Yesterday was almost a complete waste for me. I had taken a sleep aid the night before, and although I was able to get up, I felt slow all day. We went to see the Royal Shakespeare Company’s performance of The Canterbury Tales at the Kennedy Center, because it was A’s parents’ 40th anniversary. Unfortunately I dozed off twice! (Possibly due to the “Cherry Blossom” drink I had beforehand, which involved Black Cherry vodka among other things.) I did manage to stay awake for most of it, and it was quite amusing. After the performance we took the metro back to Vienna, and I went home to get the cake while A and her sister went with their parents back to their house. The glaze had unfortunately made a bit of a mess in the fridge, but I cleaned it up and went over to my in-laws’ house where we all had a piece of cake. I wasn’t very careful this weekend and I think I gained a couple of pounds, bah.

I’m still sleepy, I think…
