acl and sinus infections

so this past weekend I ventured to Austin for ACL and the arrival of some camp friends from Virginia and Mississippi. I left TC from dinner at Bravos with the rents and made it to Austin around 11. Went straight to Natalie's and hung out for a while over there. After that, I went to whataburger and met up with Travis and Barrett. Finally made the trip to Cotton's apartment. He, being the great friend that he is, popped my ridiculous boil on my back (sorry yall, just breathe and continue). It was pretty crazy and it hurt a lot. Woke up on Friday and had a man date with Barrett. We went to Abel's for lunch, Mt. Bonnell for the great views and just drove around. We met up with a bunch of girls at SnoBeach for snocones and that was awesome. Charles' 22nd birthday dinner was that night and we went to Matt's to celebrate and then downtown afterwards. Janice and I ended up at KE which was really random. Oh well

Saturday was extremely uneventful. Cotton, Brad and I stayed at the apt virtually all day watching football and cooking fajitas. Around dinner time, Anne Marie convinced us to come over because she was cooking homemade tomato soup and grilled cheese. The soup needed some work but the grilled cheese was really good! Later, I went to the football dance party with all the MS girls and Nat, Paige and Robin. It was a lot of sweaty fun. I randomly ventured over to Tyler's house and that's where I ended up staying for the night! Tyler, Bailey and I watched Holes together which was extremely random but awesome? I guess.

Sunday started with a bang! as I found an ACL ticket not only for myself but for Cotton as well. We didn't make it over to ACL until 3ish. We went straight to the XBOX stage for White Lies. Passion Pit was slated to play after White Lies so we wanted to get good spots. I met up with Lauren and some of her hipster friends and we stayed their all day. Passion Pit was, meh...okay. The CD is so much better. After passion pit was GIRL TALK. Without a doubt, the most fun I've ever had a show. I was even front row! Meaning I was on the barricade and even in the ACL website. Suck on that!

It was so much fun! I could've made it on stage but opted out because I wasn't sure if I could get over that barricade without breaking my phone or myself. After that, I found Cotton with ease considering I just stood there because I was so tired. We talked with Carter and Steven for a bit and then walked back to the apt. I wanted to shower at least seven times but had to settle with just 2. We went to whataburger and just hung out at Natalie's house for a while. I was dead tired.

Woke up at Cotton's and I knew I was going to be sick. I could feel it in my throat. That day, I was going to take the MS girls to SoCo and out to lunch. We went to Chuy's even though it was hard for me not to go to Shady Grove. We went to SoCo and just walked up and down and that was a lot of fun. I started getting really tired and I could feel the sickness coming. That night was hell. Of course I couldn't sleep and of course I would wake up at random hours of the night covered in sweat. I knew these next few days were going to be rough.

Luckily, today was a lot better than Tuesday and Wednesday. On the other hand, it had been almost a week since I worked out and I have not been eating good these past few days. When I get sick, all rules are thrown out of the window and I do things that make me feel better instantly and that includes eating and drinking lots of Dr. Pepper. And that is probably the reason why I've had two palps in the last three days. Today, I ran a mile and walked another to work out a bit. I want to wake up tomorrow around 9:30 to have a solid workout and start the day off right because I'm having lunch with a friend from HS at 12:45 at Gringo's. It'll be good for me; I haven't really hung out with anyone from high school in a long time. I don't know what I'm doing after that. It's TCHS homecoming and they lost to Santa Fe last week so I will definitely not being going to that game. I might try and make my way up to H town so see what everyone is doing. Oh well. It's 3:30 so I need to try and fall asleep to Twilight. Will someone please just buy me this movie so I don't have to rent it over and over again? K Thanks.
