie! We didn't ask for a picture or autograph. I'm not the type to go up to celebrities and ask for pictures or autographs especially when they're enjoying a delicious Thai dinner. I was enjoying my dinner too even though it was a bit spicy, when it shouldn't have been spicy at all. I paid for that later with a burning bladder but I hate sending food back. I've had the dish many times before, it's not supposed to be spicy at all. I think it might have been cooked near something spicy or they used the same utensils to cook my food after a spicy dish. Ah well, it happened and it still tasted delicious.

I took a trip to IKEA and got some pillows for the couch. I also got some meatballs and that delicious sauce to bring home. You can't leave IKEA without some meatballs. I feel like I'm very slowly making the apartment feel more like home.There's still a lot of empty wall space but I have some art work that just needs to be framed and then we can hang it up. The curtains will go up soon I swear!

Today I'm lounging around enjoying a Mang-O-Rita on our porch/balcony with Derek. We saw some blue jays making a lot of noise and a squirrel not using one of his paws but still getting around just fine. Now it's time for sushi and miso soup! Hope you had a good long weekend or a good Thanksgiving if you're Canadian (I'm looking at you Spark!)
