This past weekend was Janis’ birthday. John & I drove up after work to San Rafael. The drive up the 5 was about 4.5 hours worth of very dense fog. It was very creepy at times, esp if we got too far from other drivers. I didn’t like feeling like I was alone on the road. I knew I wasn’t, but I couldn’t see more than 8 feet in any direction. I kept envisioning a human standing in the road and my car swerving to miss him… eeek! After a few hours, John took over driving and I passed out. I was seriously exhausted from that ordeal.
We arrived in San Rafael just after 2am. We hung out with Janis until after 3:30am, then passed out til after 11am the next day. Once awake, we walked to breakfast. We tried to go to a crystal fair too, but it was canceled. Janis & I got mani/pedicures, then I took a nap while she got ready for the evening.
A few of her friends met up with us at her place, then we drove into the city to go to dinner at Herbivore. Anne met up with us for dinner, which was great! She & I split two meals, and they were both fantastic!
After dinner, I hailed us a taxi van to take us to Cafe Du Nord. A few more of her friends met up with us there, including Joe. It was great to see and catch up with him! John, Joe & I mostly hung out in the social lounge area so we could chat. There were some bands on stage, but I wasn’t paying much attention. I was content hanging out and chatting with people.
At some point, we decided to leave the club. Some of Janis’ friends headed to a party. Joe walked home. Janis, John, Christina, Jay, and I grabbed a cab back to her car, and Jay drove us back to San Rafael and played Gin Rummy and Simpsons Clue. It was a great end to the night.
We slept in again, then walked to the crepe and breakfast restaurant on 4th. YUM!!!!!! On the way back, we checked out some unique jewelry stores. I decided that I really like German jewelry styles!
Once back, we loaded the car and headed out. The ride home was much easier, almost no fog! We got home after 9pm. The kitties were so happy to see us! Even now, Gracie hasn’t left my side. She’s been cuddling all over me and laying on me. She’s been rubbing her face all over my keyboard, hands and arms. So adorable!
Unfortunately, Aurora’s not feeling so well. I’m going to try to feed her again before bed. She’s not eating much. 🙁 I think I’ll go do that now.
