Perhaps In Part Because It Had So Much Potential

If I had a superpower, besides my above average hearing, it would be the ability to remember special dates and anniversaries. So in addition to the dates that I do remember, I always feel like there is a special day that I am forgetting about, and today is one of those days. What happened on April 11 that I should remember?

I checked my blogs, both new and old, and only found out that it was around this time two years ago that the whole ‘Let’s Not Be Awkward’ moment was in full effect and three years ago, I met not Carson Daly. But both of those events aren’t the kind of thing you celebrate every year.

Well, I think I am getting sick again. I felt as much as I went to bed early last night, before the clock even hit single digits, which is a rarity for me. And this morning, I woke up with a nagging cough. However with the rest of the sickness that is going around the office, my coughing is just background noise, and has gotten me no amount of sympathy.

I am sad that sickness has overtaken me on what is suppose to be the most beautiful weekend to date. But hopefully with a good sleep in day tomorrow, I should be well enough to attend Jenny’s picnic on Sunday.

Tonight is another shot at Japanese food, as I am venturing to O-Sho again. This time I am ordering whatever Jenny tells me to get and will not be distracted by all of the colourful pictures on the menu. Jenny knows just as well as I do that I don’t really want to eat shrimp, so why order it? It should be a fun time; chances to dress up again, meet new boys and of course see whatever sparks are being created first hand.

I spent some of the morning reading through my old blog. It isn’t quite the masterpiece that my current blog is, but it is still plenty funny. I thought I would add a post for you all.
